Film Opening Idea 1

Idea 1 - Outside

Genre: Science-Fiction

Synopsis

A young (12/13 year old) boy, is on the search for discovery of extra-terrestrial life on the outside of Earth. The opening would begin with the boy leaving his last lesson of school for the week, rushing out to meet his 2 friends, to plan their night universe watching. One friend will be just as eager as the main boy, however the other friend is less excited to spend his Friday night, the same as every Friday night, looking pointlessly up at the stars. However this specific night will turn out to be different, after hours of watching through their telescope, with their alien spotting devices, on the top of a large hill, they spot something peculiar right at the very end of the film opening.

Possible Locations

- A small classroom in school (Ilkley Grammar) 

- The school entrance (Ilkley Grammar)

- Bedroom

- Ilkley Moore 

Strengths

I have very easy access to the locations (the moor, school etc.) I would wish to shoot in, this makes this film opening quite achievable. I also think that this film opening would be enjoyable to produce and also be involved in as an actor, as it is an interesting and contains unusual happenings. 

Difficulties

It would however be difficult to find actors to play the role of the boys as they are of an age group that may not want to take part. It would also be difficult to clearly bring across to the audience that the boys are searching for extra-terrestrial life, I would have to find props that could be used.
