AS Media, Film Opening Sequence

Calling all film makers!

Welcome to PA's AS Media blog for the Foundation Portoflio project to create a new opening sequence to a fiction film. Here you will find all the course infomation that you need, including deadlines, links to useful websites, examples of existing opening sequence analysis and of course a space to upload your group's blog!

All that's left for me to say is...lights, camera, action and enjoy yourselves!

The Pitch

The pitch is a vital part of any film making process. It is the time when an idea is sold to investors and for many film makers, how good (or bad) their pitch is what makes or breaks the film being produced.

With this in mind, you need to think about, plan and work on your pitch very thoroughly and make sure that it is as slick, engaging and convincing as possible.

You should aim to cover the following in your pitch:

  • One line sales pitch for your film
  • A selection of draft production logos, including the final draft-with reasons for your choice.
  • An outline of your opening, including: plot, characters, possible locations, costumes, style/genre of score or soundtrack.
  • A brief synopsis of the rest of the film- as if you were to make the whole film.
  • An outline of your target audience, covering areas such as age, media interests, brand identification and lifestyle, with reasons why and a suggested certificate for your film.
  • Details of other film intros that have influenced you in any way; from your chosen genre, and others from different genres.
