1st idea
My first idea was for a zombie horror film. I thought of starting off the opening by panning round a couple of empty deserted places that look like they have been abandoned. I will get some other shots maybe some ariel shots over abandoned roads over turned bins and rubbish littered across the streets. I will get sound clips of car alarms, gun shots and screaming towards the end to create tension. At the end of the opening sequence I would have a close-up shot of the side of a wall and then hand zombie hand clutching onto the side of the wall and the music would all build up to this point. Then the title would flash onto the screen and would start to drip down the screen like its made of blood. For the sound I would have non-diegetic sound through it all with just random sirens going off and maybe some background music running through the whole piece.
2nd idea
My second idea was for a superhero movie opening. This would consist of close-ups of someone getting changed into there school uniform and the shots wouldn't show there face just other body parts and this would make the viewer think who this character is. At the end of the opening there would be one shot of there face reveling who they are. Throughout the whole opening there would be titles appearing on the screen maybe be wiped on or dissolving onto the screen. There would also be non-diegetic voiceover throughout the whole opening talking about just being an ordinary student and wanting to be more and at the end of the opening when the camera shows the characters face the non-diegetic voiceover would turn in to diegetic voiceover and you would see them talking to the camera at the end. Then as the door shuts the title slams onto the screen just as the door slams.
The final idea
For my main task I have decided to follow my first idea and make a zombie horror movie this will include lots of different camera angles of empty streets and deserted places. Then I will raise the tension with non-diegetic and then i'll flash a zombie at the end to release the tension. I took inspiration from the opening clip of Dawn of the Dead and also 28 Days Later which are both very good at building tension and keep the audience at the edge of there seat.
