Opening Scene Idea development - 2

Earlier on we thought on starting the opening sequence with a voiceover which would tell us already a lot about the character. We would introduce the voiceover by our main lead female character writing into her dairy. A diary connotes of a character/person not having many friends and also being shy to the world therefore they need to express their emotions through written words.

Now we plan on portraying only the female lead in the opening sequence due the film being through her perspective. The voiceover we plan on doing will be her diary entry however we will see it playing over other events too. Furthermore we would have some parts of the voiceover matching with the events that take place in the opening scene.

The setting and location that we have thought of is her room at the very begining, a tube station and a library. The tube station would tell the audience where the film is set, London. Library is chosen due to her being a bookworm. And her room, would just show her character to the audience. For example we might include picture frames of her with her family which would tell the audience that she loves them a lot. Or we could also have a few teddy bears lying around the room which links back to it being a rom-com, and also that she is a shy childish girl.
