Idea for title sequence BBC

 

This Sequins is based on the headline ‘Welsh Youth Parliament election candidates bid fore votes’ by the BBC. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-59135415)

 

Petrissa McKey a young politician runs against the 67 year old Henry Gold to run for cite mayor. The opening scene poetries the rase set to a melo dramatic song  like for example “For the Damaged Coda” depicting them in a TV Debate While cross cutting to the election night were McKey is surrounded by her staff in a small basement. The scene starts out with a shot showing McKey at TV debate saying “The time has come for change”through out the scene snip bits of McKey’s and Golds speeches the scene climaxes when a news anchor announces to reveal the winner and fades to the title card. The credits in a white font are for example placed on a table at the party when some puts a back of crisps on them they disappear as the sequins progresses it slows down the camara statedly moves closer and closer to to McKey’s face. The sounds of the party start fading out while the melo dramatic non diegetic soundtrack intensifies its volume. The anchor clears his throat, the non-diegetic soundtrack stops and he announces to reveal the winner. 

The rest of the movie deals with the first year of Petrissa McKey in public service. The movie depicts her fall from a rising star in the political landscape to a corrupted Mayor who she swore to stand against. Right after her inauguration the CEO of Blue Energy Michele Peters meets up with her. Peters who clearly belittles McKey talks about a new project of hers  witch would profit the city enormously. To make it happen McKey would only need to sign some forms. The newly elected mayor kicks Peters out of her office because Peters is known for her shady workings. Peters and McKey start out as Binary opposites. One of the Mayors staff members Ember Johnson comes up to her. Ember and Petrissa start talking instantly an intimate friendship starts building up. But McKey wants more she starts pressuring Ember. A few months later McKey didn’t achieve any of the promises she mad during the campaign, her approval ratings plummet. In order to prevent the further plummeting of pole numbers she starts to sign dubious contracts as well as some agreements of the books. Peters (CEO of Blue energy) has heired meanwhile a private investigator who is supposed to dig up dirt on McKey the investigator discovers the relationship between her and Ember. McKey sits in her office late at night as Peters enters the room, they start to argue. After McKey threatens Peters she reveals that she knows about McKey and Ember and threatens McKey if she would not sign the contracts for the new mine she would expos her. The film ends with a closeup of McKey’s face zooming into her eye and then an eylinnematch to the contract in front of her.
