my final idea for my film opening follows a man, who reveals to be dangerous getting beaten up by the female, seemingly fragile protagonist. The genre is a parody of horror movies and I will be using the subversion of tropes for comedic element. The main trope that I am subverting from is that of the helpless female victim, as she acts in a brutal careless manner, heavily contrasting the expectations her appearance bestow upon her.
The mugger will be given the most screen time in this segment, however will not be developed as he has no speaking lines and his face will be shown for as little as possible. Though the woman will also have her face shown for a short amount of time, she will be clearly set as the protagonist through her speaking lines.
Though I want the protagonist to wear typically feminine clothing, in order to execute the act of kicking the man in the face, she will need to wear flat shoes for health and safely.
To lock on to the horror elements, I will overuse horror sound effects and have a high emphasise on foley in order to create suspense in the beginning. Though I want this to seem genuine to begin with in order to enforce the impact of the surprise ending. In order to show the parody elements, I will have the protagonist speak in a casual manner, with relaxed posture and have the background music become more relaxed. I will also need multiple shoots of the kick in order to get different angles of impact so that I can edit the kick together to have a far stronger impact in order to create the sense of comedy.
