For my opening sequence, I know that I want a part of the montage to portray my own interpretation of love, which for me is kind of a 1950's Hollywood approach. I envisage a girl getting ready for a date, in a pretty fifties dress, and maybe listening to a record player or something. In order to portray this theme, I have made a mood board which I can look back on when actually making my film to help me.
I know that I want my opening montage sequence to have a fifties/sixties feel to it, so to see how successfully I would be able to achieve this, I shot some test footage and edited it to make two possible sequences. I originally wanted to add a 'sepia' effect, but I couldn't get this to work, so I ended up just manually adjusting the colours of the video. I actually quite like the effect this gives, and may end up using it in my final product.
