This is the opening that we have made so far. We all agree that it is quite good and has some potential; however, we seem to have mutual feelings about our film opening so far. It looks more like a trailer and not a film opening. Though we find it easy to explain the storyline, there is no clear narrative shown by our video.
We think that it is our music choice which makes it seem like a trailer. It builds up the tension to the last point, as the music drops at the end. This is usually used in trailers, accompanied by ‘COMING OUT SOON’ at the end.
However, it is not only the music, but the lack of dialogue. Throughout our video there is not a lot of diegetic sounds and only the music is heard.
We have all agreed to add an extra scene to the end with dialogue.
School bell rings
Noisy playground
Chloe: Oh my GOD! I just had the weirdest dream ever, last night.
Afsara: Never mind that, have you seen this morning’s paper.
Throughout this scene, more light is shone onto our narrative. Through this we can see that the it was all happening in her dream, “weirdest dream”, however we find out that it was happening in real life as well.
