My opening will be like an insight into the main characters life. We will see her;
-traveling from her council estate home
-shots of street signs and landmarks in Hackney
-the people of Hackney, whom she is around everyday
-we see her dealing drugs
-we see the contrast between her and the posh children that she sells drugs too
-we see the contrast between social classes
-we see gangs and crime
-we hear the dialogue that separates the social classes
-we see graffiti and the decay/ poverty of Hackney
There will be hardly any dialogue in the opening sequence, just simple "hello's and goodbye's exchanged between the main character and her peers, along to the soundtrack of grime/hip-hop music. This is because the opening sequence is meant to be a glimpse into her life, more documentary than film. Also I want to demonstrate the difference between herself and her peers, and with less conversation she is represented as a more isolated character.
This is the best way to start my film because it sets up the character and the location, which are key part to the film very well. The contrast between the characters and locations is demonstrated clearly, which is crucial, and landmarks and street signs also solidify how important the location is to the plot
