Genre, Storyline, Title.

We have decided that the initial genre would be Sci-Fi and Action for our opening sequence of the film that we will be creating. The two minute long opening to ‘Crossing The Threshold’ will contain a dream sequence of the main character's dream.

The idea behind our opening scene, is that there is an alien invasion. However only the people who believe in the invasion, can see. The Girls are running from the places which they believe are being invaded, but the public cannot see it and are acting normal and oblivious to the invasion. It also shows the main character whom we later see in the ending of the opening sequence showing that it was actually a dream, dreamt by her.

If we were to produce the rest of the film, it would be based on the woman who has the dream at the beginning opening sequence.
She is the main character who has dreams that take place in the future.
This is how we come up with the title ‘ Crossing The Threshold’. The two other girls who we see in the opening sequence would become her companions helping save the world from the invasion, as the audience watches the main character hunt down the girls to help her save the world as them girls where destined to help her from the dream we witness in the opening sequence.

Similar films are ‘White Noise’, ‘Seven’ and ‘The Ring’.We have studied the opening sequences to these films and have used similar conventions.
