OPENING SEQUENCE UPDATE.

So, in the end I decided that my second film idea was the best choice to go for, as it is something I really want to explore and try my best at portraying.

This film idea focused on the effects of abuse in a family situation, and what it does to a young man hoping to fit in socially and emotionally into society.

I was also lucky to find an actor I think could portray such a character.
I think i chose correctly from my choice of two actors as I could only really use one for each storyline, neither of them could really have been in each others.

Theo Evans:
Played by Michael Blundell-Lithco


17 years old, currently doing a music course at his local college,keeps to himself and is considered a 'loner' by his fellow students. A band which has formed on the college course have been trying to persuade Theo to join them as they try and make it in the music industry. However, Theo has been suffering from verbal, emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his father, who started taking his anger out on Theo after his mother left many years previously. Now Theo is trying to re build his life around the abuse and fit into the social life at college.   


MUSIC:

Thankfully, the music for the background of my opening sequence is also sorted!

I know a local band, based in my home town, and they have expressed their happiness over being asked to use their music, so that's another thing off my check list.

Here is the email, proving that I have permission from the band 'Cathedrals & Cars' to use their music.
