BBC opening title sequence idea 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-59297187- link 

For my BBC opening title sequence idea, I will be using the article "My hunt for the worlds most wanted hackers". This news article is about a cyber reporter called Joe Tidy going on the hunt for the worlds most wanted hackers, which are mainly based in Russia. 

My opening sequence idea will start off with a man sitting in a small isolated room surrounded with many computers. The room would be dark with the only light coming from the numerous computers around. The man would be tall, skinny and typing away on the computers. After a few moments of non diegetic low suspense music there would be a gigantic bang. This bang would be the diegetic sound of the door being kicked down. As the door gets kicked down a squat teams quickly and suddenly rush into the room grabbing the man and arresting him. This would happen very quickly and the original sound would pick up become fast and loud suspense music. The camera would cut out of the room and begin following the man getting put into the police car in a montage editing way. The sound would change to a Russian song with a fast beat. The lighting would become overwhelming, with blue, white and red flooding into the montage. As this is happening the title of the movie would appear across the scene for a few moments. The scene would then fade out into a black screen and the words one month earlier would appear. The black screen would then cut to a busy office in London where Joe Tidy would be working on trying to find the most wanted hackers. The camera would then follow Joe into a clear glass room overlooking London. A posh important man would walk into the office and take a seat. A shot reverse shot technique would be used here as we watch and hear the two man have a conversation. The conversation would consist of Joe telling the man he has a very strong lead on one of the most wanted hackers in Russia. The man urges Joe to go to Russia as soon as possible and follow the lead. The opening sequence would end with the two men deciding the Joe will be leaving to Russia. 

Documentaries opening title sequence idea

For this opening title idea, I created the idea based off the documentary " American murder: the family next door". The reason behind this opening sequence is to show a stenotype middle class happy family, however the movie does not end like that. This opening sequence would trick the viewer and make them not suspect what is going to happen.

My opening sequence idea will start off with an establishing shot of a house in an American suburb. The camera would then cut to a mum and her two young daughters coming out of the car which is parked in the drive way. The camera follows the mum as she takes the groceries into her house with the two girls following. This tracking shot continues to follow the mum and daughters as they enter the house and walk into the kitchen. The sound over this shot would be up beat happy non diegetic music and no dialogue would be spoken. There would be diegetic sound of the car engine, keys, footsteps, the shopping bags and the door closing. Once the camera has followed the girls and the mum into the kitchen and stopped moving, the mum says the dialogue “ come on girls, lets get dinner ready for when dad gets back”. The camera then cuts to the next scene. The camera is looking out of the widow as another car pulls into the driveway. The front door opens and the dad comes walking in. The girls run and jump onto him and the mum goes to kiss him on the cheek. The scene then cuts to the family at a round table having a big home cooked meal. The families conversation is basic family chat, like “how was your day”. The music is still happy and up beat. The camera moves away from the table changing from a mid shot to a medium long shot, as this happens the title “ American Murder: the family next door appears in big black writing.
