Film Opening Idea 2

Idea 2 - The Move

Genre: Psychological Thriller 

Synopsis

A teenage girl, who's parents have recently died, must travel away from her home town, leaving her friends and all that is familiar behind, to be with her grandparents in the countryside. The Film opening will visually show the both the journey to the countryside, and the journey of her mind, back to her parents death. Throughout the journey there will be scenic routes that will have relaxing connotations that will contrast with traumatic flashback of her parents death.

Possible Locations

- Train 

- Farm/Farmhouse

- Scenic Country roads

Strengths

The strengths of this idea would be that the idea and the plot is relatively simple, therefore attention can be brought to locations and also to shot types. This film opening will be very aesthetically focused. Another strength is that I already have both an actor in mind, and also a singer to record a relevant backing track.

Difficulties

I think the most difficult part of this film opening, to do successfully, would be realistic flashbacks, explaining her parents death. They would have to be clear to the audience that that is what they are, and help them to understand why this girl is making a journey, and where too.
