Treatment: Ensuring our sequence look like a Film Opening

The project is to create an opening sequence for a film, not a film itself. As such is it essential that the sequence is made in a way that allows an entire story to be put on the back of it. There needs to be some ambiguity, so that the audience are left with questions that will be answered later on in the film

Since it is generally the opening scene that sets the scene and first introduces the characters, we will use establishing shots to give the audience a sense of where the scene is set, as well as who is the main focus of the film.

To further identify Alex and Jess as the main characters, we will use a mixture of techniques i.e. cross-cutting. 

We intend to use slow pans also to show the interests of the character. The dialogue will be brief and only give a small amount of insight to the audience, leaving them with certain questions unanswered.

We looked at many different types of film openings, including: 
-One Day
-Silver Linings Playbook
-Now is Good
