Synopsis of Opening Sequence

Our opening scene is going to be in the genre of British social realist drama. This genre contains a setting within Britain using British actors and typical everyday people. This genre must be shoot in a realistic way using simple, still camera shots, natural lighting and it must be shot on location rather than on a set. The characters would be normal humans; no superheroes, no monsters.

We have decided to base our film in the city of Cambridge. Cambridge is a well known through Britain and the rest of the world. Cambridge is best known for its university and higher education levels, however our film is going to show the other side of Cambridge that tourists don't necessarily see. To the people who live in the city as well as visitors this "dark" side is not always apparent.

We are going to shoot numerous shots around Cambridge for example a panorama from the top of the Grand Arcade and shots of the colleges and areas such as millpond and Christs pieces. We will also include shots of the centre of town and down the backs showing punts and the River Cam. We will then edit them together to make a montage of Cambridge life. We are going to have a voice over of a female talking indirectly about her life in Cambridge.
