Film Opening Idea

At first when we first formed as a group it was quite clear we all wanted to do the theme of comic/action for our film opening. Together we discused different super heros and comic book films. This way we created ideas from things that have been done in the past. After discussing hero's and villains we decided on a plot for our film opening. The film idea we came up with was that the hero is a stereotypical hero who has a secret identity and fights crime in a superhero costume. However we added a twist to our plot as we decided that the villains should also be played by the same character and that the hero is not aware he is also the villain. However the villain is aware he is also the hero. We had basically decided that our hero has multiple personality disorder.

After we had decided on the plot we needed to come up with other small details that would be vital to our story line such as a super power for our hero and villain. We had come up with the idea that the hero can control time. Instead of giving the villain his own power we again wanted to make the plot realistic and add a twist. The twist being that the villain cant control the time and this frustrates him and also makes him become obsessed with the hero.

We really like this idea and we think we can reprisent the character through contrasts of different lighting,body language, and costume. We also think that working with just the one character will benefit us for time and will make our filming less complicated as we do not have to rely on other actors. We will be experimenting with the connotations of good vs evil and we will be experimenting with how to present this idea.

 When imogen presented our idea to the lass the feedback we got back was mainly posstive as people said they thought the idea was original and sounded very interesting in general however they thought it would be difficult for us two portray two different characters from the same actor. However i think we can do it with the use of sterotypes and connotation and the way we will use our mise en scene and camera angles.
