Planning Out Our Opening Sequence.

This is a list of points I am going to follow to create, with my group, a good opening sequence.
1) Decide on which sequence is going to be constructed in your group.

2)Begin to plan out the construction:

• What locations are needed? (Think about distance and costs)
• Who is required: What cast do you need?
• Think about narrative elements-what story are you setting up?
• Mise en scene-What mood/style/genre elements must be included
• Then, start to storyboard out shots-How will they convey the right parts of the above points-How can they be used to create tension?

Our opening sequence.

We have chossen a idea called 'Angel Dust'.

We have named our production company, 'Awkward Turtle Pictures'

We thought it could be distrubuted by Magnolia Pictures and supported by Brain Damage Films. We thought it would be good to use two distrubuters to so that we would have more money to spend on the film itself and advertising but the down side to using two is that they may take a higher percentage of the profit which means our production company, Awkward Turtle Pictures, will get less money and will have less creative control in how the film is shot.

The locations we have chosen to film at are James Burkes room in Cornhill and the studio space. James's room will be where our killer will live and take his victims and the studio space will be where we will shot the clubs scenes.

As a group we have decided that this film will target a teenage and young adult audience because they are members of the public, which go to the cinema the most because they are more likely to have the dispossible money to do so. Also teenagers/young adults are featured in our film. For example we have decide to cast a young female actress as our main character. Her being a girl also appeals to a male audience and the killer is Josh, the creator of 'Angel Dust'. He was very keen to be involved in the drama.

In this opening sequence we are trying to make it known to the audience that there is a killer loose on the internet picking off innocent girls by pretending to be a gentle man and caring and interested but after spiking the the girls dirnk s with Angel Dust at his flat he would much rather see them kill themselves. We want to set this up in the opening sequence so that in the film itself the story will go slightly differently as the killer is out witted by one of the girls he takes.

Mise en scene that we will be requiring will be: 1) A knife

2) Fake blood

3) Glass/plastic glass

4) Flour and suger mixed

5) small plastic bag

6) Laptop

These will be used to add to the drama of the opening sequence and add to the mood and make whats happening on screen clear for the audience.

We now have to start drawing up a stroyboard to show how each shot will go into the next so that on shoot day everyone on the set will know whats going on.
