Since our whole film opening is covered by the main characters voice over, we thought that adding some special techniques to enhance the actual footage on the stage.
So I started to research some effects that could add to the overall beginning of the film; I stubbled upon freeze frame.
Adding a freeze frame is when you stop the film in a particular place in order to either add emphasis on something or fill in information not given, even to cover up missing footage. They are a quick and effective way to start a drama genre for a film. Participants create an image using their bodies – with no movement. Freeze frames can be made by individuals, small groups or even the whole group.
I thought that this would be a perfect addition in our opening.
Here is an example from the film "Goodfellas" :
I want to utilize freeze frames in order to introduce the main character and her best friend. I feel as though freeze frames will create more interest for the individuals watching and adds a unique touch that isn't used as common as other techniques in films.
