That's right, currently all I have now is just a poster of a movie and me talking about a movie. But I need something more than that. I need an opening.
JeremeyJahns has one, might be short but it's fucking awesome.
FuryofhteFilmFan has two at least, since he changed his opening.
TomChalbash has one as well.
I need an opening. Before we talk about the opening I have in mind, let's talk about the previous two openings I had for my movie reviews. (You don't have to read about that, if you want to skip to when I talk about the new opening, start from the sentence "Now the third opening".)
The opening I used during the summer of 2009 was a parody of James Rolfe's theme song. I didn't like it so I don't use it anymore. The lyrics were:
He's gonna keep you up to date.
Telling you which movies are good and which are crap.
He's the craziest Pokémon fan you ever heard.
He'd rather shoot than being shot.
He is the obsessed Pokémon fan.
He's the obsessed movie/family guy fan.
His name is Blaze.
Well, I can see problems with the opening. The first sentence is "He's gonna keep you up to date.", which is misleading since I can't see the newest movies the moment they come out in theater. So no, I'm defiantly not keeping people up to date, most of the times I review the movies after they're out in the US. If most of my audience were from Iceland, this would make sense, but most of them are Americans, so I'm not keeping them up to date since I'm most of the times late. And the second sentence is "Telling you which movies are good and which are crap" is pretty misleading too. Because I happen to enjoy a lot of movies that are unappreciated. (The new Clash of the Titans, Tooth Fairy, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Bangkok Dangerous just to name a few) And because of that my opinion is very different from anyone else's. There's nothing wrong with that, having special opinion when it comes to movies is a good thing. The rest of the theme is true about me, except for the "shoot than being shot" maybe. That was just random.
The second opening was used for most of this year. It was "BlazikenMaster Productions presents, a movie review by Blaze The Movie Fan", and since it didn't have any music, I personally found it incredibly boring. Nobody else had a problem with it, but I knew it needed music.
Now the third opening (and hopefully the one that won't fail) has the following lyrics:
He reviews movies.
And is never afraid to state his opinion.
He might have a strange taste in movies.
But doesn't let low reviews stop him from enjoying them.
He reviews older movies as well as new ones.
He always gives reasons as why he likes or dislikes a movie.
His name is Blaze.
And he's a movie fan.
I will admit that there could be something wrong with those lyrics. But one thing's for sure, I will use music while I sing this opening. I am probably gonna use different movie posters while I'm singing the opening.
So what do you guys think of the lyrics? Is it good enough? Or does it need more work?
Well, it's kind of difficult to tell if the lyrics are good enough or not if I have no idea what kind of music you will use.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's not bad, but maybe you could try and come up with rhymes, that would be a lot better.
Two sentences I noticed that would make a nice rhyme are:
He reviews older movies as well as new ones.
He always gives reasons as why he likes or dislikes.
Not a perfect rhyme, but both ending words of the two sentences end with -es.
That's right, I just removed the 'a movie' part from the second sentence, as that word was used many times before and people know what you are talking about. I'm not sure, but I think it would be better with rhymes, but then again, I have no idea what music you will use.
Two more rhymes came to my mind.
ReplyDeleteFirst one is the first two sentences:
He is a movie reviewer
Never afraid to state his opinion to the viewer
Second one:
Even if low reviews stand in the way
He'll watch the movie anyway
I know they are not perfect, just trying to help.
