Ideas for opening and title.

Title for film 

The name of the film is vitally important for the success of a film as it sets the scene for the film, and gives the public the first impression of what the film will be about. We thought of many different names which we felt could be appropriate for the type of film that we want to create, all of which were centered on suggesting that the characters were trapped in a location and are now in danger. For example some of our ideas were Zone, the reason that we have not gone with this is because we felt it was too vague, we then thought of Shock Zone but again felt that it did not give the right idea of the film or the sci-fi element that we wanted. We then thought along those same line and of some kind of area in which would suggest that  the characters were taped, so we thought of shelter, bay , den and lair then added various words in front such as devils, and savage, this would create the idea of a monster that is chasing after them, therefore trying to creating the right atmosphere for the plot of the film. 

We still didn't feel that any of these titles created the right atmosphere for the film that we wanted to create, as we wanted there to be more than just a monster chasing some people, so we thought of ‘No Way Out’,  as it shows that the characters are trapped somewhere and suggests that they will have to work their way out of the tunnel while under the pressure of being chased by a monster. 

In the end we decided to call our film ‘No Way Out’ after much discussion took place, because we feel that this is an appropriate name, the main reason being that the film will be set inside a tunnel which the characters are trying to get out of, whilst also making sure not to get caught by the monster. 

Ideas for the opening:
We deiced that we were going to do a opening for the sci-fi/horror genre, which will be set in  a darkened tunnel, that is near to the edge of a cliff. The film will start with 3 characters running away from a monster which will be shown through a hand-help camera, therefore giving the audience a point of view shot. The camera will then be dropped and all the audience will see are the feet of the characters running to safety, this will be shown through the use of a worms-eye-view. The titles will appear throughout containing the actors names and the usual information that is given in the opening of a film, they will then go fussy as they disappear.  The camera will then rewind as if going back time, where it will stop to show earlier in the day. This will represent them as just normal friends that were out for a nice day out, before the event took place that lead to the main plot of the film. 

The reason that we want to do this film, rather than the other ideas that we had is because we feel that it is the one that can be created in the simplest way, but also because we feel that we can make it look the most realistic and successful.
