The film will contrast the lives of two characters - Tony, a businessman who commutes to London daily, and Chris, a pub landlord who works near his home and family. Tony seems financially successful but unhappy, while Chris appears to find happiness through his family and community relationships despite earning less money. Through depicting their morning routines, the film will explore whether wealth or social connections lead to greater life satisfaction and leave viewers considering what really contributes to happiness.

2. NARRATIVE
The film is about two people lives and the decisions they make, the underlying
message throughout this film is whether people are happy in what they do.
Our film opening will introduce the characters and show a little bit about what
they do in their day.
It will also have the audience thinking if money equals happiness or if you can be
poor and happy.

3. TONY (LEFT), NARRATIVE OF ONE CHARACTER
The shot will split into two equal size frames that run at the same time.
He will get out of bed and have breakfast the alarm clock sound will ring followed
by a close up of the alarm clock that shows a title such as actors name. The
character will them get dressed and travel to work. The opening will show him
cycling to the station and then a mid shot of him on a train. The worker will
then walk through Canary Wharf dressed in a suit and then into a building
and eventually an office. A wide variety of shots will be used such as long
shots of him travelling and tracking shots. The actor will look upset and tired
which will show how he isn’t the hero. This will also demonstrate the drama
genre.

4. CHRIS (RIGHT), NARRATIVE OF THE OTHER
CHARACTER
This character will be the person who is loved and is happy. This character will
get up later than the other and look like he enjoys his life. The person will
have a nice family who love him and this will be shown by his family hugging
him and making breakfast. This person will work in a pub and is liked by
everyone there. The person will also walk to the shop and be greeted by
everyone. The shot example that one door closes and the other opens as
shown in Cape Fear is effective and is a shot that will be used in both
sequences.

5. TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audience for our film opening will be aimed at adults. The reason we
have decided to aim this at adults is because it revolves around an adults
lifestyle. Another reason we have chosen adults as we wanted to show that
you can have an unsuccessful job in terms of income however you can still be
happier than someone who is earning a lot of money but doesn’t socialise
with anyone.

6. FILM INSPIRATIONS
The Double The inspiration that we collected from this film is the commute to
work. The shots that are taken of the person on the train are good as they
show the downside to him working in the city and looks rather miserable. The
poor body language of the person on the train is mainly portrayed by the
shots that make him seem small and insignificant.
Fighting to Survive This is a prelim task that has previously been done by an
other student in a past year. It shows the idea of a contrast between two
different types of characters and their differences. One character has
everything going for him, house, food, a bed to sleep in. The other character
is not so fortunate and has to live on the streets. It shows the characters both
need to do what they need to do to survive.

7. CHARACTERS
