Opening sequence proposal

Isabella Freire

What is it?

My opening sequence is about a boy who is running away from his family.

He will be wondering around London early in the morning.

The camera shots will be of him traveling on a train to places in London and walking aimlessly around the city.

What should be in it?

A range of camera shots capturing the different emotions of the boy through close-ups and medium shots as he wanders around the city lost.

The titles will be integrated into the shots. This will include the type of productions, characters, and necessary information. The titles will fit the genre of the film.

Format-

The first three minutes of a film, including an introduction to the character, setting, genre and mood. These three minutes will include a range of camera angles to capture the story and emotions of the boy who will be walking around London.

Genre-

The genre is going to be a drama. It has a sense of mystery included.

It’s a small production.

Characters-

In my opening sequence I’m going to only include one main character, this will be my brother.

Location-

I’m filming my opening sequence around London, such as south bank and other areas along the river. I’m going to include a train station to capture the travel that the character takes place. I’m going to film this early in the morning, to capture the light and also so its not too busy.

Props-

The main character is going to be carrying a bright orange backpack. This is to make him stand out to the camera, and to also show that he is travelling somewhere.

Sound-

I’m going to include the sound of music mostly. There will be a few other sounds, that would be in the area around filming for example the sound of trains would be included. However no dialogue or convocation would be in the opening sequence.

Technical construction-

I’m going to use my Nikon Film camera, tripod and iMovie or final cut pro as my editing programme. The editing is going to be a realistic editing.

Representation-

I want the audience to feel sorry for the character in the opening sequence. To already feel emotion towards him.

Target audience-

Be an older audience, older teens to young adults. This is because it could be confusing for younger viewers as the drama may scare them.

Filming- The filming is going to take place over half term.
