Initial Idea

Inspirational Films:

• Persuit of happyness - shots of Will Smith walking through streets like we will have have our character doing
• Forest Gump - sitting on a bench similar to what we aim to do in our opening sequence

Our Idea

Our initial idea is to have an opening shot of a 17 year old teenage boy holding and playing a guitar. This is a close up shot of the guitar where the audience can just see the his fingers strumming. The camera zooms into the hole of the guitar and the screen goes black. Then we jump to the show the guy's journey from his house to the the park. The opening sequence finishes by the screen going dark and then the shot coming back out of the guitar and zooming out shot by shot showing him sitting on a bench, in the middle of a park during the day.
