The story we will be filming is called Stockholm Syndrome;

A criminal steals a large amount of diamonds from a jewelry store, as he runs from the police he looks for a place to hide out until they stop searching for him. He comes across a house in the woods hidden that belongs to a girl aged 22. He threatens her and forces her to let him hide out in his house, when she agrees to this he makes sure all the windows are bordered up and the doors double locked. He can not leave the house and nether can she because he does not know if she can trust her not to run too the police or not. For days they do not speak but one day she makes conversation with the rough looking criminal, he then reveals his past to her filled with strife and issues she begins to feel sorrow for him and    wishes to help him build a normal life but this is difficult to do because he has committed a large amount of crimes.

The genre of this film will be a romantic drama

Opening Sequence Ideas

Opening sequence ideasWhen deciding ideas with my group to create Romantic Drama we agreed that there should be a disaster. The first idea is ;

A girl is struck down by a car driving past over 30, after knowing that he has hit her he drives away. The family are very upset and distraught when they find out what has happened, as the family rush to the hospital they find out she is diagnosed with with a permanent brain damage which then causes her to loose her memory. Her partner then tries to help her recap her life, this is very hard because she no longer has the feelings she felt for him previous to the car crash. She then dies without knowing she has MS. However, we decided this concept was unrealistic for us as we could not manage to actually create a car crash as it would be very hard for the audience to understand fully without the correct equipment. 


The film begins with a trouble young man who gets himself into a lot of trouble, he loots a house one night and is finally being tracked by the police. In a panic he runs away and barges into a house where a women lives alone. He keeps her hostage, using threatening behaviour to scare the women and stop her from escaping. As the story unfolds the two protagonists spend a lot of time together, at the start he ties the woman down letting her drink and eat little. However as he begins to see what he has become he starts to talk and chat more to the woman, in which she finds comforting. He begins to let her move freely around her house more but not leave it, he releases some emotional background stories of a troubled childhood and family life. Explaining why he is like he is and reasoning for his behaviour. The women sympathizes with the man and agree to try and create him a new life, making him look different, giving him a different name etc. Through helping him develop they both realise they have feelings for one another and fall deeply in love. Eventually his court case is closed and together they welcome a new, happy life with each other as a couple.  

A girl gets hit by a drunk driver in a car late at night, the driver leaves her on the floor and drives away. Police then start to try and track the driver down and the girls family are distraught as they find out what has happened. The family all rush to the hospital and the girl is diagnosed with permanent brain damage causing her to lose her memory. The girls boyfriend tries his best to help her remember her life however it is very difficult for her when she doesn't know who his is and no longer feels in love with him. In the end the girl dies as she doesn't realise she has MS. However, we decided this concept was unrealistic for us as we could not recreate the car crash in a way that would enable the audience to see her get hit by the car with the equipment available to us.

The film 500 days of summer, influences me because of the style it is made in. I have used this film because i like the way it is produced, the narrator, the graphic scenery that brings it together and the light hearted tone throughout the whole film. The setting of the film is set in new york giving it a range of landmarks that the audience can relate to, i will take this into account when creating my own setting in my opening scene. The genre of the opening scene i will be creating will be a romantic comedy, like 500 days of summer. I will focus on the non diegetic music that is added in by looking at the album for the movie that involves very deep songs for the romantic scenes such as 'here we are' and the comical songs such as 'dreams come true'.

The film is clever and independent and helps me think of ideas to make mine better. The twist at the end when the boy meets 'Autumn' is very ironic as the film is about the time he spends with summer. This is the climax of the narrative structure although the film is set randomly in the past present and past but keeps a structured story line, i will take these things into account when creating my own opening sequence.
