Final Idea

Final Idea

- Covert Productions and Trppd idents are shown to the audience.

- The first scene which is located in a white experimentation room )a white wall.) is of an unidentifiable nurse seen experimenting on a man. She is seen putting doctors electrodes on his head, he is in a panicked state, however is silent.

- The man closes and then opens his eyes, he has changed his location and is now located in a football field. He is still sitting silently staring directly into the camera. A football match is seen happening behind him. The man then begins to shout “Pass” continuously, as the other boys playing football shout mild abuse at him. This is the first signifier that these memories which he is having and will have are all about bad moments in his life and him reflecting on them in this time of crisis.

- The man closes and opens his eyes again and is located back in the experimentation room. The nurse is still unidentifiable but is continuing to test on the man by forcefully forcing a form of liquid into his mouth. He is seen still struggling but carries on with the experimentation.

- In what is the third time in which the man opens and closes his eyes and he once again changes location. He is now reflecting on another life experience of school-life once again suggesting it was a bad moment in his life. He is seen sitting in an exam/detention style set up with desks located in a school hall with other pupils throwing paper balls at him suggesting he was bullied at school.

- The man comes back to realization as he opens and closes his eyes once more as he is now back in the experimentation room. A close up of the women’s hand is seen as she is checking his vitals. The man is seen shaking uncontrollably. The man shuts his eyes yet again suggesting another flashback of events that may have effecting the mans present day.

- The man opens his eyes and is now based in a family living room. The man is located sitting in the corner of the room with the family located in the centre. Both sets of characters are in the frame however the family is playing a board game and completely ignoring him suggesting his neglect by his family. While the family is laughing and playing the board game , the man is seen staring at them sadly suggesting that he wants to partake in his family activities however is neglected from even the simplest of family bonding activities.

- The man opens and closes his eyes and is once again now back in the experimentation room for the final. A close up of his eyes shows that he is repeatedly blinking before he suddenly opens his eyes instantly as though is in some form of pain suggesting the nurse has injected or stabbed him etc. The name of the title of the film then appears across the mans eyes and the screen fades to black.

- The final scene is now located in a montage of two locations. An open space and his office. These two varied locations are used to create a juxtaposition between an open space and an interior closed space. In the outside location the mans different body parts are seen suggesting to the audience that they are finally going to get some information on who the man is. The inside setting consists of the man looking through some Facebook profiles. The man begins to get a notebook and flick through it as he does so the titles start to appear on the page including cast and crew names. The outside shits continue as the pan across the mans body continues until a close up of the mans eyes are seen. The screen then fades to black which indicates the end of the opening sequence.

Walt Disney Productions

Font/Typeface

Font of the text 'Walt Disney' is written in a childlike manner (Informal and Curley,) in order to create a childlike feel for the film which is the main target audience for Disney films so therefore the audience can relate to the childlike and 'fun' writing but it also had elements of intertextuality with the actual films as they are also often fun and childlike

Castle

especially chosen for the target audience of children, the castle represents a sense of imagination and fantasy which both once again have intertextuality and relevance to Disney films but also is what the target audience of children often think about (imagination and fantasy) which is why it has been used by the Disney company.
castle location gives sense of power and royalty as the castle is isolated with plenty of landscape. This is in reference to the power and royalty which is often presented within Disney films (intertextuality)

Colours

Many of the castles colours connote a sense of happiness :

The colours are fairly bright and colorful in the Disney indent as this creates a sense of happiness even though it is obviously becoming closer to evening the happiness is still present.
The pink sky also suggests and sunny day the next day which therefore is also a reference that the next day will be happy as happiness is a connotation of sun.
the castle is also very bright and lit up suggesting happiness once more

Happiness is often a connotation of children also, so the indent has been designed to be both in reference to the happiness of the Disney films and happiness of the main target audience of children.
