Quote Opening!

 Ok Ok Ok, I just had a very good idea pop up in my head regarding how to establish the opening of my film. That idea is...... A QUOTE! 

I was thinking myself earlier "what are the ways I can establish the overall theme of the opening" and I thought "why not a quote". There have been many movies that have established an aspect of their film through a quote. Star Wars with their "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away" or Lady Bird when Greta Gerwing had this quote as the opening "Anybody who talks about California hedonism has never spent a Christmas in Sacramento". These quotes give a sense to the audience of what the story would be based on or highlight a theme that is present throughout the film. A quote that I am going to employ for my film is a quote from Whiplash (yes I know, I have an unhealthy addiction to Whiplash), but the quote I chose really exemplifies the story and it helps set the theme of the opening. 

Terence Fletcher: There are no two words in the English language more harmful than "good job". 

This quote fits in perfectly with my piece, Jim is a character who isn't favorable of compliments and he values criticism much more. He thinks that compliments of his work would make him feel less motivated to do better. Determination and hard work are also common motifs in the film opening, so I feel this quote fits in pretty well.
