Split Opening Sequence (Final)

After group discussions and agreements, we had decided not to go with the initial opening sequence ideas at all and had decided to think of a totally different plot, characters and genre in particular. The reasons that I felt that the initial opening sequence analysis would not have worked is because the "thriller" genre is particularly difficult to nail and considering that there were some parts of it made little sense meant that we needed to think of an opening sequence that the audience would fully understand and be engaged in from start to end.

The opening sequence is going to be filmed in different areas in comparison to my initial opening sequence idea (which was simply going to be filmed inside the school premises only) and the locations for the opening sequence will be in the Astroturf, the Pool Meadow alleyway and the school cafe which will be used for when Keano revises for his upcoming exams.

The scene will start off with the production company logo (e.g. "Metro-Goldwyn Mayer presents") and then that brief production company scene will lead to the next scene being Nile (Keano) who will be fixing up his tie as he's ready to go to school. The next scene will be followed by a different production company presenting the opening sequence (e.g. "An Hourglass Times Production") and then the brief scene will lead to the next one being Liban (Tyreese) walking towards Keano as Keano's revising for his exams and Tyreese will try and convince Keano to finish revising at that moment and go with him but Bradley will refuse which leads to Liban leaving the scene. The scene after that will be the introduction of the characters' names (e.g. "NILE O-MEALLY NEWELL and LIBAN ALI") for a mere number of seconds before Nile will be putting on his football kit before looking in the mirror once more as the camera takes a tracking shot from top-to-bottom showing his Nike socks.

The next scene will be him dribbling over 7 football cones before taking one more step and then blasting the football into the back of the net. The introduction of more characters' names will appear after that scene which will then lead to Keano dressing up in a black bomber hoodie as he is ready to rendezvous with the gang and the next scenes will be him meeting up with the gang before the title of the movie appears as the final scene ("SPLIT").
