The main person in our opening is running away from something that can’t be seen. The man is wearing a suit and looks tired and messy, as if he has been up all night, this man then gets killed at the end of the scene. The camera angles will be a mixture of close ups, tracking shots and long shots, the long shots will be in bushes and as a shaky cam as if the unseen villain is chasing him.
The focus of our opening will be the ‘false hero’, someone who throughout the film will be the hero’s best friend and will then run away to save his own life. The audience will not know this character and will be confused to what he is running to/running away from. At the end of the opening we will have a shot of a landscape and then the sound of a bullet shot immediately cutting to black and that will be our end. This will give the audience uncertaincy of what has happened and keep them wanting more.
For the titles we will have cuts to black with shaky white writing just like in Se7en going through all the producer/director/writing, then after the bullet shot and it cuts to black red writing spelling out our film title will show. The bullet shot will prompt the audience to watch as it will be loud, and then they will see the film title and the name will stick in their heads.
The character will be running through grassy/park/isolated areas at night, in rain if possible, to create the scariest atmosphere possible for that specific opening. Within the cuts of the man running and the titles, there will also be small segments of a close up (of the gun) with a man reloading a gun and other things relating to the villain or the story.a
