In class, myself and Rachel had to pitch our idea for our film opening to our class and teacher. The aim of this was to get input and feedback from others, and see if they are able to spot any implications that we may have missed. In the pitch we discuss the idea of the film, and the opening two minutes in more detail.
The plot of the film revolves around a teenage boy who has dedicated his life to sightings of UFO, and looks at possible clues in great detail. For our opening, we have decided we are going to create a titles sequence, where we have physical objects showing the names and jobs of the cast and crew. This will be set in my garage, and all the titles will be placed on objects in the garage, such as on a paint pot, or light switch. Although it is in a garage, we will design the set to look like our character has taken it over and made it his own, with a map on the wall and polaroid photos and post it notes to the different sightings. The titles will be integrated into the plot line of the story, and the action will continue behind, and carry on once the tiles have finished. Towards the end of the opening 2 minutes, the titles will come to an end and the man action of the story will begin. A text message will be received from the main character's friend, and you see the character leave the garage with his backpack and some equipment. If we were making this into a full length film, the story would continue with the friends meeting up and trying to discover an extra-terrestrial.
Below is the video of our pitch which has been uploaded to the school YouTube channel.
