Finished Film Opening

Treatment: Opening - how we will make it look like an opening sequence

We will make sure our opening sequence looks like an opening sequence:
- By integrating titles
- Voiceover: Christopher is introducing himself (this would not happen at any other point since he is the protagonist)
- Montage: music and voiceover playing over shots of his morning routine and journey across London


TITLES

- Simple, black - won't distract from what's happening on screen
- Start to appear after Christopher has left his house. Voiceover stops, music gets louder
- First titles are the institutions (conventional): in our case, the first titles will be:
THE WORKS PRESENTS
A FILM BY AB PRODUCTIONS
IN ASSOCIATION WITH FOX SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES
Followed by actors, and lastly by the director etc.


Opening inspiration: "Struck By Lightning"
- Starts with music: light-hearted, fairly upbeat despite the character's death
- Voiceover begins over music
- Titles: small, simple font, NOT DISTRACTING, they just appear - no excessive animation
