Initial Ideas.

When we started looking into what kind of film opening we wanted we considered a variety of options and played around with a few ideas. One initial idea was to do a musical, but when thinking and researching we realised how hard that this type of genre would be to do, for example we would have needed to find enough volunteers to take part, as musicals usually have a high number of people and also we would have required a good choreographer for it to work for us, thus ruling this idea out. Another idea we had was to do a comedy, but again we thought this wouldn't demonstrate our skills well enough so we chose not to follow up on this idea.

In the end we all agreed on the genre of drama, this is because we could show what we could do when it comes to filming and editing. You can also tell that a film is initially a drama in the opening as they don't tend to have lots of special effects and editing. Doing a drama opening isn't as hard to do compared to other genres, e.g. comedies and musicals where the openings don’t actually show their genre till quite a bit into the film. Everyone being happy we went on to plan and film our opening.
