FILM IDEAS
We were asked by our Media Studies teacher to produce the film idea, and then to create a title sequence for this film.
Honestly saying, it wasn't the easiest thing for me, because I am one of those who cannot create, however I came up with a few ideas.

First
A young man, who is a tallented computer genius, one day discoveres that he hacked a way into parallel world, and he can now adjust the ''setting''s and rewrite the code as he likes, as a result creating a perfect world.
However, after thinking carefully, for one more time, I thought that it is not the best idea, in terms of producing a title sequence. If the film is about a computer genius, it has to be an actual computer in title sequence and computers just look awful on the screen! So I rejected this idea.

Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Adventure
Second
My second idea had to be, to create a film about football, however I had to make sure that there is the main idea, a so-called plot of a film, not only a green grass and a ball. It was necessary to come up with an idea that would attract audience to watch this film. In addition, I thought that creating a film based on football, would be difficult because, in order to produce a title sequence for this film, I had to go on a football match and film there. So I rejected this idea, too.
Genre: Sport/Action
Third
While, I was thinking for a better idea, I considered the fact that a lot of films are based on a true stories, and recent fims, which were produced in Hollywood were based on a true story. In addition, it is easier to attract more audience and are much easier to make because you already have an idea, what's film is going to be about.
So I decided to search for some strange true stories, which could be the idea for the film and that is what I got:
Postcard Farewell
When Jim Wilson’s father died in Natal, South Africa, in April 1967, both Jim, living in England, and his sister Muriel, living in Holland, were informed. Muriel contacted her husband who was on business in Portugal, and he flew to South Africa right away. Changing planes at Las Palmas airport in the Canary Islands, he bought a postcard showing holidaymakers on Margate Beach, Natal, and sent it to Muriel. It was she who noticed that the photograph showed her father walking up the beach.
The Biggining
The film starts with introsuction of Jim and Muriel's dad. He lives in South Africa with his second wife. One day he was returning home from work. It was a dark night and he did not see the lorry going on the road. In the hospital, doctors did everything they could, in order to save his live...
Also during the first part of the film, there is a brief introduction of two sisters.
The Middle
In the middle of the film, two sisters got informed about their father's death. After which, Mariel called her husband, and told him what has happened. Her husband, immidiately, went to South Africa from his business trip in Portugal. On the way back, he bought a postcard, which he sent to his wife.
The Ending
After the funerals, Jim went back to England, where she lived. Muriel and her husband went back to Holland. During the supper, Muriel noticed a man, looking like her dad on the postcard. She picked up a postcard and looked closely at it, she noticed that it was her dad walking near Margate Beach. She got the feeling that her father did not die, because she felt the presence of him.
HOWEVER there is a flashback to the car crash, where Jim's and Muriel's father, managed to survive the car crash. After a 7 month recovery, Jack tried to understand who orgonised his murder. After a few month, of working, he finally understands who and why did that. So Jack decides to take revenge, by killing his ex-business partners.
After the work is done, Jack is finaly free, and he now wants to visit his two daughters, however he realises that it is not the right thing, because they both think he is dead. He askes his close friend, who helped him to find the organisers of his murder, to give the letter, to his daughter after many years, when his Jim and Muriel would recover from their dad's death. (they don't know that he is alive).
After, ten years, when everything and everyone is forgotten, daughters receive this special letter, where everything is explained... They tried to search for their father, however that was purposeless...

Genre: Drama / Thriller
Target Age: 18+
I thought that this story is very sad, but cool at the same time, therefore it is going to attract enough audience, because the idea is quite good and unusual.
Out of all three ideas, which I had so far, this one I like the most!!
