2. Film Title
Her Name is Alice
Font – Gabriola
We have decided on ‘Her Name is Alice’ as our film title. It
adds a mystery to the film as the audience may wonder who
Alice is.
3. Setting name
Our film opening is going to be set in a village
which we have researched into and decided
on the name “Darkton”
4. Synopsis
The film opening will begin by Rosie biking through fields,
roads etc. The camera will follow her journey to the field
using different camera angles and shots to do this. She will
then meet Alice at a field where the two will have a picnic.
Over the top of the journey the song we have chosen will be
played, where it will fade to the voice of Rosie narrating
over the top.
5. Genre
The genre of our film opening is Thriller
Fantasy.
We will portray this genre by the effect that
we will obtain through the editing and the
way we introduce characters into the clip.
6. Characters
We will have two characters that will be
presented in our film opening;
Alice and Rosie.
Alice believes that Rosie is dead, but actually
Alice is dead but is unaware of this.
Both girls will be about 13 years old.
7. Music
We have decided to use
‘Blackbirds – The Beatles’
At 38 seconds of the clip we will fade out the music for the
narration to come in.
Once narration has stopped or if it has any pauses the song will
then be brought back into the video.
Meaning for song choice
The song is from that era
The Beatles released their first film in 1966 which is the year we
are basing on film opening in, and this is what is being said in the
dialogue over the top
There’s are part in the chorus which can be repeated and faded out
to link with our eary genre.
8. Titles
• As she begins her journey a title will come
up saying the date e.g. “1966” The titles will
slowly appear over the whole film opening.
The font we will be using is Gabriola
“1966”
• We have decided to use this type of font
throughout the whole film opening.
9. 1950 and 60’s and the fashion
We have chosen to set the scene in the year of
1966
For this we have looked into the type of
fashion that was around this time, which will
help us with the characters images in the
opening film.
10. Fashion and setting
• In the film opening, we must remain under the
era of the 50 and 60’s making sure we continue
with this fashion and area of buildings.
• We will make sure there are no cars around to
show it was filmed in modern time.
• To do this we will be filming in quite abandoned
areas, so cars aren’t usually around anyway.
• The girls will wear skirts / dresses with a petticoat
to add to the theme of the 50’s, and the whole
fashion will add to the girls being innocent and
sweet.
11. Company Logo
As a group we have put together a company logo for our film.
We have used the word “fantasy” as our company logo name
as the genre of our film will be Fantasy / Thriller, therefore it
links.
We have used the image of a blackbird that we have drawn as
our company logo image as our film will be opening with a
blackbird flying. It also links with our music choice of
‘Blackbirds’ by The Beatles.
12. Camera and Editing
• PoV shot of Rosie’s view
• Short takes – adds expectancy to the
opening
• Sharp shots – quick, jumpy
13. The catch
• Alice’s narration will end with the ending line
having a twist which will create the hook of
the film.
• The film will go into a bright light which is a
flashback of what have got them to this
point, this is the hook as the audience will
want to know what’s happened.
