Pitch & Feedback 
Plans on my film opening (Still under construction) 
Basically, at the beginning of the film opening it starts off by it being very blurry 
and the only sound being heard is the sound made from bouncing a basketball. 
Then after a few seconds the vision becomes focused and clear and the audience 
can now see a shot of the back of a person at the side of the camera bouncing a 
basketball within a basketball court – (the court isn’t properly shown yet). The 
person bouncing the basketball then runs off, straight after this the shot then 
changes to a mid-shot of the person attempting to dribble past one of the 
opponents. After the person does dribble past an opponent he attempts to do so to 
the other one but fails due to the other person being physically bigger than him. 
The relatively smaller person is then shot falling to the ground, there is probably 
then a low angle shot from the smaller person’s position facing the big opponent. 
There is then low key lighting on him. 
That’s when the team mates of the smaller person come to help him up. That’s 
when at the background you then suddenly see the main character of the film 
opening, sitting on the bench behind them – (but initially its blurry before it 
comes into focus). It then cuts to the ball somehow bouncing/rolling towards the 
main characters feet, up till now the face still hasn’t been showed. The main 
character stops the ball and picks it up – (here there’s a mid-shot of his hand 
picking up the ball). That’s when he stands up, picks up the ball and analysis his 
opponents through a series of long and mid-range shots, he then dribbles past 
one his opponents – (this scene along with many others will be slowed down to 
make it look epic and that he has powers) and many others. He is then stopped by 
the last person in the opposing team, he does one last epic dribble, somehow 
jumps on his back aiming to do a slam dunk – (this will all be shown as a slow 
motion).

Location, Props, Actors, Sound & Lighting 
All scenes will be aimed to be taken place in a sort of basketball court, preferably 
the one in school where most students take part in the class P.E. The entire court 
may not be used to its full extent due to the amount of actors taking part in the 
film opening. 
The actors that I want to be taking part should try to vary in sizes to show 
authority in some scenes due to size differences between people. 
I personally have one main basic technical idea to make my film opening a selling 
point and a very good film opening, and that is to create the illusion that the main 
character seems to have the ability to physically move faster than everyone else, 
making it look like time has slowed down for his opponents but not for him. 
Letting him have the upper hand in the game. This would be done through a 
series of turning some scenes into slow-motion while others would be some of the 
actors actually doing things in slow motion. 
Basically the non-diegetic sound being played would be intense, thrilling and 
particularly loud so as to imply epic and intense moments in some scenes. 
As for lighting I was considering there being a constant natural key lighting but 
the with the exceptions of some low key lighting once or twice on some actors 
such as the large opponents to signify that they are the “bad guys” in the film 
opening.

Actual Feedback 
From my interview I had a lot of comments of the upcoming film opening I was 
about to produce, I had helpful comments like: 
 While I’m directing the film opening I should have in mind that I shouldn’t 
drag some specific scenes for too long. 
 Add some very dramatic scenes at the beginning if possible. 
 Make what is happening believable – (as in scenes like fight scenes, etc.) 
The only comment that I could consider negative was the one that suggested that 
the genre sport shouldn’t really be included in an Action movie. But even so, that 
is an opinion and I will still continue the attempt of merging both genres together 
to get a very good film opening.
