Film Opening Ideas
Idea 1
Genre: Thriller/Crime
Content: Begins with a police briefing of a missing girls case. As it develops it flashbacks to the night that the girl goes missing through a CCTV camera, her standing on a busy road, all dolled up, looking for business. She is a prostitute. Also a close up on all the police officers faces and then stop on one looking oddly suspicious.
Idea 2
Genre: Thriller
Content: A family in a park with the dad filming his young daughter or son running around, it will zoom into a birthmark or something that would identify them forever. Then it would switch to a different view of the child, maybe from behind a tree or something not visible to make it suspicious and then switches to filming his wife smiling and laughing, switches back to their child, which is no longer there. They begin running, shouting, with the camera still on even though they’re unaware. The panic fades to the background and then a new scene with a teenage girl tied up in a cellar. It zooms into the same feature that was at the beginning.
How did we decide on which idea to choose?
We sat down as a group and we discussed about how we would go about the filming, and after considering all factors we decided to go for idea two as although some of the filming is outside, if the weather was so bad we could film in a shopping centre or another indoor facility and then the other part of the opening is filmed in the cellar. However, if we was to choose the other idea we'd always be relying on how the weather is as the girl on a street at night is a crucial part of the idea.

How are you going to decide what idea to use? Have you asked an audience what idea they prefer? Do surveys and also ask friends on social networking sites about their thoughts.
