Synopsis, Characters & Backgrounds:
Idea One: Old American gangster (Film Noir) walks on to the screen, turns and shoots at the camera, out of the gun the channels logo will appear and hit the screen, possibly cracking it.
Idea Two: The logo will slowly appear as if sketched on to the screen, ones the sketch is done the logo will fade on to the screen.
Idea Three: Two taxis driving on screen collide in the middle creating the logo to appear in the crash.
The background to all three will be the same/similar and will be the New York skyline silhouetted. I will also try and put holes in the background and back light it to create a street light effect.
