post 3

 This is my third posting for my portfolio project. I have chosen the genre Action and Adventure to use as my opening scene. The action and adventure genre is,"Action and adventure have long been established features of American and other national cinemas. Associated with narratives of quest and discovery, and spectacular scenes of combat, violence and pursuit, action and adventure films are not restricted to any particular historical or geographic setting. Indeed, the basic elements of conflict, chase, and challenge can be inflected in any number of different directions. As such, action and adventure as cinematic forms are constantly in the process of reinvention, manifesting themselves in a multiplicity of different genres and sub-genres over time. It is nonetheless useful to distinguish between the two terms and the kind of cinema to which they refer, since "action," "adventure," and "action-adventure" are all descriptors with difference valences."

I am still deciding on on what exactly my story will be and what will happen. I think that the setting of the opening scene will be during the daytime. This will make it easier to film because at night special lights need to be used such as flash so the characters are not in the dark. Filming during the night time might also be more dangerous i were to do an action packed beginning scene. An example would be street car racing, which if it were at night would be more dangerous because it is tougher to see.
