Waaaaasupppppppppp!!!
My partner and I have been talking back and forth on what we want to do for our opening but we have decided to first write out an outline of what we believe should be the sequence of our opening scene so here's mine (I tried making it like a movie script so hopefully you guys like it):
Establishing shot of a house in the suburbs:
Medium shot of a family having dinner:
- Silent dinner- mom, dad, son
- Friend is in the window and is signaling his kid having dinner to leave secretly- kid does everything suddenly and clumsy
- Kid asks to be excused to sleep and rushes upstairs- feet makes a lot of sounds as he rushes
Upstairs:
- Opens window- Asks friend what’s up
- Friend responds- “let’s sneak out”
- Close up low angle- he hesitates and then starts locking his door setting up a dummy to sneak out
Dinner table:
- Parents continue to eat- Parents refuse to act on all the noise upstairs and seem tired of being grown up (representation of lazy parent stereotype)
Upstairs:
- kid starts to get ready to jump down- kid looks scared and is very nervous and him and his friend yell back and forth.
SWITCH BACK AND FORTH WITH KIDS YELLING AND PARENTS STILL FOCUSING ON IGNORING EVERYTHING
- 5th: kid finally jumps (COOL MUSIC YET TO BE FOUND STARTS PLAYING LOW)- (still unsure about showing a kid jumping or not we don't want any injuries).
Outside front lawn:
- Kids grab their bikes- they seem filled with adrenaline and continue to scream and run away.
- switches- to parents watching their kid through the window leave as they pour more wine .
- mom- asks “Should we do something?” Dad replies with “He still sleeps with his teddy bear, mom nods like ‘Yeah he’s right he needs this’.
- Shot of house in the back as kids bike away- music gets louder.
Symmetrical shot of the street:
- kids are biking- in the middle of the street and music gets louder and as the turn left camera stays on the same shot and tittle pops up
TITTLE STILL TO BE ANNOUNCED!!!!
Well this is an outline of what I would like the opening scene to Look like. But of course there are some obstacles with this script I will address in my next blog posting.
