Did you know that your front door is one of the most important facets of your home’s exterior appearance?
Have you heard someone refer to the term “establishing shot”?
This term is related to movie making and is used to describe the very first camera shot in a movie scene to introduce you to what is coming next. The camera is fixed on what is called a jib arm that is held above whatever scene that will be used, and then the camera is slowly lowered down. Why is this method used? It helps establish a sense of what the viewer is about to view. It lets you know if what you are viewing takes place in an old western town, the past, present, or even future. Besides letting you know where the characters in the movie are, this type of shot also lets the viewer know what time of day it is. If the shot takes place in the early morning hours it is expected to be a long journey ahead. If the shot takes place at night there may be a dangerous event that is about to happen. The establishing shot can tell you a lot about what you are about to see in a movie that you are watching.
Think of your front door as the establishing shot for your home’s exterior.
The entry door to your home has the same effect as the opening scene in a movie. When your guest arrives, it tells a lot about your personal style as well as inviting your guest into this beautiful world that you have created inside your home. Your entry door is your establishing shot to your home’s look and feel.
How is your entry door setting the scene?
What would you like people to know about your style?
Are you just a bit on the traditional country side, or maybe you have a bit of a rock ‘n’ roll streak in you? There are exterior doors that can communicate either of these.
Would you like your guest to see you as being sophisticated or elegant? If this is the case you may want to consider a door with a glass center. Would you like to give the impression of being strong and powerful? Then consider a door that has more of a wood surface with a thin glass border.
