Synopsis Planning

Film Opening Sequence

Fonts

We had a range of fonts to chose from for our titles. We used the fonts supplied on Microsoft Word and used the website www.dafont.com which gave us a wide range of fonts to chose from. We originally were going to use  cartoon-y font like the first one in the picture but we thought that this would not reflect the genre right which is key in the opening of the film. In the end we chose the last font on the picture because it is serious and this reflects the genre of the film well.

Script


This is the script for the opening sequence to our film. We chose the main section of the speech to be long and to be narrative so that it is similar to other films of this genre like the fault in our stars. The dialogue is very long so that it can we played over 3 flashbacks of Sophia's past and it is personal to Sophia.

Story Board

Recce Shots

 
 
 
These are two photos of Southend - one on the pier and one on the beach. We will be using both of these locations in Southend in the opening scene.
 
 
 
These two photos are of Beth's dining room which we will use to film the birthday flash back in the opening scene. In this location we will film the match on action shots and will we will film from different angles to explore reveal most of the location.
 

 
These two photos are of my dining room which is were we will film the present day shots in our opening scene which is the majority of the opening scene. We will be filming from different angles so most of the location is revealed.

    This is a list of all the shots our group will use when we film The Wish List.
