Ideas for First 2 minutes

Storyboard –

·         A few main credits before any action; no names of actors/actresses though

·         Instant extreme close up of main actor’s eyes (silence)

·         Type of shot changes to a POV shot with the focus being on a picture frame with a young boy and girl as the picture (silence)

·         Cut to a canted angle, close up shot of the daily newspaper with a headline which reads along the lines of; Shock Suicide, then a slightly distinct picture of the suicide victim (silence)

·         Switching back to the POV shot and a TV screen with a news reporter announcing the suicide (diegetic sound of reporter speaking but faint)

·         Closing in on the TV screen with the sound becoming louder and the awareness of fans behind the reporter placing flowers and banners outside a house

·         Mid shot of main actor sat on a sofa still looking down at the frame in his hands

·         Fade into the title sequence

·         Change of scenery; graffiti walls, upbeat music

·          Establishing and long distance shot of a boy gradually walking towards the camera; one closer his name appears

·         Cut to another actor opening the door to the one previously seen; his name then appears

·         Group shot of 3 boys in a living room with instruments

·         Last shot of the actress at the living room door saying something along the lines of ‘hey boys, need tea or a band member?’
