Initial Idea's:

We were very quick to decide on the narrative for our opening sequence as a group. However, for the record, I will post an idea I had in my head before we decided...


IDEA 1:
- Starts with man running down the street.
- He is being chased by another man. 
- Both are running very fast and jumping over objects - like free-running.
- The first man runs inside a darkened house and hides.
- The pace of the film slows dramatically.
- The second man enters the house where he is hiding.
- All very tense as each guy doesn't know where the other is.
- Ending: first man gets grabbed unexpectedly from behind.


IDEA 2: (Idea formulated by myself and Tom P)
- Man wakes up in a strange house.
- He has been shot, but not seriously.
- He does not know where he is.
- Is on the top floor of a house.
- Slowly makes his way downstairs.
- He is hearing noises but continues downstairs.
- Ending: He gets to the front door, but at that moment is grabbed from behind and recaptured by the villain.

Music/Soundtrack:

As I'm looking at music production as my future career, I felt that it would be rewarding to attempt as far as possible to produce an orginal soundtrack for our opening sequence.

I have already begun to record ideas and possible soundscapes for our film, but it is a challenge to compose for film when your only reference is a picture in your head.

I am currently working on two different styles of music which will be evident in our action-thriller:

- A fairly fast paced but suspensful motif for when our main character is running in attempt to find an escape.
- A slower, more ambient and atmospheric soundscape for when our main character is hiding from the hitman who is moving through the house.

Initial Ideas:

My first reaction to the brief was that I wanted to make this film look good and to do so, reference successful shots from other films and TV.

From the go I had in my mind to do something which had a face-paced section in it. I was fortunate enough to be put in a group where we were all very excited about the challenge of doing something fast-paced.
