Treatment- Visual Style

As a british British Teen Drama, the opening sequence will focus on presenting the moods of the two main characters at the present moment in their lives- iitaially a rather closed, emotionless mood expected of teens, uninterested by their current lives

Both characters have their own focuses during the opening- vivian friends and louis skateboarding

As a drama, we have ensured to place emphasis on the fateful meeting of the character, leaving the viewer uncertain as to the relationship that has been sparked and engaging them whilst also indicating what the narrative revolves around: love struck teens with racial contrasting- white vs black- stereotypes clear but also opposed

similar to somers town and submarine- both british- open with music and introduce main characters with little dialogue- more focused on setting the scene

Lighting

We will start filming early in the day in order to both ensure pedestrian flow is as low as possible and also so that we can utilize the short-lasting daylight at this time of year, and ensure for continuity reasons that the lighting is not lost as filming progresses, preventing the need for extra lighting equipment and avoiding the risk of running out of shoot time.

We aim to use only natural lighting to retain the gritty natural look of a British urban drama

Ensuring Professional Style

We will ensure that our film looks professional by:

- Following the rules of continuity

- Having producer and distributor logos at the beginning of the opening
- Shooting with professional equipment
