Film Pitch 1

Having now being given my brief for the project I now need to come up with several ideas to use for my project. Here is a short pitch for the first brief...

Film Brief 1: A mainstream action film that will appeal to 15-25yr old males. Your film should appear to be based on a "fictional" comic book.

I was thinking perhaps to do a more believeable comic book idea for this one, instead of superman or spiderman, but more along the lines of Sin City, where although based on a comic book it does not include a large amount of unbelieveable stunts and special effects to achieve the main characters superhuman abilities.

Maybe something like this would do the job:








Here is the Sin City Opening Sequence, this uses a small amount of effort to achieve an eyecatching and memorable title sequence. It uses the very simple sort of White on Black text effect for the titles, but jazzes it all up by using comic style images for the background and a more interesting font for the text, And using overlay effects it makes the text semi-transparent and again, more interesting to watch. I also really like the fact that this title sequence, while using the images and introducing the actors, nothing is ever static. things are always moving all over the place. Giving the film to come a very active feel to it, making sure the audience is not going to get bored by telling them early on that the film is not a go-slow, but will have allot of action in it.





So, I would like to create a film intro that is based on a graphic novel, much like Sin City, but aound a cop, much like 'fingerling' in the film "The Number 23". He is a very dark character, allot of mystery surrounds his past, and is a very quiet man while working. The Opening sequence would end with the very start of the big mystery for the whole film, keeping the viewers gripped.
