Ideas Development.

Initial ideas Initial Ideas 1 An unnamed character is revealed to the camera by utilising an extreme close up. His eyes are closed for a moment and then he opens them, theyre a bright shade of white that contrast against his complexion. A Rapid cut to black is closely followed by a shot of the same character standing aloft of a sizeable building staring into the street below. He exchanges a line of dialogue narrating the backstory of the scene with his back facing the camera still on the ledge. He then teleports revealing his mysterious power to the audience. He reappears in the street below with the camera on the same shot. The camera rapidly cuts to black once more. The camera reveals a long stretch of road and the character proceeds to sprint down the road. Lots of alternating shots reveal the character teleporting rapidly down the road whilst sprinting in the breaks before. The camera darts forward and shows a suited figure with black sunglasses wielding a briefcase. The first character violently dumb tackles the person in the suit and when they smash the floor they teleport in a swirling mist. The camera focuses on the point where the two characters have vanished for several seconds. The camera then goes to a mid-shot where the first character with the unique eyes reappears in the teleporting fashion used in the whole of the opening sequence. He is now holding the briefcase previously wielded by the character in the suit, he brushes his shoulder and then ambles past the camera where the camera rapidly cuts to black. Initial ideas 2 A man is seated on a couch tightly gripping his right hand. The hand is covered in visible scars and reveals a lot of flesh has been stripped from it. Closer inspection reveals that another layer of dark grey skin is proceeding to jut out of his normal flesh. The man squints in pain and grips it once more. The hand suddenly convulses and shows a black swirling colour coming out of his hand. The man is revealed to be in stained work attire that looks like has been in a conflict before he was introduced to the scene. The man, still gripping onto his hand gets up slowly and staggers over to the translucent double window of the balcony of his penthouse. After struggling to open the door he slowly walks over to the edge of the building. With his hair and tattered clothes blowing in the wind he says one line of dialogue Why me? before leaning forward and plummeting off the building. The scene rapidly cuts to black. Initial ideas 3 A man is hurriedly walking down a city street at night. He looks nervous and is exchanging anxious glances at the several characters that walk past him. He is in a smart business attire but is hunched over with his hands in his pockets as he paces down the road with big steps so he is covering more ground. He approaches an alley way and darts right proceeding into it. Several characters maybe 2 or 3 notice that he is walking down the alleyway. Theyre

wearing hooded clothing and look like denizens of an urban area. One of them nudges the others and they proceed to amble in the direction of the first character that, also walking down the alley. The man in the business attire rapidly turns around and creates a scared facial expression. The dogma of the scene suggests that the three hooded characters are intending to rob or hurt the character in the suit. The scene just reveals the entrance of the alley in an angle where the characters who entered cannot be scene. A green flash which emits a strange noise that is not of this world is scene protruding out of the entrance, this lasts a second. The character in the suit is revealed to once again be hurriedly walking. He exits the alley once again looking around anxiously. The three characters who entered the alley are shown to be deceased with various wounds covering their body.

Final Idea Plot The plot of the Opening Sequence is centred on a protagonist that is not named at this early stage of the plot. The main character has the ability to teleport, which leaves behind a misty spiral of smoke after each teleportation. This is closely related to the Bamf style of teleportation. The plot begins with the main character revealing that he has an odd colouration to his eyes as they are of a white or black colour and are opaque, not revealing any pupils or an iris. The scene transitions and he is seen to be aloft a high structure overlooking a city landscape. He approaches the edge and clenches one of his fists. He slowly and with conviction utters the line This is the beginning, this is what Im destined to do. He then teleports onto the road he was observing below, leaving swirling smoke where he previously was. He then proceeds to rapidly sprint down the pavement, teleporting several times, several yards in front of him. The teleportations will be accompanied by several jumps also. Another character is revealed, he is wearing a full suit and a pair of sunglasses. He will proceed to walk slowly and wield a briefcase. The protagonist will teleport into view and violently tackle the character in the suit. They will both topple onto the floor with a crunch and instantly vanish as soon as they touch the floor. Once again leaving behind a swirling cloud of smoke behind them like the previous teleportations. The pavement will be visible for several more seconds. After this period the protagonist will reappear again by teleporting. He will be sporting a smirk and will then brush the shoulder of his attire and amble further down the road where the scene ends. Setting The Opening Scene will be set in an urban city location. The setting will have to be surrounded by several tall buildings and many structures. We will try and find a setting that is not densely populated or has no body that will interfere with the shots and the production of our product. Character 1 The protagonist of the Opening Sequence brings the Science Fiction elements into the equation considering the Genre of the product. He has the mysterious ability to teleport,

leaving behind a swirling mist of smoke every time he vanishes. He also has an opaque colouration to his eyes and they will either be black or white. He will be dressed in a casual attire with a distinct urban influence which makes sense since he is a denizen of the city. The audience are not told much of his backstory, barely anything in fact apart from the fact that he has a certain purpose to carry out the actions hes about to. This creates enigma and shrouds him in mystery which will engage the audience and give them a reason to carry on watching our Opening Sequence. Character 2 The second character of the Opening Sequence juxtaposes the protagonist in his attire; he is wearing a full suit. Nothing is revealed to the audience about this character apart from the fact that the briefcase he is wielding before it is stolen from him, is important. Any other information We will utilise several SFX in our Opening Sequence and physical props. These are seen in the contact lenses we will purchase for our actor to wear to emphasize the weird colouration of our protagonists eyes, other objects that will be used as props are fake blood and the brief case the second actor will wield. Special FX will be utilised with regard to the swirling mist left behind the frequent teleportation of our character. We will achieve this FX in the program Adobe after Effects in editing. The setting we will be in a structured urban city location. The soundtrack we will use will consist of action songs and instrumentals that will probably consist of a lot of orchestra and dramatic sound effects. We will use a sound effect that resembles the onomatopoeia word Bamf which will be utilised alongside the swirling mist effect to give the idea of teleportation and will help make the FX more believable and convincing. Audience Profile Age 15-21 Gender Male Socio Economic Group C-B Location City denizens in England, specifically London. Also American denizens of a city because they will understand the dialect due to them speaking English. Hopefully SFX will remind American viewers of many of the conventions of special effects used in their media.

My final idea targets my audience in several different ways. The first way is that it targets a 15-21 year old male audience by casting a young youthful male as the protagonist of the sequence. It targets an audience that likes Science fiction or action films by the conventions it utilises. My product will include conventions that will please a Science fiction or action fan; gore, action, supernatural powers including teleportation and other SFX which I know are prominent in Science fiction or action films. Other ways I will target my audience will be utilising conventions that are prominent in an Opening Sequence such as enigma to draw in audience and keep them entertained and engaged to continue watching until the end.
