My New Opening

Sequence

My Idea

• My idea is to have a family of three, the mum and two sons.

• It is going to be about one of the little boys going missing. However in the opening sequence we are not going to find out how he has gone missing to leave it on a cliff hanger

• In the beginning I want to film shots of them as a family, and the two little boys playing together and at the end I want to film the little boy playing alone to show that his brother has left him

Where I’m shooting

I'm shooting in Coleshill, Beaconsfield . I want to film on the Coleshill cricket club green.

Genre: Drama• I want my opening sequence to be a drama. I

also want it to be mysterious and leave people wondering what happened to the boy.

Target Audience • My target audience will probably be early

teenagers as I don’t want younger as there may be scary and sad

• I also think the topic that I am exploring is quite hard so I think I should have an older audience watching it

CharactersThe Little Brother• I am going to film a three year old, they are going to be the character

who has loses their brother. • I want him to wear a bright coat so that it is easy to see him

The Lost Brother• This character is going to be a little older (around 5 years old.) • I am going to film clips of the the lost brother to show the memory’s

of him before he went missing.• I want him to wear a darker colour coat

The Mother• My opening sequence is going ot be about the mothers reaction and

how much she is hurting• I want to film scenes with her crying to show the loss she has

experienced

Technical Construction

I am going to use my Nikon 3100 and I may also use the Nikon 7100

Format• I am going to creating a 3 minute opening sequence to a

film which will introduce character, setting, plot and mood.

• I want to build a climax through out my opening sequence, maybe with the use of music or the way I arrange the clips in the sequence.

• I want my opening sequence to create suspense and tension

• I want the audience to feel sorry for the family that has lost one of their children.

Representation

Dialogue

• The voice over is going to help me set the scene for the audience, it help them understand what is going on. I may give them an insight into events that may happen later in the opening sequence.

• I am going to use a little dialogue in the sequence but most of my dialogue will come from the voice over

Other Sound

• I am going to use mostly non-diegetic sound through out my opening sequence, but I may also use some diegetic sound

• I am going to use music through out my sequence which is sad and downbeat hopefully this will add to the sadness of the opening sequence

THE END
