Ideas on Film Openings


Paiges Media Idea


This is the building I would like my character to walk up to within my idea of the opening scene. The first shot would be my establishing shot showing the setting (crematorium) and the charters involved.

I would also like my idea to be low lighting, with only natural sunlight and maybe a few candles leading up to this building.
the character will have long, back combed hair, making it look as if she has struggled in her previous journey. I would like it to also be a she because it would then play up to the idea of the stereotypical damsel in distress. She would be wearing no shoes and have mud up and down her legs.
The viewer will also never see her face as it will only ever be a point of view shot and a shot looking at her from behind.


Josie’s Media idea 
Plot: 3 boys, 3 girls (teenagers) go camping on a foggy misty night near a forest  They are all laughing and joking around, having fun drinking alcohol and having a good night. Then one of them notices something hovering in the distance, a black figure and the night goes downhill from there. Setting: forest (Shenfield common)


Karina’s Media idea
The opening sequence for my idea is based on two lovers. The audience first sees the couple walking through fields holding hands. The lighting is high key, setting the scene to create a romantic effect. As we move along the, we see the couples do various actions relating to love; hugging, play fighting, kissing. While all these are taking place the sound track begins as orchestral music to suit the tone. However as the audience continues to watch they rapidly see a change in the relationship, turning from good to bad. Love letters and notes are all being ripped up and tore to treads. They get a sense that something bad is about to happen as the soundtrack turns in to loud deep heart beats. Then everything goes silent and black, and as the finishing shot the audience sees a body being hanged with blood everywhere.
