What have I learnt?

During this task, I have learned that different directors use different styles to create an effective film. I have also learnt that there are different types of coming of age films, such as the more serious ones created by Jason Reitman, or the more light-hearted and comedic films created by John Hughes. When looking into the different types of films created by these directors, I discovered that within light-hearted films, lots of high key lighting and upbeat music is featured, which i will try to incorporate into my opening sequence.
