Research 2

When researching genres to choose, I came across the film American Sniper. This film emphasizes on something we want to implement on in our opening. This would be the focus on one character, and his story in war and after. We will be implementing this similarly in our opening by having it be about a veterans struggle with PTSD. Our opening will give a brief idea of how the film portrays the struggle of PTSD. The movie American Sniper's focus on a singular character in war was well executed, leading to it's success. It created an emotional connection between audience and character, which is what we are aiming to do.

While reviewing with my peers, we decided that our opening will give a flashback to the veteran's servitude in war. We decided on this focus because it will allow us to give our explanation of the war before showing his struggle with PTSD. This will follow sequential pattern since the war obviously comes before PTSD
