Finalised Idea

Our final idea sticks to our original thoughts of doing a drug related teen film opening where the credits are embellished into the props used such as the drugs, or a piece of writing on a packet etc, inspired by the opening credits for Napoleon Dynamite.
After pitching our idea to the class, it was suggested that we turn our genre into slight comedy as the Napoleon Dynamite influence on the credits offers itself towards this. However after discussing before the next lesson, we all agreed that we still wanted the genre to be drama so went with the idea of a general slightly comedic drama.

Locations - Park, Alleyway, Bedroom

We plan to recce all of these places to find the best area to film. For example, we want the bedroom to be messy as a stereotypical teen may have it, especially one that is involved in the world of drugs. However, we realised that we can't keep the room too dark as the comedic genre will be a lot less obvious, and the credits shown may be limited due to lighting.














Initial ideas for a park would be Tonbridge Park;
  • Easy to access - an allowance to film would be necessary 
  • Has benches and wide spaces
  • Looks like a park
  • Would give natural diegetic ambient sound
Music/Sound - soundbridge - black to park - diegetic
                       - ambient sound - park - diegetic
                       - child screams comically - diegetic
                       - credit music starts playing - continue to end - non diegetic

Shots - long shot of protagonist on a park bench
          - zoom into eye
          - pan around bedroom - zooming into packets, drugs, dirty room etc with credits on
       
Colour Palette - light - comedic contrast to drugs

Through the use of young actors - contrast of harsh world of drugs and young children playing
                                                                                                 - child runs past screaming
                                                                                                 - actor sits on bench - no reaction
