A Secret Love, opening title sequence based on Netflix documentary

This idea for a title sequence is based on the trailer for the Netflix original documentary 'a secret love'.


The sequence starts with a shot reverse shot of a man and a woman dressed in typical 40s clothing. They smile at each other. A non-diegetic 40s love song starts playing. Then a tracking shot moving away from the protagonists revealing a second couple on the bench. The two women are sitting with their backs next to each other. Their boyfriends are moving in for a kiss. The two women hold each other’s hand. The first credit fades in. The other credits. are spread throughout the sequence. The camera pans multiple times away from the protagonists to reveal the next credit. The next part of the sequence depicts them walking up a mountain. The sequence features multiple eyeline match POV shot of the men gazing at their girlfriends. At one point there is an eyeline match between one of the girls’ breasts and the other girl, hinting her interest. They arrive Infront of a steep part of the mountain the men decide to climb the mountain while they leave their girlfriends behind. The non-diegetic music shifts into a rock song while the two women realise that they’re now alone.  They run into the woods. A moment of peace as the song stops for a second, they look each other in the eyes portrayed through a slow pasted shot reveres shot. The non-diegetic rock song starts playing as they move closer to each other, and the paste is getting faster. A tracking shot moving out from them kissing each other shows them kissing a yellow cursive font title card is revealed. 


Storyboard:








The rest of the movie depicts the love story of Betty and Margret. When Bettys family moved to Becksvill a tiny village she first was lost but when Betty met Margert she finally feels like she was at home. Margrets eyes were just so beautiful. Her smile perfection. The only thing on her mind was Margret she wanted to spend every day every hour and every second with her. Bettys parents had a different plan though. Ron Miller. He was a 30-year-old dentist from Vermont his eyes and his smile were nice but he was no Margret. But this didn’t seem to accrue to her parents. Betty was devastated did this mean she was going to see Margret never again. But luckily enough Ron Miller wanted to stay in Becksvill for 2 months until the summer was over. During these months Betty and Margret got closer. They really connected. One night when Ron was back in Vermont and Margret’s boyfriend went already to bed they stayed up the hole night and when the sun rose they looked each other in the eyes. This was the best moment in Bettys life she forgot about everything nothing seemed important except for Margret. They kissed. Neither of them knew what was going on but they kept going through the next weeks. At day they would go on trips with their boyfriends, but the night belonged to them. Time went by way to fast. They had one more week left. One more week and that would be it. Betty tried everything but Ron was determined to move back to Vermont. Bettys parents didn’t understand. Nobody did nobody would ever understand their love. Betty had a plan they would run away. It didn’t mater where the only important thing was that they loved each other. At least that what she thought but when she told her plans to Margret her plans she just looked at her. She seemed disturbed. ‘Betty’ she said, ‘A would love to but this isn’t gona work’. Margret ran away. A close up of Bettys face as the screen fades to black ‘10 years later’. Bettys dad died. After the funeral Betty sat alone in her old room, Ron had to go back to Vermont, work called. Foot steps. Betty turns around. It wa. They only looked at each other and everything was said. They ran away,to the train station there was no going back but that didn’t matter.
