Story line Completed

So we've finally decided what we're going to do our film opening on. It's going to be about a boxer who is one of the best. Everyone knows him. The scene is going to open with a drone shot of the boxing match. This is when we will have our fight scene. We will choreograph the fight and use the tips I had researched and mentioned in my last blog posts.I was doing some more research and the slides I was reading from which is called , “What Makes a Good Film Opening.”,  mentioned that if we want the viewer engaged, it's good to do fast paced editing. So during the fight scene is where I will apply the fast paced editing. I'll have a variety of shots of different throws/hits the boxers will make.  By doing this, it'll pull in the viewer's attention more. This will make the viewer more focused on what is taking place and wanting know what will happen next.

 During the fight we'll have his opponent hit him so hard he falls to the ground and gets completely knocked out. We then want the scene to shift to our main character in a hospital room laying on the bed. We are going to see if Rafa's dad can get us a hospital room since he's a doctor. If he can't we'll just use a normal bed room and that'll be where the boxer wakes up. Once the boxer is in his hospital bed, we want the tv to be playing the news in the background. As the camera is slowly zooming in on the boxer's face, we'll hear in the background the news reporter saying something to the degree of "The best boxer out there, {boxer's name}, was unexpectedly wiped out by his biggest rival, {rival's name}. Will {boxer's name} be ready for his next fight?." And during that last line we'll have the camera at a close up to his eyes and that is when he wakes up and opens his eyes and the scene ends and it will switch to the movie name. This will set up the whole plot of the movie which will be about the boxer healing from his major injuries and getting prepared for his next fight. This film opening will leave viewers at a cliff hanger. They'll be questioning what will happen next. They'll wonder "will he be ready for the fight on time?" or "what if he loses.?"
