Our first planning ideas;

We started to plan out 2 minute opening after we finished our preliminary task; we first sat down as a group and we all verbally gave our thoughts and ideas which we wanted to base our 2 minute opening on we then all wrote a quick 2 minute synopsis of what we expect our ideas to plan out like.

My 2 minute opening idea; my first idea was to have a young girl who was seen to be very run down and beaten up which is shown through bruises and run down clothes with mud and rips all over it; this will help to show it is a thriller and can add suspension early on; this young girl will be shown in a dark room and be seen to be very scared and as if she’s in danger from something. Then this scene will cut into a police interview room where the young girl will be shown to be sitting with an interviewer sat opposite her (interview shown very concerned). Throughout the two minutes clip it will cut between flashbacks of her in a dark tunnel/prison and her being interviewed in an office space. This will be shown through her having questions asked which jog her memory as to what has happened to her; although she will never remember a full detailed recount of what happened. See then sees a male figure who she believes is the person who has caused this upon her but no one else can see him.

Tia’s 2 minute opening idea; the opening of the film will be set in a small town in America where a young girl named Amelia goes to see a psychic to hear about her future after her parents died from being buried alive.  The psychic tells her that she needs to find 5 different people in order to break the curse which killed her parents and led them to being buried alive. Throughout the meeting with the psychic, there are a couple of flashbacks to represent her trauma of her parents dying e.g. the funeral, however the flashbacks will most show a link between the rest of the film and the opening 2 minutes which are being shown. This opening will mostly show the meeting with the physic so this will set the plot for the rest of the film.

Rhia’s 2 minute opening ideas; while investigating the death of a local bartender, Josh, a bold & curious nurse called Laura Wilkinson uncovers a supernaturally-cursed book from thousands of years ago in her basement linked to the recent murder. As soon as she begins to read the book, she finds out she only has 30 days to live. Laura insists on the help from her friend Jenna Parish, and while Jenna examines the book for any clues on the past, Laura is busy finding trails leading to his death. Will Laura and Jenna be able to break the curse, before its Laura’s time to go?  This opening will set the scene for the rest of the film so that the rest of the film is based upon the 30 days which Laura has to live.



Once we had decided all of the ideas which the group has put forward we decided to go for the my idea as we felt that it would be the easiest to complete will our budget and settings which were available for us this is very basic and for my idea there wasn’t a need for anything extra ordinary and we had an empty prison available to us due to my family connections. We therefore felt that my idea would be the easiest to asses and for it to be completed up to a high standard.
