ive got an essay due in japanese rather soonish (as in tomorrow :( ). any help would be nice! so get in quick!

i wrote: 影武者と言う映画は日本で撮影されて桃山時代の初めに 起こった。 but in english i wanted to say "The film Kagemusha is set in Japan during the early Momoyama Period". any suggestions/corrections?

is "opening scene" 開会場面 or 開会の場面?

that will do i guess. getting an introduction that makes sense is important :D

Er, looks like the _film_ occurred in the early Momoyama Period rather than the events depicted.

[EDIT] How about ...
影武者と言う映画は日本で撮影されて、桃山時代の初め に起こった物語です。
The film Kagemusha, filmed in Japan, concerns events that occured in the early Momoyama Period.

is "opening scene" 開会場面 or 開会の場面?
Neither of those I think. オープニング場面 might do.

を舞台に展開する。

seems to be a nice phrase using that word.
