First Idea

First Idea

• Long shot of a middle aged caucasian male silhouette, starring at the Houses of Parliament.
• Cut to men's glasses (intense close-up) >reflection of Big Ben in his glasses.
• Cut to black screen and titleof the film.
• Cut to the a VCR recording of the man speaking directly to the camera. Fuzzy video quality draped over background.
• Cut to shady camera shot of a man entering a bathroom. (Bright lighting) juxtaposes with sad, dark expression holding a bottle of Vodka, and taking large dosages of prescription medicine. staring intensely.
• Establishing long shot of the front of the school, then cuts to the staff room (non diegetic sound playing over the top)
• In the background you can hear the sound of the news reporter talking about the Prime Minister, then a cut to a teacher assembly.
• Long shot of the protagonist walking down the corridor, with his hand always on the gun. (applause can be heard in the distance) all of this will be done with an over the shoulder shot to make the viewer feel more connected. 
• The protagonist enters the room and and looks up at the back to the Prime Minister.
• the background cuts to back.

This was the first idea that we had planned as a group, however we all agreed that it was revealing far to much of the storyline, we though as it is an opening extract we want to feed the audience little bits of information, so that we don't ruin the whole story yet we still manage to hold their attention and keep them hooked. After coming to a conclusion on what to do we thought best to cut it down in areas and work on our ideas to improve the title sequence. The idea is to create a more intense, yet realistic piece of media. We have agreed that we are still keeping it a political thriller, as it is a rather unique idea that few people have tried before. We all plan to keep working on our ideas and will use team work to create the best thriller opening sequence that we can.
