Post 4: Idea for the opening sequence

On Sunday, we went to see the new Woody Allen flick 'Midnight in Paris", a hugely entertaining surrealistic fantasy with a zillion characters. Now, I am thinking of an opening scene with partying Zelda, Scott, Talluhla and all showing up at the Lyric at night  for the vaudeville show in a fancy old 1920's chauffeured yellow car. Definitely over the top costumes and acting. As far as the look, script, zany gags,  and cinematography, I am thinking of course of my idols  Caro and  Jeunet: Delicatessen, A Very Long Engagement, The City of Lost Children, Amelie, Micmac a Tire Larigo... I am also thinking of Leolo. Mostly wide angle lenses, warm atmospheric colors, odd camera moves, unexpected juxtapositions, strange character actors.
