Our Outline pt. 1
One big issue we have been facing is the sequence in which the scenes in our film opening will play out. We both have done so much research along with a lot of brainstorming and we have picked up so many things we want to include (maybe a little too many!). After finally setting on the official background and history for our main characters, we developed so many side stories and found so many different cool things we could incorporate and discuss within our film opening. However, there is a 2-minute time limit and we cannot afford to get carried away. So, we sat down and decided to plan out how our film opening will play out scene by scene. These are more in-depth descriptions of the first 3 scenes and their purpose because they are some of the more important scenes in our opening:
When the film opening begins, we want our first shot to be a medium of shot of Daniela walking down the city streets. We want it to be from her point of view so we would film her from the back as she walks forward. However, we also wanted to introduce the city they are in. So, we decided on making it like a vertical panoramic shot that goes from the buildings and skylines down to Daniela as she strolls.
The next scene will crosscut Michael walking back home. This shot can be a medium shot but that is still up for debate, honestly. This scene will introduce Michael and his "lifestyle". We want the audience to know he is popular and almost "top of the food chain" at school. We want it to be noted that he has a lot of friends and has a lot of girls interested in him. Almost like the typical "average jock".
