Ideas for the opening sequence to my film

We thought of 2 ideas collectively to ensure that we produce an opening sequence which we all are involved in. We didn't want anyone left out as well as ensuring that we have a back up plan just in case one idea doesn't work out as expected.

Our ideas were as follows:

Idea 1

Two people in the group seemed to enjoy anime and manga quite a lot so we accommodated that thought and decided that we would create an opening scene inspired my an anime. In order to achieve this, we would have to showcase the life and history of a character followed by a fight.

Due to the fact that we were quite enthusiastic to create a film like this, it made it easier to layout and create the opening sequence. This type of opening would be different to modern day openings as we will show the life as well as the culture of Japan which many people today do not know very much about. This is a niche in todays audience as they may watch anime and read manga however, they are not very well exposed to the history of Japan itself.


Idea 2

With our second idea, we decided to change it up a bit and thought of a superhero film in comparison to a samurai film due to larger audiences being able to relate more to a superhero film. Our superhero would have special powers such as being able to read other people's minds. Recent trends show that superhero films seem to do better with large audiences rather than samurai films. For example, The Last Samurai made a total of $456,758,981 on the box office whereas Man of Steel made an astonishing $668 million. This evidence shows that we would have a larger audience if we were to produce a superhero film. We had to strategise as to how we would go about this, so we decided that if we created a superhero film, we would make significantly more profit and we would stand a chance of becoming a global blockbuster.
