My New & Final Idea

We see the main character, Lisa walking. We the viewers are uncertain of where she is going. Lisa constantly keeps looking at piece of paper which has the address of her destination. She looks around at the houses. The viewers are able to see that she is not familiar with the area she's in.

We then see her arrive at her destination, which is a house. She approaches the house and knocks the door several times. No one responds to the knocking and just as she is about to turn around and go back, someone opens the door. We the viewers dont see who it is but Lisa does.

Changes

Due to the lack of actors willing to participate, I have had to change my opening sequence.

BBFC

1.What is the BBFC?
The British Board of Film Classifications is an independent, non-governmental organisation which is responsible for the classifications in films, videos, games and DVDs. The BBFC was set up in 1912 by the film industry as an independent body to bring a degree of uniformity to the classification of film nationality. In 1984 Parliament passed the Video Recordings Act. This act stated that, subject to certain exemptions, video recordings offered for sale or hire commercially in the UK must be classified by an authority designated by the Secretary of State. The BBFC is a not for profit organisation, and its fees are adjusted only as required to cover its costs. Its income is derived solely from the fees it charges for its services, calculated by measuring the running time of films or DVDs submitted for classification.

Character Analysis

I have not been able to find actors for my two minute sequence. Therefore, I have had to think of actors who represent the kind of actor I'm looking for, for my two minute opening scene.



John Boyega

John Boyega is a young british-nigerian actor who is known for his roles in Attack the Block and My Murder.
My Murder was a short drama which was based on a real story of a boy (Shakilus Townsend)  who was led to his death by a girl.
For my two minute opening scene I would like the main character to have all the characteristics that John Boyega had when playing Shakilus Townsend.





Malcolm Kamulete

Malcolm Kamulete is a young british actor and is known for his role as Ra'nele in Top Boy.

My Final Idea

My Film Idea

Its around 8:00 am on a Wednesday morning. We see the main character Ryan Wilson walking through an estate with a pint of milk and bread in his hand. He is wearing tracksuit botttoms, a hoodie and trainers and is listening to music through his headphones. He then goes up a flight of stairs and as he is about to approach his front door, a man comes out the door whilst pulling up his pants and doing his zip up. Viewers should sense the tension at this moment through the use of a slow motion shot, which will occur when they walk past each other, starring at one another. Ryan then enters the flat. He lives in a two bedroom flat. The flat is untidy and crowded with unnecessary things. Ryan then goes to wake up his younger brother, Rico, who is running late for school. They converse about them not having enough money for gas, which means there is no hot water for Rico to bath. Rico gets dressed brushes his teeth and washes his face with cold water. Whilst Rico gets ready for school, Ryan is making toast for the both of them. We then see them converse more about there not being enough time to sit and eat and Ryan forces Rico to eat his toast whilst walking to school. Ryan then goes to his mother's room and we see her fast asleep with barely anything on. Ryan gently takes a ten pound note out her hand and leaves with his little brother for school. Whilst walking Ryan explains to Rico why he is taking him to school. Ryan fears that Rico wont actually go to school. We then see a distant shot of them walking through the estate. Then the opening credits will appear.
