Storyline

A rough outline of our film opening...

1. Non-diagetic music plays overlaid while our film production companies appear. (undecided at this point)
2. Fade up from black showing a moving image of two small children (aged from 4-6) holding hands dressed in raincoats and wellington boots jumping and splashing in puddles. This is set in park preferably on a path. The grain of the film should be slightly aged to imply the idea that this image has been 'filmed' and is not necessarily part of the film itself. If possible we would like to include a cross in the middle of the screen again implying the idea that someone is holding the camera.
3. The shot will then freeze for a maximum of one second.
4. Straight cut to another slightly aged moving image of a man walking a large dog then to an embrace with the dig jumping up to him. (again this shot will include the central cross and the aged effect)
5. The shot will then freeze for a maximum of one second.
6. Straight cut to a moving image of a young (possibly teen) couple in our setting of Brighton both with ice creams joking around when one sticks a finger in the age cream and onto another ones nose.
7. The shot will then freeze for a maximum of one second.
8. This image will then fade into a photograph of the still image. The camera will then pan out to reveal this photo along with many others scattered on the floor of a room alongside drawings, paints, pencils, camera lenses and other such materials. These things should all be surrounding a young girl (between the age of 17-20) who will be sitting crossed legged perhaps sketching.
9. The girl will then pick up an organiser and come to the current date
10. Cut to a zoomed in shot of the date where in a red and circled it says something along the lines of 'Meet on pier 3.00pm
11. Cut to a close up of the girls face looking shocked then pans round to see clock showing 2.58
12. Cut to close up of the girl cursing.
13. At this point the music speeds up where the camera shows lots of shots of the girl scrambling around the room grabbing various things such as a camera, some paper, her organiser etc
14. Cut to the camera being shown inside a wardrobe to show the girl opening it and grabbing a jacket.
15. Cut to the girl running down the stairs with different shots from outside the front door, to the bottom of the street tracking the girl running down suburban streets then along the beach.
16. finally the girl reaches the pier. cut to a shot showing the girls watch showing 3.05 then to a shot of the girl stomping her foot cursing
17. cut to a shot showing a boy leaning against the edge of the pier watching her
18. the girl looks embarrassed then to a shot of her waling to the edge lifting up her camera
19. final shot of an extreme close up of her camera filling the frame
20. The titles will then appear in the round lens of the camera.

This is only a rough outline as we are constantly developing new ideas!
