During class, we were asked to brainstorm potential ideas about what we could produce as an opening sequence for our film project. We had to take in to consideration that the sequence could only be around 2:30 minutes with a specific film genre in mind that we could generate ideas from. Our group decided to each gather thoughts, inforamtion and inspirations from a specific type of genre it will be, characters we want to use and types of films that has been similarly made. The genres we chose to mind map were: Drama/Romance, Comedy, Crime and Horror/Thriller. Together we produced themes that are associated with that genre. After that, with each genre we tried to come up with a likely storyline, still thinking about the timing, good actors, location, our audience and if the plot could continue after we had cut our own scene. After much deliberation, we decided to go for the theme of Horror/Thriller, as the concepts we brought out were more intriging and fun. Once we had told our teacher of our opening sequence plot, we were told it would far too long and it would actually be about 5 minutes. So, we decided to to change the whole story plot, which we thought in the end made it more dramatic and it stuck to the theme much better. Below is our brainstorm diagram for our initial ideas and our initial ideas of possible scenarios:
