The Chase
Revenge
Crime
Action
Plot
My opening sequence is a chase through the streets of a public place, and it is obviously surrounded by various people. It starts off with a gunshot, and then the chase begins, just after the gunshot we hear a man's voice shout out a name, of his wife then the actual chase begins.
Action
The opening sequence is all a flashback, the movie is set from 1 year later this also implies that it is about revenge. The people in the chase are two men, one of the is the criminal and the other is the victim's husband. These are the first people we see so it suggests that they are the main characters of the movie.
Mise-en-scene
My chase would be in daylight, so the lighting won't be too much of an issue, also the characters would be dressed in casual clothes, the robber would be dressed in obviously conspicuous clothes. Such as tracksuits and a hoody, and the other character would be in casual day clothes. Such as jeans, t-shirt, jumper or coat.
Characters
I would probably star two young teenage men in my opening scene. This is because it would suit my opening scene and would be easy to get these type of people for the film opening.
Setting
I think that I would set my sequence in a open place, somewhere in the city of London, because there would be a lot of open space to use and this would make it easier to film as well. Also it wouldn't look like the same place throughout the sequence. Somewhere like this as it is an open public place and it is big enough to film in and it fits in with what kinda of place I was looking for.
Sound
The diegetic sound in the opening sequence is the sound of breathing as the people are running, also the gunshot noise, there will also be a slight bit of dialogue when the man shouts at the beginning and that is it.
Credits
After each clip of the characters running, I want to include credits, so the first clip of one character running past will appear, then it will fade to black and one or two of the credits will appear this will continue throughout the sequence. In the middle of the sequence I will have a shot of the robber stopping and hiding behind a wall, this will then fade to black and the title will appear. The title will not appear at the end as it will make it look like a trailer.
Camera work
I don't want to give away who the characters are at first. So I would create the effect that they are running past the camera, mostly watching their legs and feet. I would use mainly medium close ups with the head cut off, to not expose the actors. In the main running shots I would track the person, just to create a sense of action and thrill. This will also create the running effect.
