Tone of our Portfolio

My group members and I have decided that we are going to go with the action genre. The action genre as I said, seems to have a sort of formulaic context to it. Most action movie openings focus on establishing two elements: the tone and the characters. For example, Raiders of the Lost Ark opens with Indiana Jones searching for a golden idol which establishes his character and the subsequent adventurous, action scenes establish the fast-paced tone. Furthermore, Avengers: Infinity War opens with a similar formula of Thanos, the antagonist, attacks many of the prior protagonists like Hulk, Loki, and Thor. The scene establishes the characters and sets the violent, dominant tone that will follow for the entire movie.

Based on the research, the formula for a successful action opening scene is to focus on establishing the characters, in our case it will be Juan Mila, and establish the tone for the rest of the film. The plot elements have not been identified yet but we do understand the format for our scene and how we will execute it.
