Adding a flash forward

I wanted to make a post dedicated to explaining why me and my group decided to use a flash forward as a opening. We did this because we wanted to reel the viewer in and link the ending to the beginning. After watching our complete movie, I think we should have differentiated in maybe color or shutter speed to signify that the scene was different.



"Remy dreams of becoming a great chef, despite being a rat in a definitely rodent-phobic profession. He moves to Paris to follow his dream, and with the help of hapless garbage boy Linguini he puts his culinary skills to the test in the kitchen but he has to stay in hiding at the same time" (Wikipedia)

For example, like this scene in ratatouille where the food critic takes a bite of food and a flashback is shown of him as a child the explicit appearance change along with the color shift lets the viewer know that this is a flashback. if me and my group would have done one of those two things our film opening scene may have looked more like a flash forward due to the differentiations

Discussion on genres and sub-genres

 Tropes are things that are specific to certain types of genres. To understand tropes we have to understand what genres are.  According to StudioBinder genre can be defined as "categories where a particular movie can be placed based on the setting, characters, plot, mood, tone, and theme."  Genres also have sub-genres, which are "smaller category that fits inside a particular genre" Overall the combination of genres and sub-genres allows for the overall combination of a great film.
