Planning: Initial Ideas Part 3

This is the third idea that we have discussed as a group, this idea was created by me and when thinking it I was trying to include all of the elements from the others ideas while keeping it quite simple.

The whole of the 2 minutes opening will only be showing the racer getting ready for his race - putting his race suit on and walking to the car, getting in and putting his helmet on - for this we will use a range of shot types and editing to capture every element of the racing world in a unique way. In post production we will put a voice over on top of the footage, in this voice over it will be the racers girlfriend talking about her hate for racing and about an argument they had before the race - she will be talking in present tense whereas the footage on screen will be past tense - as she is talking about the argument his eyes start to lose focus and he is getting distracted by the thought of the argument. She will then say something along the lines of "it's all my fault" and this will be heard as we see the race start and him start racing, the screen will then go black as we hear the sound of a crash and then the title of the film will come up onto the screen. Throughout the clip we will also be able to hear the diegetic ambient sounds of an engine revving and other sounds linked to racing.

Issues that we might face with this idea is picking up the sound for the voice over and the sounds of the engine, this is because the cameras we have access to don't have the best sound pick up so we might have to emphasise these elements in post production.
