Film Introduction Idea (Coursework)

For my film introduction I was planning on making a Romantic Comedy. A very fast paced, quick cutting two minute piece. The film would be based in London, about the life of three male flat mates and their relationship with women. My idea was to have a voice over, very much along the lines of Hitch or Love Actually as the day time starts. I was planning on showing the london night life in a variety of different shots from gigs, to clubs. In a similiar fashion to the way "Empire State Of Mind", the Jay-Z Music video is shot with some quick cuts and sometimes the use of actual pictures.

I would be using central london mostly but without introducing the charachters just yet. Using a feel good party song, self created, along the lines of "Ooh Wee" by Mark Ronson. I would then depict the transition of night time to day time with a fade and the sun rising. The morning would be filmed in very much the same fashion as "Open Your Eyes", the Snow Patrol music video showing the journey of a car. This idea is slightly changed though as it would be through the eyes of a person and it would start at Leicester Square and continually get off at every station along the piccadily line showing a fair bit of central london and giving the film some bearing. The Camera/person would finally get off at Earls Court station and continue to the flat. It would be fast pace again yet it would dramatically slow down as a good looking girl walks past, and then continue to the regular pace until it reaches the front door of the flat. The camera would progress through the flat as the door is left ajar. Their would be items of clothing scattered around the floor as the camera continues the journey to the three bedrooms. It would then introduce the three main characters as they all say good bye to a different girl consecutively. The Camera would then switch to actions rather than people as the kettle would be turned on. Bacon on the frying pan.Toaster pushed down. Then conversation would resume and the introduction would finish
