To summarise it all in a blog-post, I had a group discussion with Shingai and Liban about the specific type of Genre we should pick for the opening sequence as it would help give us a clearer insight into how we can execute our opening sequence with the right music, timing and atmosphere being utilized.
We are still having thoughts about pre-production ideas but we may come to a conclusion being that the genre of our opening sequence will be an action/thriller type of opening sequence as it would captivate the viewers straight away but not give away too much of our synopsis. Our ideas included an entrance scene utilizing the Academy facilities, the elevator (as it would contribute to our plot & production values as it would give us ideas to do great shots, e.g. reverse angle shots) and reception.
The cast has been confirmed to be Shingai, Liban and I (with Nile O-Meally Newell being a possibility.) This also benefits us heavily as I feel our ideas would merge together well in a small group and our plans would come into fruition with the opening sequence we are attempting to film. We have even discussed about possible costume designs although these costumes are still early thoughts (our ideas included suits and shades. Think of Men in Black or Reservoir Dogs as a reference) as the mood we were thinking of was more of a "shady organization" type of feel; another possible reference would be to the futuristic movie hit, The Matrix.
