This document outlines the requirements for a group assignment to pitch a 2-minute opening sequence for a film. It includes sections for listing conventions from the film subgenre that will be applied, providing a synopsis and timeline of events, describing narrative enigmas, settings, characters and actors, props and costumes, shot types, sounds, and receiving feedback to improve the idea. The group is to present the pitch from the projector, assigning jobs and ensuring everyone contributes to the presentation. Extra tasks like a mood board could also be included.
