After adding and discarding many ideas, we have decided what we want our film opening to be. I noticed that some of the ideas I wanted to include were just over-complicating it and they were not necessary for a good opening.
The main purpose of the opening will be to introduce the characters. The opening will sustain of teenagers who threw a party at their house while their parents were away. It will take place the morning after when they have to clean up the house so the parents won't notice when they get back. They also have to get everyone who is still there to go home.
The characters will be introduced in different ways. I plan on having props around the house that represent the characters. There will also be interactions between the characters that reveal character traits. These interactions will also foreshadow and hint at possible conflicts and events in the future. I want to introduce them without revealing too much information. This will keep it interesting and make the viewers want to know what is going to happen later.
Before, I wanted to include a conflict where the teen was supposed to be taking care of his little brother, but in the morning he's nowhere to be found. Introducing a major conflict like this would make the viewers focus more on the conflict, and the other elements wouldn't be expressed how I wanted. I decided to remove this idea because it would stray away from the main purpose of introducing the characters.
