What specific elements of the film opening did you like? Was there anything that left you confused? (be specific) What suggestions do you have for changes? Great intro camera angle and quality commentary going throughout. Were the other two kids against the lonely kid? They could've showed a quick clip at the end with becoming all friends. Some of their camera angles/shots were very interesting and made the film look professional I think the plot is that they bumped into each other in the halls multiple times, and then in detention he stood up for him, but I'm not exactly sure. change some of the transitions, and maybe include more obvious instances of the two main characters being "polar opposites" to make the storyline make more sense I loved the camera angles and the way this was filmed. The beginning shot with the drone was AWESOME. There were

It is my hope that our opening will have a similar feature, which

  This shot was a leitmotiff that was  filmed in the end of Avengers Endgame  (2019). In this scene Captain America is facing off against an army on his own when out of nowhere all of his friends that had disappeared somehow returned and helped to fight with Captain America. In the scene they play the Avengers theme in the background to lighten everyone's mood. This was a parallelism shot which was filmed in Captain America the First Avenger (2011). In this scene Captain America acquires his well known shield and makes a team of his own to destroy their enemies hideouts. This scene showed parallelism through the star on his shield because it switches scenes by transitioning through the star. This was a simultaneity shot that was filmed in Batman the Dark Knight (2008). In this scene Batman is given two locations by the Joker which regard where he kept two people, one being Rachel Dawes and the other being the new mayor Harvey Dent. When batman goes to find Rachel's location, he
