Initial Ideas for opening sequence

We began by saying that our film should be a mainstream comedy aimed at 15-19 year olds based on the idea of a group of completely different people:a geek, a popular girl, a boy who tries to act cool and a main character which is the voiceover.We had an idea about portraying the popoular girl as a typical dumb blonde, high school head cheerleader that constantly gets on everyones nerves as she always spells things out as she says them.
We then thought about adding, to the group, a boy who tries to act cool who will again, like the head cheerleader, constantly annoying everyone but with his stupied comments about how he thinks hes so cool but he really isnt so as a result people just generally feel sorry for him.
Next, we then thought about adding a geek which is completely different from the other charcters. We wanted to include a typical geek, that you might see in highschool, who has big goofy glasses, braces, has her hair in bunches and constantly useing hand santazier whenever and wherever she goes.
Lastly, we then wanted to incude a 'normal average girl'(compared to othe other characters) who is the voiceover of the film as this is what she percieved this experience, working with different people, to be.
We also wanted to portray our credits in an unique way, where we would have paused images on each of the characters with their character names and their real names beside their images with the main charcters voiceover describing each of the characters.Additionally, there would be a teacher that just assigns the groups and out these four different characters together, the teacher would only play a minor part in the opening sequence, the teacher would also be the director behind the scences of the film-making. We originally wanted to call th film 'School Days' but we werent to sure when it was said.Our initial idea was going to start with the group of people looking annoyed and then was going to pause on each charatcter and then titles running (credits) over it saying who that character is.  There was going to be a voice over describing each character, this was going to be done by the main character.  The geek, in our film, was going to be constantly bringing out hand sanitizer, with a weird name.  There is a boy that tries to act cool and tries to trip over the geek and comments from the popular girl and the main character were being made after the geek tripped and looked like a fool. 

We then went on from this idea and expanded it to starting with a year book with a class photo which we would of zoomed into and then started the film from there, when the bell would of gone and the class leaving the room.  Then students would enter the classroom and would of be segreated from eachother and then the teacher would then enter and call their names, we would focus on one group with the 4 different types of people, a geek, a popular girl, boy who tries to act cool and then the main character.  We would of seen them having to work together which would of been awful for them since they were so different but  we intended it to be funny for the people watching.
