Question 5

Our opening sequence starts with me playing the character of Jamal (the protagonist). The opening sequence starts with the main film title “The Aduntura” in his bedroom with a slow action sound playing in the background throughout the opening sequence. We chose to start it with the bedroom because audiences will familiarise with the setting and also because it also marks a beginning a of a story Titles of the film Production appear. Next an alarm will go off with a close up of the time which symbolises that he is late for whatever he is going to do. He then wakes up looking tired and miserable, (film titles appear with the director’s name). He then walks down the stairs with a cut in to his feet; this has been used to help the audience feel part of his journey. (Film titles appear on the side of the stairs to make it look interesting and as a group we found it effective. The next scene in the opening sequence is when Jamal is in the bathroom and he stares at the mirror checking him self. During this, character film titles appear on the mirror. He then goes up to his room to get changed for work, again film titles appear on the side of the wardrobe to add more style to it. He then opens a secret case containing a ring which obviously means something to him because as he is doing that he checks if anyone is watching him. After he has chose on what he is going to wear he goes to the kitchen to make breakfast. As he turns the kettle on and opens the cupboard to find sugar, film titles appear on the side of the cupboard with titles of the sound editor. He then looks at his watch, there is a close up of his watch symbolising how late he is, then a close up of his facial expressions to show how serious the situation is. He then drops the mug he is holding and it smashes the on the floor with edited sound of the glass smashing which make it very effective and brings realism to the scene. He rushes outside showing a long shot of his house and neighbourhood, film titles appear on top of his house. The last scene of the opening scene is set in his workplace, his colleagues are in a boardroom meeting and discussing on what actions to take. Jamal fashionably late rushes in to the meeting and apologises. A mid shot is used for this shot, with film titles appearing near the side of the actors/actress playing the work colleagues. He then sits down on his chair with an over the shoulder shot. The themes we have chosen to attract the audience is by following the codes and conventions of action adventure films such as the type of sound, camera shots, editing and props which are essential in helping engage and relate tot the audience. Other films which have also addressed similar themes are “Spiderman, Avenger Assemble, and Hulk. These films are very similar in contrast with themes because they both share similar storylines, characters e.g. Hero’s and Villains which all link to key themes in action adventure films.
