As a group, we have all decided what our story line should be for our chick flick film opening. We are going to be filming the beginning half of the opening in a modern apartment which re-creates an office environment, which is our intention. We have been allocated two hours to film our opening and we start on Sunday. This part of the opening will be the intern walking into the office and then having her boss enter and demand her coffee.
The introduction of the opening will be the protagonist (the intern) walking through the door, down the corridor and to the main office. We intend to film using a match on action angle when the intern is coming through the door and tracking when she is walking down the corridor. Throughout this half of the opening we hope to use cut aways and close ups of the props around the room e.g. magazines, laptop, clothes rail etc. In the background of the shot , we would like someone organising the clothes on the clothes rail to make it verisimilitude and give the 'office' a busy atmosphere.
Once the intern sits down at the desk we will film using a mid-shot of her filing through the magazines on the table and stumbling across a letter with 'confidential' stamped on the envelope. We will then do an over the shoulder shot so we can see her opening the letter, in which the viewer can read 'Court Summons'. We will then quickly cut to a close up of her face which will show a look of shock and confusion of her face. As she goes to read more of the letter, we will hear her boss shout 'Samantha' in the background. The camera will cut quickly back to a mid shot where we see the intern struggling to stuff the letter back in the envelope before her boss appears in the office. The camera will change to a wide shot which will show the room and both the intern and boss walking into the office. As the boss walks in she will demand 'where is my coffee?' and slam the magazines she is holding onto the desk, after this has been said a close up of the intern's face will show the realisation that she forgot to get her boss' coffee.
The second part of the opening will be a wide shot of a busy street where we see Samantha running into shot and into a coffee shop. The camera will stay in the same position until we see her run out of the shop and out of shot carrying a cup of coffee.
