Script
In my opening I plan on having a voice over, this will be of the main character Holly. She will guide the audience through her life and what is happening in the film, whilst the film is being planned with the different camera shots and settings appearing on the screen. I will have the voice over starting at the beginning of the film and it will fade out from time to time when the characters in the film are talking and when the music for the party is being played. This will involve me to edit a fade in and fade put of the voice over on the programme Premier pro. 
The reason for why I have chosen a voice over is because when researching teen angst film openings, the films Easy A, Clueless and Mean girls all had a voice over of the main character explaining the storyline. I found this a good idea because me as the audience watching the different openings with voice overs I had a clearer understanding of what the story of the film was about in comparison to Juno and 17 Again that didn't have a voice over and just had non diegetic music playing in the background. Script for the voice over:
2 Days Later... appears on the screen
Holly: 2 days Before... My parents had booked a night away and were leaving me at home for the night on my own, I mean I've never done them wrong, I'm the apple of my mums eye. The plan is to invite a few friends round in my classes and just have a good time BUT the invite went viral. The whole school know about my small gathering, I was well and truly stuck!
Holly: It all began in secondary school... I have always seen myself as the outsider of friendships groups. I've never been accepted by the 'it' girl Chanel. Just because she's got long brown hair, wears a tone of make up, has fake boobs and fake nails...Anyways enough about her.
Holly: So it was just your average school day, but this one particular day was different. I had friends, people actually smiled at me and knew I assisted. I mean I know deep down it's only because I was having party but I was popular for once so I didn't care.
Voice over fades out
Channel: (walks over to holly's table at the end of a lesson) Sorry about the other day
Holly: ( holly pauses, puts her pen down and looks up) It's ok, are you coming to my party?
Channel: ( with a sassy tone Channel says) It better be good see ya later
(she flicks her hair and struts off)
Voice over fades back in
Holly: Deep down I knew I shouldn't be trying to impress her but her sweet 16th is coming up and I NEED AN INVITE!
The school day had finished and Holly went home to her parents packing up their bags ready for their trip away.
Holly's Mum: You will be ok on your own won't you? I've left all the emergency numbers on the fridge and some money in an envelope for any emergency's, remember to switch everything off when you got to bed and...
Holly: YES mum I get it! I'm going to be 16 in a day not 6.
Holly's Mum: I only say it because I care Holly
The night of the party
Holly: I'm excited but so nervous, what if its a shamble, what if don't look nice, what if...
Holly: The night was great...until I got Busted, it was an embarrassment. I'm now the school joke!
Threatening messages everyday, snide remarks, horrible name calling, why did I try and be a bitchy girl like chanel.
