Description of my intro + Beyond the intro

It basically starts with very short cuts between flashback and reality. In the first shot you're able to see the character playing basketball with his mates. It quickly cuts back to reality where you see the same character walking on crutches across a sports hall. He is also looking down and seeing the basketball court he used to play on before the tragic injury. It then goes back to the flashback which is in the basketball court and the character jumps to shoot the ball. Just as he is about to shoot there is another cross cut and it goes back to reality and the character continues walking then leans against the balcony. It then goes back to the flashback and he shoots the ball, lands awkwardly and hurts his ankle. There is a zoom in on his face when he lands and you see the agony/pain he is in. That is the last flashback and then back. There is a cut back to reality where it shows him walking across the hall and into the changing room. He then sees Ryan, a friend, getting ready for training and he sits down and has a conversation with him about the lack of desire to play even when he is back to full fitness because he is does not think he is ever going to be the same player he was before the injury. They talk about all the other habits like smoking that he picked up due to the emotional stress of being on the sidelines for so long. He then walks out the room and walks through the hall where he stops and glances at a framed picture of the great basketball player Max Leiva but does not show any real emotion. Most of the conversation is in shot reverse shot. All the shots are basically about 4 seconds long each and for most of the flashbacks the camera is at a slightly high angle. The flashbacks are in slow motion to try and capture the players moves in some sort of glorified way.

Beyond the intro
As the movie progresses the character's downfall is much more serious and the things he gets involved with are deeper. He starts using all sort of drugs to distract him from getting angry at not being able to play. The genre is not very clear but there is a similarity in story lines between my movie and the movie '17 Again'. In that movie Zac Effron gets another chance after he blows it during high school. It is the same idea but without the whole comic thing about him going back in the past. My story is a bit more profound and has a darker meaning to it. This intro is meant to attract the teenage audience.
