Two more working ideas of opening title sequences
idea 3:
The plot of the film is about a boy named Toby who wants to become a famous rockstar however still lives with his parents and cant't get a job anywhere. He decides to ask his best friend Sophie for advice and she agrees to help. In the beginning of the film he finds out that his eyesight has been effected due to his terminal illness and therefore he spends lots of his time in hospital. His dream of becoming a rockstar has stopped as he doesn't believe that he will be able to play his guitar without his eyesight. In the middle of the film a girl around his age is moved into his ward as she has a terminal illness. She also shares Toby's dream in working in the music industry. She is the one to pursuade his to carry on with his guitar and inspires him with the dream of become famous. In the middle of the film Toby is still in hospital and his eyesight has got much worse however he is slowly mastering how to play the guitar again. Sophie is helping him write the songs and decides that she will be his manager. At the end of the film Toby's carrier has vastly increased and his talent has been noticed by many agents. He gets the chance to impress a popular agent which he does by spending lots of time in the music studio. He writes a song about Sophie which eventually becomes a very popular song and he impresses his agent.
The scene will be set in a music studio. An establishing shot will be used to show the audience the location. A tracking shot will be used to zoom closer to the recording booth where a man is sitting on a stool with his guitar infant of a micro phone. In the right composition of the shot, a lady will be sitting at the computer in the room and say the words "ready when you are". At that moment the man starts to sing and play his guitar. A non-diegetic soundtrack will also be overlapping him creating more atmosphere for the audience. The shot will then transition to a few girls in the booth singing part of the song singing and dancing. The man in the booth previously is now sitting next to the lady at the computer dancing. The scene will cut between the man and the 2 girls singing to show that they are making the song.
idea 4
The plot of the film is about a man who wants to find his siblings to get his parents Will. The family is very well known for its many family businesses and therefore, the family is very wealthy. Mr and Mrs Bowen are the owners of a pub and have a son and a daughter. At the beginning of the film you get the backstory of the family and you find out that there was a fire which meant that their house burnt down and the five children of the wealthy parents were left orphaned and moved to live separately. Mrs Bowen hadnt' seen her four siblings since the day of the fire which was nearly 15 years ago although she knew that they were all very successful and most of them lived abroad. In the middle of the film Sirius; who was the second oldest brother found out that their parents did have a will and it it had to be signed by all of the children for them to get the share of the inheritance. He however, didn't know where in the world his four siblings were so he thought he would never be able to complete it. The first sibling he found was Charles when he was staying in a hotel in New York and requested to see the manager. He found his youngest Sister Mary on a plane over to England as she was the pilot. The next person he managed to find was George who was his oldest brother, Siris and George were inseparable when they were younger but haven't spoken for 15 years. He found his brother when he was in an expensive restaurant in London where George was food testing for his new restaurant. The last sibling Sirius needed to find was Chloe but he had no clue where to look as he knew that she didn't want to work in any big fancy company and have loads of money. At the end of the film his car broke down whilst driving in a town and he had to stop to ask someone if they had a spare tire. He managed to find himself a little pub that he would wait in. He sat down at a table and ordered a beer from the man at the bar but when he settled down he was startled to see the face of the lady working at the bar. His younger sister Chloe. He dropped his beer and Chloe ran to see him.
The opening scene will start in a dim lit pub. A mid shot of people at the bar and people sitting round table. There are diegetic sounds of people talking and the sound of music playing on a radio. To show it is an opening title sequence there will be a few close up shots of items that will have the titles edited on top. The first close up shot is of the radio playing the music, the second one is the Christmas card on top of the mantle piece over the fire, one is on the bottom of the glass when someone lifts it up to drink from it and the last one is on a close up shot of a top secret file on one of the desks. The camera then pans upwards from the table and onto a man who is in a suit drinking a beer. The shot then cuts back to a mid shot of the bar at the pub. The scene seems to have nothing going wrong until a non-diegetic sound effect of a glass smashing is used and the shot pans round to face a man in a suit holding his hand out as he had just dropped the glass and he had a sunrises look on his face.
