Inspired by other films in the Pastiche genre, I plan to create a film opening that both conforms to the conventions of the title, and has some unconventional aspects to it.
I want to show the teen film genre convention of 'friendship and unity'. The characters will be to some extent a team and work together from the start to show they are for the same cause. I plan to base the focus of the film around one significant object - probably a book. In this genre there is often an object of great power, e.g. the one ring in the lord of the rings. The book will have a similar power and value, but by having young people fighting for it I intend to almost mock the fellowship that fights for the ring. In this way my film opening will have a slightly juvenile feel due to the fact that teenagers are in a laughably serious setting. There will be a chase scene, as this is a strict convention from which I refuse to break. It shows both the power of the object and the determination of the characters and a multitude of shots can be used so I intend to include one.
