The Final Idea
As a group we have come up with the final concept for our film opening. It is a different idea from our two original pitches but we have brought in elements from both.
The opening follows a teenage girl throughout here normal day. This will include shots of her with her friends, at her house, at the park, etc. We will film her in these different locations using a mid shot. As she is being filmed the camera will pan around her 360 degrees keeping at the mid shot level. The scenes will change and her location will change but the camera will continue to move around her. The girl will not be making any movements or hold any interactions with the people around her, she will just stare directly into the camera.
As she is being circled there will be quick scenes of 'weird' shots suddenly appearing but it will then return to her 'normal' day. These weird scenes will include her running away, someone shouting at her, her being grabbed, etc. As the opening moves on more of these 'weird' scenes will be added along with the 'normal' scenes. The tempo will speed up and it will become almost like a montage. As the pace increases and non-diegetic ringing sound will appear in the background and increase in volume as it speeds up. All of the other sound in the opening will be natural and diegetic. We will try and muffle it slightly so it is not over bearing and also to add a hint of confusion and chaos.
Once this fast montage has reached its peak it will quickly change to a shot of the girl's eyes. The camera will slowly zoom outwards into a long shot. As you can see more of the girl and her surroundings, it is revealed that she is in a doctors office/hospital. She will be wearing a hospital gown and she will look tatty and tired. A doctor will be sitting near her repeating her name, trying to gain her attention. The last thing that will happen is the girl will finally realise her name is being called and she will turn towards the doctor. It will then cut to a black screen.

Our credits will be integrated throughout using the natural negative space available.
