Our film opening is based around a hit. Ryan Hunt, the main
character is looking down a sniper scope at his target (who is loading boxes
from a garage into a car), when a third party kills the target before him. Ryan
shoots and interrogates the third character before killing him.
·
Our
Sequence will be set in two locations, the first being the sniping post, a
blank white walled room, in which Ryan will be sitting, pointing his sniper
rifle out of the window. The second will be a dingey set of garages which are
secluded from the street, the garages aren't well upkept, showing a working
class, urban setting. The Target will be loading boxes from one of the garages
into a car.
·
The
sequence contains a central theme of Revenge
·
There
will be percussive non-diegetic music which gradually will get louder, to build
a tense atmosphere leading up until the first shot is fired. After which
point we will use faster paced music, which will drop off as the dialogue
starts
·
During
the build-up to the first shots, you will be able to hear Ryan's breath and at
the point where the third party enters the scene he will mumble "Who are
you?" After shooting the third party Ryan will have
a brief scripted dialogue with him during which the third party will
reveal he was sent by a gang called "Church Street"
·
There
are 3 characters in the sequence:
1. The Protagonist. He will seem cold, and lacking emotion. He will wear a suit. And in the sequence will always be holding a weapon (The sniper rifle at the start, and then a pistol at the end). This will make his job explicit, with the suit connoting professionalism and the guns showing that he kills people
2. The hit. The hit will be loading boxes into a car. He will be dressed in casual clothing; jogging bottoms and a hoodie, possibly with a snap-back cap. He will have a gun tucked into the back of his trousers, which will only be visible when he reaches up to close the garage, this will signify him as some sort of thug, or drug dealer.
3. The Church Street gang member. He will be dressed similarly to the hit; in low hanging jogging bottoms and a hoodie. He will walk on screen through the sniper scope and confidently shoot the hit. After he has been shot he will express pain, and his speaking parts will reflect this by breathing heavily and spitting his words.

Lighting
will be natural during outdoor shooting and largely natural during indoor
filming (as we will be shooting next to a window).
·
During
the tense part of the sequence we will use a lot of slow zooms in order to draw
the audience into the narrative. However after the Church street gang member
enters the scene camera work will immediately become faster paced, with many
handheld shots, and shots from different angles.
·
Titles
will be put into the sequence so as not to intrude into the scene. For example
in the black around the edges when looking down the sniper scope,
·
The
main influences behind this idea are the ending scene from "Casino
Royale" for the faster paced part, and thriller techniques from
"Shooter" for the more tense part.
