I GOT IT!!!!!!! Im actually really excited that I knew exactly the plot and point of my film opening.
Basically the first shot will be of a girl in a laundromat putting her clothes in the wash these scences i want to be in a grayish tone but I want her to be the center of attention and stand out so shell probably wear something more colorful. Then you will see a closeup of her inserting a coin into the washing mashing, and it will switch into a casino, specifically putting a coin into a slot machine. This will be done with a mesh cut and there will be three of these. The shot will widen out and show the same girl sitting on the casino chair.
It will then transition back to the laundromat where the woman will appear stressed, sweaty, and nervous. Then as she goes to turn the washing machine on it will mesh cut back into the casino of her playing a game and pulling the lever. Again when it goes back to the laundromat she tries to shake the thoughts away starts the washing machine and sits down.
The ending shows the audience why she is trying to quit her gambling addiction. The match cuts between the laundromat and casino are to demonstrate how hard it is for her to do daily tasks without going back to the memories of the casino or wanting to go back. The rest of the film would be about her overcoming the addiction and maybe even falling back into old habits. I was thinking of calling the film “Falling” or “Getting” ill explain why in another blog post :) I really want the diffrence between both settings to be noticeable.. these are the vibes im going for.
