We looked at a couple of films such as Sliding Doors to get us an insight into the idea of making different decisions and how it affects our lives.
Eventually, we have come up with a definite idea for our film. The plot follows the life of a young woman, stuck in a dead-end job, and how different decisions takes her to completely different destinations in life.
Our 3 minute (approximately) film opening will start with:
- A dream sequence: She's dreaming that she's in Oxford Street shopping at her heart's expense. There will be shots of her going into different high-end boutiques, browsing clothes, and shots of her handing her credit card to the cashier. At one shot, the credit card gets rejected and her phone starts ringing in the dream. The cashier's voice then echoes "Madam, your phone is ringing" over and over again.
- It then snaps to reality as her phone is ringing in "real-time" and her supervisor calls, "you're late for work, you know today's an important day. Get here now" She begins to protest, and her supervisor says "no excuses" and then hangs up. She looks at the time, groans and then gets up. This is when the opening credits start playing.
- There are different shots of her getting ready, going through her daily routine. These are quick shots, she checks herself in the mirror, grabs an apple, gets her keys. This rewinds back to her getting the apple and switches to a split screen, showing two alternative lives. When she leaves her home, each alternative life takes a separate path. Switches to title of movie and a brief journey to work. One alternative decides to go in a cafe to get some coffee. The other goes straight to work.
We might have to fiddle with the ending a little, and decide on sound.
That's all for today's posting!
