Film Ideas.

For our coursework we have to make an opening to a film from any genre lasting 2 mins.

Today we spent most of the lesson, the other day, talking and brainstorming about the film openings we are going to make. I, however hadn't given it much thought up until now. I had a very pecific idea of how i wanted my film opening to 'look' and how i wanted to make the audience 'feel' but so far i was struggling to get that into a film plot with story and characters. I needed some real imagination brain wave! I started to think of what audience i wanted to aim this at and i kept thinking teens, i think i can work best with that auidence as i am one! and i know what i like to go and watch in the cinema. As i continued to think of the genre etc i thought of a book i loved and when Miss said we could base our opening scene on a book or play i was thrilled! It didn't quite fit the 'picture' i had in mind, but it's a great story and i think i can do a great job with it! So my film was chosen. I was going to base it on the book 'Fallen Star' by Joan O'Neill and now i can't wait to get started!!
