As a group we are greatly influenced by British Urban Dramas. Films such as Kidulthood have played a key role towards allowing us to develop the idea of creating the opening sequence of a dramatic thriller. Dramas incorporate real life situations with surreal not so ordinary events. Kidulthood follows the life of teenagers over a course of weeks. The trials that we as an audience view once following the teenager’s allow us to empathise with the characters. Although we are only doing an opening sequence, we would like to emulate the intense emotions that are expressed in the opening scene of Kidulthood. The isolated scenes in which we see clues as to what different characters are doing are essential in building up suspense in our sequence. In order for the audience to have a brief idea of past events to help them work out the hidden elements of our film, we will show flashbacks of prior events. Flashbacks were used effectively in the infamous Forrest Gump as an alternate method to tell the tale of Forrest’s life up until the time that it is now.
Along with this, the movie Seven Pounds also begins at the ending, leaving the viewers to watch the movie and understand why Will Smith ends up as he does in the movie. Many movies use Pre Credit Sequences to grab the attention of the audience before boring them with the credentials of their movie, we will also use this. An example of a movie that uses this element is the movie Cube. We as the audience are immediately viewing the male as he travels around this strange warehouse, when he is sliced into cubical pieces, the name of the film Cube appears, and the viewer notices the connotations. We would like to end our pre credit sequence with our male actor standing in his prison uniform and soon after the title of the film, Love Lockdown, will appear and connotations will be able to be made.
