FINAL IDEA PROMISE

Due to recent event such as being kicked out of Liverpool Station due to not booking and not being able to afford to book the station due to lack of funds, MAC4 had a meeting trying to get a different location to film in in substation of Liverpool Station. However after going to different location to film no where was good enough. Therefore were back to using Emily's dad and his black cab.... Sorry Paul.
if the film was to become a feature long film it would be in the genres of: crime, mystery and thriller.
The opening will finish on a sixth sense moment leaving the audience confused on there new understanding of the opening. Throughout  the opening of our film we will use a variety of shots, however to keep the mystery of the driver (Paul) we are going to use a lot of extreme close up to keep the audience wondering.

Music Inspiration/ final song

Every person in Britain must know the Homebase Advert. The song played is extremely catchy, and therefore that makes me almost certain that everybody must know this song. However as there isn't any lyrics in the beginning of the song, its one of the songs that everyone knows but doesn't know. The song is perfect for our opening the quick beat at the beginning will allow the flashes of famous London landmarks flow into the next scene. Also this upbeat tune/beat complements our story/theme.
Therefore Mac4 presents Peter,Bjorn and John:

First scene of our opening

For the first scene of our opening we decided to do flashes of famous London landmarks. Living in london we have a unique advantage, getting footage from the city. During our groups meeting/brainstorm we created a mind map of some possible location to film for this particular scene.

Youtube/Easy A Inspired Idea for Our Opening

Living in the 21st Century social media is a big aspect. People of all ages use all different types of social networking sites to communicate with people: friends, family and even strangers from all around the world. Youtube is used in 61 different countries, across 61 different languages. More than 100 hours of footage is uploaded to Youtube per minute. Many people on youtube upload Vlog and tag videos telling the world all about there lives. Communicating with people of all ages, genders and cultures. Youtube alone has allowed news and information to travel fast. Youtube the past year alone has brought us: Gangnam style, What Did The Fox Say, Harlam Shake, Shocking music videos and many many more  . So much has been contributed by youtube that they have been making Rewind videos just to illustrate a few of them. Youtube is an icon. That is why we, MAC4 want to feature Youtube in our opening as we demonstrate its power.
We have planed to use Youtube in the same sense that it was used in Will Gluk's 'Easy A'. Using Youtube to been telling a story. Our idea is to have a video from Youtube be shared on a social networking site such as Twitter. The video will be a girl, vloging, or telling her story much like Emma Stone in 'Easy A' however she is being mocked, and not taken seriously on Twitter by the timeline; however the plot thickens are the girl in the video is talk about ending her life, as she no longer wants to live. We end our two minute opening after our character in our opening spot the disgruntled girl from the video on the street.
