Final Production Idea Step 5

Today Patrycja and I discussed the idea and realised it didn't make much sense, so we met with a colleague and had a discussion about the opening sequence.

I wrote a brief outline of our improved ideas during the discussion, here's what we came up with:

I have elaborated on the notes from above:
Should keep the shots of London - very good for establishing location...

• Need to intrigue audience

Could suggest that ghosts are everywhere

• Would have to have takes of same shot - different people/crowd - edit and overlap both, one as 'normal people' and one representing ghosts
• Could edit in questions ' what is real? who is real? what is not real? do you think you know who is around you?' - do not want to make like a trailer - possibly discard idea after next meeting
• Would create, through editing, a blurring of real people and ghosts...

Another shot, (same shot done in different time periods or different people around), one with normal crowd then one with female ghost - overlap and fade one clip onto another ghost can fade in and out
This raises questions for the audience - who is she? why is she here? why is she important? Which keeps audience engaged and thinking.

Cut to EST LS of college/school, in shot two guys together, MS holding a tripod and camera, TS diagetic dialogue "we need to film the different types of architecture of London", Reverse TS "Quick lets go oxford street before the others!" - they have been given an assignment to film architecture of london and need to finish filming for the following day. The audience are introduced to the main characters and are following their journey through this

Cut to shots of what they have filmed - in some shots ghost is captured reappearing and disappearing (filming - keep exact same shot with different crowds, editing - overlap), audience realise there is a connection between this Ghost and the boys - intrigued with what connection is - want to watch more.

Thanks for reading, feedback is appreciated :)
