4 Ideas for an opening title sequence

THE EGG FRONTS 

In the sequence Martha the lead singer of the Egg Fronts walks by a stage accompanied by a non diegetic drum beat. Synchronous to the beat the video cuts to a concert performed by the egg fronts and back to Martha standing alone Infront of the stage. This is portraying Martha’s Dream of performing on said stage. The sequence starts out with a extreme wide shot of the stage as Martha walks towards it a close up of her faces interduces her to the audience. The camara then wipes to centre stage and after a few seconds cuts to Martha during the performances coming out in an egg costume. This pattern of a reaction shot of Martha which then wipes to the empty stage and then cuts to the performances repeates itself while the music gets more intense at the climax of the beat there is dolly shot closing in on the drum set which features the name of the band which is also the title of the film. The titles fill out the hole frame and appear on the empty stage. 

The lead singer of Egg front, Martha is convinced that she is three things: the next great composer, the next great virtuoso and already an amazing businesswoman. The other bandmembers are the passionate and talented Vienna and Berthold the unorganised drummer who they found on the subreddit r/ALLrockAFTERthe80sIScrapIMnotTOXICimJUSTrigth. Martha discovres a local music youth competition organised by the local radio station the winners song is going to be played on the radio. After weeks of preparation their song flops on YouTube. As the smart business Woman who Martha is she decides to simply buy the views and likes which are going to enable them to win the compaction. After wining the competition the manger Vicky Secrete notices them and offers them her services which if they were to accept would make them as she says local superstars and one day maybe regional superstars they could play at every supermarket opening. This creates a conflict and in the end splits the band as they have to dicicde between music and Fame because Vicky only wants them to play one song. Martha decides to go after the fame but during her big performances she cant get Vienna out of her head she stops the show and instead gives a speech about friendship. After the speech she notices Vienna backstage they have an emotional conversation and then go back outside and create one of the most amazing songs ever written. 

FUN FAMILY FUNCTION 

A gimbal shot starts out at Francesco’s face as he screams and moves to a midshot reviling him sitting at a dining table as he is about to through a sausage towards his sister she ducks away. ‘Is that all you got you little s....’ . Before she finishes her sentence the non-diegetic soundtrack takes over. The only thing audible from now on is a peace of classical music like The four seasons by Antonio Vivaldi. Kyle throws a glass of water in their brother’s face. Luigi who had enough stands up in an attempt to stop this madness but instead gets thrown the desert towards his face. Arthur hides in a corner but when he sees that his homemade ice-cream is being used as ammunition he runs towards the target and jumps like a Secret service agent to deflect a bullet in this case, he tries to catch it with his mouth. This battel climaxes when Kyle and Francesco run towards each other each holding a gigantic bread stick this is portrayed in a wide shot. The first title appears when the music sets in the titles are placed mostly obve the characters but they are sometimes part of the action. For example tracked on a object flying through the room in slow-motion. During the final shot the camara fades to black and the title card is revealed. 

An Italian Family living in the UK finds themself locked in their living room in the middle of a heated argument. Sitting at the table are Francesco who the other siblings are certain that he is the family disappointment due to his history of failed cyber business adventures which as he says are the reason, he didn’t have time to move out yet as he is to busy. There was simply no point in the last 20 years where he was free to deal with the stress. For some reason he is still the parents favourite child. He has tow younger siblings his sister Sofia, a 23 year old who just moved in with her boyfriend in London, her Boyfriend who seems like the default setting of a human being decided to join her for the family dinner on this faithful evening. Sofia studies law and posts to her vegan cheese and fungus blog in her free time. The other sibling is Kyle, this was the night where Kyle wanted to ask their sister if they could move in with her in London, as Kyle could not stand the rest of their family anymore, due to the families famously right-wing conservatives standpoints. Luigi Flavio Roberto or as his kids call him Papa Popie is sitting at the head of the table he is not only head of the village neighbourhood watch but also a local hero after he saved the life of a duck who was nearly killed by a dog, a picture commemorating this moment is sitting on the mantel. Currently standing next to the wine closet is Luige’s second wife and notorious stamp collector who was once called South Dorset’s pretties air plane enthusiast, a picture commemorating this moment is also sitting on the mental, Misses Reginia Ruby Rosie Riley Roberto. While the others are still throwing food around the room Sofia’s boyfriend Arthur who had to go to the toilet since they got here tried to escape to the bathroom. But he can’t. The door seems to be locked. Most likely because Luigi implanted again a new safety device that doesn’t work. He pushes harder and harder. He eventually runs against the door resulting in a loud ‘KABOOOMM’, which redirects the family’s attention to Arthur who is now lying on the ground, whining. As the family finds out that their locked in and cant leave the room Regina Ruby Rosie Riley Roberto grabs a few bottles of wine. Luige commands everyone to sit down. Due to the lack of options everybody sits down. ‘I will call a guy, this is certainly not ideal, but not the worsts thing to happen to the Roberto’s’ he says while trying to calm everyone down. An argument about what the worst thing that did happen to the Roberto’s started by Sofia and fired up by Francesco climaxes when kyle starts running towards the door as this trip through memory lane brought up some trauma hidden in the back of their brain. After this attempt to leave the room also fails Kyle starts crying. They collapse on the ground Sofia tires to catch them. Francesco turns to Arthur, commenting in a very inappropriate and bigoted manor on this situation, amusing Luigi and Regina. Luigi who tires to keep the peace starts one of many inspirational speeches of the evening while Regina is deeply moved and starts to cry, although this could be due to the previously consumed bottles of wine, the rest of the family seems to not be affected at all. Out of the bule another argument starts resulting in the until now quiet Arthur to scream before he moves on and divides the room in quoters. He explains that from now one Everyone should stay in one corner and just simply not talk to people outside of their corner until the repair guy comes and opens the door. In the next few minutes a devastating silence takes over the room. But slowly conversations start popping up through the room people move around this time around conflicts are handled in a understanding matter. They all end up smoshed together in a corner Luige breves in and out. ‘I’m sorry’ he says, ‘I truly am’. As everyone starts crying the door breaks open. Paul Penny Peabody stands in the doorframe ‘Ahhhhh LUIIGGGIIIII’. Everybody jumps up spreading apart. Luigi wipes his tears tries to play it cool and thanks Paul. After Paul leaves they all sit down at the table and continue their dinner.
