In class today, Farjad and I came up with a rough draft idea for our film opening. Right now I think that there should be somethings that could be changed, but I think that this is a good basis for the plot of the film opening we’re producing.
Ok so, the opening starts out with an athlete practicing running on a track. It shows how hard he is working with his heavy breathing and sweat pouring down his face. Then, as he is running, he gets injured and falls down. A shot of the athlete riding in a car is shown, and now the audience realizes that the sequence of the athlete practicing and getting injured was just a flashback. While in the car, the radio is playing a sports channel and the broadcasters are discussing how a star athlete just recently has gotten a horrible injury, however the broadcasters never say who the athlete was. The radio continues to play until the car pulls up to the driveway and the car turns off. Then, the protagonist walks into his house goes to his room to drop off his backpack. As he walks through his room, the audience can clearly see many awards and trophies for track and field around the room. The protagonist goes to watch TV and he turns it to a sports channel and the hosts are talking about the same thing the radio broadcasters were talking about, like how good the athlete was and how the odds are against him with the injury. However, on the TV it is revealed that the main protagonist is the athlete that was talked about on the radio and TV as a picture of the protagonist is shown on screen. After its is revealed that the protagonist is the injured star athlete, the film opening ends.
Overall, there could be some things that could be changed and I also think that we might not be able to fit all of this into the two minute time frame, so we may have to cut some stuff out. Farman and I are going to see if we can revise our idea for the opening a bit.
