My Opening Sequence of a Film

There has been another change of plan. It is the same when it comes to describing the characters. Instead of the grabbing everything they can, they are looking for something specific. The audience do not get to find out what they are looking for. There is now no scene of them selling goods on a road.

There has been a change of plan. Claudia and I have now changed the genre of our film to comedy, crime, drama. The films that influence us the most are Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Trainspotting.

Our new idea is of two jokers robbing an empty house. Grabbing anything they can find. making jokes along the way. The two characters are complete opposites. One has no intelligence, the other is clever. They are putting all of the stolen objects into a broken, ripped rucksack. Once they have finished grabbing what they can the shot cuts straight into the in the street with a table in front of them. The table is covered with all of the stolen objects seen in the previous scene. There is no one looking to buy off them. While they are desperately trying to find buyers. There will be close up shot of he stolen objects While in the house and on the table.



The genre of our 2 Minute film is British gangster drama. The films that influence us are This is England, Scarface and Green Street.

I have a few ideas on what to film for my 2 minute film. I am hoping to film a 'hoodie' or skinhead giving his 'girl' a kiss and telling her he will 'see her later'. Then there is a close up of him clenching his fist. He climbs over a fence, walks into a house and starts looking for valuables to steal. At this point the camera gives off the affect that there is a victim in the house hiding from him while at the same time following him. He then comes accross somebody in the house and with a instant reaction screams 'oi! give me all your money now!' Then next thing you hear are police sirens. That is where it ends and that is how i would like my 2 mintue film to turn out like. I am also hoping to use music and sound effects.
I am hoping to film the footage within the next few weeks to get it out of the way. Then edit it at a later date.
I will be updating my blog and most importantly this post.
