Developed Idea for Our Film Opening

To further explain how me and my partner plan on developing our film opening, we plan on utilizing many of the techniques seen in the films we drew our inspiration from when we initially thought of our idea. We already decided on the actress for the main character of the opening scene, which is going to be Valentina Suarez. Moreover, we deciding on using one of our houses as the setting in order to capture the concept that this “virus” can reach any individual of any social class. 

Moving on, to start the opening scene we would make use of a live news broadcast on a television in order to inform viewers of the global problem going on. The broadcast would also urges civilians to use burner phones in order to avoid the use of advanced cellular devices. Thus, with this information, the audience immediately becomes aware of the issue at hand. Moreover, we would then move on to show our main character viewing the broadcast, but like many others she is not convinced on the reality of this problem. Thus, viewers would be able to identify these feelings in the main character based of her facial expressions and on the conversations she would have on social media with her friends after viewing the broadcast. Furthermore, the conversation the main character has on social media contributes to the representation of a normal teenage girl we are trying to capture. Thus, this representation is based solely on the idea that teenagers are constantly on their phones; therefore, our plot works well with this concept because it targets individuals who always utilize their phones.

After the main character chats with her friends on social media, she receives a phone call and of course she answers the call without thinking about any of the consequences, which ends up resulting in her death.
