Opening Plot Ideas

Romantic Comedy Idea

Whereas the antagonist is the complete opposite; a ladies’ man who finds it hard to stay away from the opposite sex, however he is similar to the protagonist as he does not want to be in a serious relationship. It is a pre sequel title where the titles come in after the last shot of them both answering the phone saying to their friends that they don't want a serious relationship.

Thriller Idea

She gets ready for the ball and holds her unusual mask to her face and enters the ball, POV is used to focus on certain people whom have similar characteristics. There is pause with a loud noise, sirens are then heard and the titles appear on to the screen
