Initial Group Idea

The initial group idea was thought up by a member of the group and has been developed slightly from there initial idea. The task is to complete the opening two minute sequence for a feature film. The plot for this clip is based around a young male aged 16 to 18 ( who will most probably someone from the school who is willing to play the part) getting ready in the morning to go about his daily routine and as the sequence goes through the cast and production names etc, however using editing and props the names will appear in the sequence for example the name of the writer could appear on a note left upon the fridge as what is thought to be the central protagonist is getting ready, another idea following this pattern would be to write names into the toast these are ideas which will be put into place whilst filming to see whether they are achievable. Throughout the sequence it will show the character preparing in several rooms including the kitchen bedroom and bathroom, the genre for this clip is a romantic comedy and it will be set in a modern day setting in a modern house, ( limitations to this idea would be the fact that the majority of this filming would be outside of school so little work would be completed during school time also this editing style writing the names on the screen may not be as noticeable as we would prefer. Then following with the the sequence towards the end as what we think is the central protagonist leaves his house he is struck by a car then the camera moves onto another character which is followed for several seconds to lead the audience believing that this is now the central protagonist.(the major factor behind this concept would be the running over sequence which will be a disguised sequence for example the character walks round a corner and emphasized tyres screeching is fed into the scene using imovie ), therefore a car would need to be a prop as well as the items located in a scenario in a modern houses interior. This clip would be set around Ilkley and in a house of one of my school members., and use a variety of shot types ranging from close ups to long shots as well as dutch tilts to create the effect that something in the narrative isn't quite right and high angles to make the character appear vulnerable. The age of the character being 16 to 18 reflects the audience and the if this were to be broad casted on television then its BBFC rating would most likely be a 12 due to the car accident scene being a real life issue.






Modifications
There have been slight alterations toward the approach to the end of the film. to start with there will be no major accident occurring, this will be replaced by the male character falling over due to he is concentrating more on the female in the scene rather than where he is going.

On top of this there will be no second male in the sequence due to availability reasons with actors and due to time is valuable this is an issue which can easily be worked around.
