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.
