Ideas - MAIN production 1

Hello Everyone!!!

I've had some ideas about our main production and this is what I've come up with:
Theme
One of my ideas was to make a Romantic Drama. The story would be about a boy and a girl falling in love with each other but after a while the girl tells her boyfriend that she's got cancer. The boy doesn't give up on their love and they are still together until she dies.
List of shots
In the opening sequence we could show how happy they are together using a variety of different shots and camera angles, such as close ups which would show more detail, low angle shots which would set them up as being powerful and happy, pan - I considered having a scene in which a pan around both of the character which could mean that they are centre of attention which would make the audience focus on how happy they are.
Sound
We could add a nice happy song on the background and probably show them in slow emotion  so the audience could take their time and feel the happiness between them. But while that is happening, we could give little hints to the audience like the girl being sad when she is alone shown through a high angle shot, or taking some pills or even having a heart attack. That would make them wonder why is she like that and keep them interested in the movie.

 

As I research a lot of sub genres I realised that if we create an Addiction Drama we can use more interesting shots and use different effects of sound as mentioned earlier I really liked the idea of the voice on the background revealing thoughts. So if we do something more tragic we can use that and it would be effective for the audience.
I was influenced by an Addiciton movie which shows what drugs do to young people and I found it very useful and educational. I would like our production to have a long term effect on young audiences.
So, this is my actual idea.
Following the storyline including all shots and effects.
Starts with a girl's voice on the background saying: Have you ever felt like you've lost everything? You feel like you're in a tunnel full of darkness? Pause. All you dreams, hopes... love, fall apart! Combined with a sad and dramatic but slow diagetic sound this could bring the desired atmosphere for this scene and also identify what the genre is.
While this is happening, we see a dark shot of a city, could be raining, this could be our establishing shot to set the location and show where the next actions are going to happen.Then straight after that we start with showing close up shots on pills, girl's cut hands and then a high angle shot of a messy room and a girl lying down in her bed. This immediately would indicate that she is a drug addict and her life is a mess, symbolising it with the messy room. Close up on her face while she is waking up, and the shot could be blurry going to normal. Close up on the girl's hand trying to reach for another pill from her desk but she realises that there isn't anymore. Long equal level shot of her sitting down on her bed. After a POV shot looking around the room while she's sitting down to show particular bits of the room which are very messy. A high angle shot of her back getting up starting to panic, looking everywhere to find any pills. Cuts to a POV shot of her hands looking through her bag, her jacket pockets, and her cupboard. She can't find anything. Close up on her hand shaking and taking her phone. Middle high angle shot of her calling someone. Close up on her lips while talking on the phone and saying: Where are you, can you meet me?? Without hearing the answer we cut a close up shot of her face saying: I'm coming. We don't want to show the answer5 because that would make the audience wonder, why is she calling him/her, where is she going, why is she going there. All these questions could go through a viewer's mind and this would be absolutely engaging. She picks her jeans of the floor, shown through a tilt as she is bending. She puts them on as quickly as possible. The door of her room is open, a long shot behind her zooming in when she is walking almost of there is someone behind her. Cuts to another shot from behind her running down the stairs, high angle shot. She leaves the house banging the door, we hear the loud bang. There's a blackout with the titles coming on and a sound which builds up, the volume goes up and the beat is faster.
