This storyline links in with my chosen genre, the theme of the movie is what my group will like to capture.

The movie starts of with a close up of a baby’s face, so we automatically assume this may be linked in with family genre or children’s story. There is fairytale like music soundtrack used this shows elements of fantasy like movie. There is a voice over explaining what is happening this also emphasises on the genre. We get a sense of character when the father is at the hospital and he seems unhappy and grumpy after seeing the baby. It then cuts away to him and his wife we get a long shot of them walking fast this suggests to us that they are in a rush to get away from the baby. We already pick up signs that there maybe some rivalry this seen when the baby is is dumped in the back of the car this shows lack of compassion and security for the baby. The baby is isolated from the family; the son is secured compared to the baby.
As the family pull to the house we get a voice over claiming that the family were not nice people so we get a sense of characters and storyline.

Opening Sequence Script Remake

Int. Corridor. Day
Production title in Blue screen fades to view of ceiling, a light hangs down, and a florescent patthern shawdowed in bright light onto the ceiling, glowing . Moves gently down and across from the top right until it reaches a door slowly coming into the centre of the frame. A subtle daylight highlights through the spaces around the door as the door opens and the room is being slowly revealed, light grows brighter as we move closer toward it. As the door is opening we continue to move forward into the room.

Int. Bedroom. Day
A fairytale like room is revealed to us. Long shot of toys fill the room, shelf of books, table filled with pens, paper and a fairytale book, toys, and children type possessions, fairytale like snow globes, this is shown through a pan, establishing the setting, a bedroom. We look across to the shelf of books; we see a close up of the books. Fairytale books are lined up across the self, some battered some new. We follow on from the right to left as it leaves the pan of books and moves towards the left, going into a pan of a table we see coloured pens scattered on top of a drawing, some few pens have lids off. We then see an open book lying across the corner of the bottom left side of the table, opened in the middle. Moving along past the table. We next see the bed, with a teddy bear on the front right corner of the bed. As we get closer to the foot of the bed LITTLE BLUE walks to the bed side and picks up a blue bag. She walks away and to us is revealed from behind her a picture frame. We look closer to the frame on the bedside table as it closes in on the picture of a family. From left to right we see the FATHER, LITTLE BLUE, and MOTHER and further away STEP SISTER. Then fades to a blue screen. Fades to blue screen and title ‘Little Blue’ appears.
