We wanted to create the opening to 'superbad' as it was a much different atmosphere compared to the horror/thriller genres we had looked at. We had the 2 male dancers on a stage with a blank background to make it look much more professional. This opening showed us how fun filming could be and what type of techniques we could use for our own film.
