After hearing the feedback that we heard in class ( Located in the comment box underneath the previous opening sequence ) we adapted our opening sequence to improve it.
The opening sequence starts off with and ext. shots of Barking Abbey School (Leisure Centre) it then dissolves to a panning of inside the leisure centre , which then pans across the basketball court,where we have a longshot of Ricardo dribbling a basketball .The camera continues to pan through the leisure centre into the dance studio where we have a longshot of Alison gathering her dance things together after a session alone, she will pick up a CD and on that CD we will have a credit eg.editor. There is no dialogue just a sound track playing. We cutaway to Ricardo putting his duffle bag over his shoulder this will be a meduim long shot and on his duffle bag a credit will appear e.g directors name. The camera will follow Ricardo and as he opens the sports hall door we have a cutaway shot of Alison opening the door to the dance studio and walking out into the hall way going over her dance steps. We then cut back to Ricardo as he is walking through the hallway we have and over the shoulder shot of him seeing Alison. The over the shoulder shot will capture Alison turining around to see Ricardo behind her. We then cutaway to a close up of Alisons face looking embarrased. We will then have the camera inside the locker so as Alison opens her locker door we see her face, as she puts her things inside her locker it will eventually block the view of the camera. We then cutaway back to the over the shoulder shot of Ricardo and as he opens his locker, the camera will cutaway to a view from inside his locker where we will see Alison walking past with a lovestuck expression on her face. As he puts his belonging in his locker it will eventually block the view of the camera again and as he slams his locker door shut the title of the film will appear.
Location reece - The location will not be changed it will still be based in Barking Abbey Leisure centre.
Soundtrack - The soundtrack still needs to be decided by we have discussed that it will be soft gentle and mellow theme to it.
Font for opening titles - Italic and possibly pink or baby blue.

The Opening Sequence
The opening sequence starts off with an Ext. shot of the camera panning around Barking Abbey School (Leisure Centre), it then dissolves to a panning of inside the leisure centre, which then transforms into the camera panning across the basketball court; the dance studio then the hallway leading to the classroom. The use of establishing shots sets the scene of the film. (All the establishing shots leading up until the classroom will be in black and white). We then have a medium close up of Alison sitting in the classroom bored looking up at the clock which leads to the close up of the clock. Then music then fades out until you can just hear the clock ticking. We then cutaway to a close up of Alison's feet tapping to the beat of the clock. After a few minutes the bell goes and then the shots are in colour (we chose for this scene to be in colour at this point to emphasise Alison coming alive after being bored in school for so many hours).
We have a long shot focusing on Alison's excitement leaving the classroom, then we have another long shot from a diagonal side view of Alison as she rushes through the corridor and Ricardo with his basketball team on the other side. They both bump into each other, there is a medium shot of Ricardo helping Alison pick up her stuff. Ricardo's friends puts his hand Ricardo's shoulder, hurrying him up and reminding him that they have to be somewhere; Ricardo forgets his ball. Alison sees while she is walking and kicks it, out of frustration that Ricardo did not pay much attention to her. The camera follows the ball which then reveals the title sequence of the film as it rolls.

2nd Treatment
Spotlight on me (New Title)
Treatment; The opening sequence starts off with Alison putting on her ballet shoes to cutaway shots of Ricardo putting on his football boots, it then goes to Alison walking through the corridor to the dance studio in the 6th form. It then cuts away to Ricardo walking through the corridor hearing the music and peeking through the window to see Alison dancing.Ricardo is mesmerized by her dance moves and cant help himself so he walks in applauding her.
Alison is shocked as she has a huge crush on Ricardo because Ricardo is captain of the football team that every girl loves, this is he first time he has ever noticed her, he goes on by saying that she is the most beautiful girl he has seen and he loves the way she moves. They continue their conversation and Alison asks him to come to the talent show, Ricardo says yes and plans to ask her out after the show.
Alison is performing with 3 other dancers for the show and they find out Ricardo is planning to ask her out after the show and are envious, but they think that if Alison performs badly he wont ask her out. So they come up with a plan to do a different dance routine to the one they are rehearsing with Alison without Alison knowing.
When it comes to the day of the talent show Ricardo has a front row seat and the girls get ready to perform. They come on stage and get ready to perform the stage goes dark and the spotlights are about to come on luckily for Alison her spotlight is the only on that comes on so the audience dont see the other 3 girls dancing, Once again Ricardo is mesmerized and when the music stops he runs on stage and asks her out.
