Script for the film opening task;
1. Dark, moody sky to create a gloomy setting and atmosphere which is located in either a graveyard or something similar. The use of sad music whilst the character reflects on what he has done will add to the dramatic effect and also using sounds of birds in the background will add a more realistic point of view to the scene.
2. Main character stares at the grave stone using a longshot to display the surrounding area and for the viewers to establish the location it is taking place. Preferably using quite newish grave stones in order to provide a more modern theme to it.
3. Camera shot changes into a mid shot which captures the character in more detail but also the surroundings. Have the character dressed in quite dark modern clothing such as a long coat which can make it seem like he is hiding something from people, this adds more suspense to what is happening.
4. Use a close up shot t capture the characters emotions in greater detail, have the character appear sad and confused in terms of facial expression. For the background noise use the bird sound effects still but more like crows to add more variety to the scene.
5. Change the camera towards facing the gravestone and using a close up to emphasise the situation and for the audience to get a batter understanding.
6. Use a flashback in which the scene must be in black and white to add the thought of older memories. Film a guy on the floor as if he was dead and the main character had killed him, this then displays the situation and who's the grave belongs to.
7. Within the flashback use a separate shot/scene of what happened and how he killed him, adding more detail to what happened and it relates more to the current events.
8. Camera cuts back to characters face with a close up and character whispers "I'm Sorry" which will be the only dialogue used throughout the film opening. Music continues still.
9. Two more characters enter the scene walking down a path in the distance in which they are dressed in casual clothing to make them just seem as standard pedestrians. The characters begin to walk to the main characters in which it makes the main person realise who they are. Using a mid shot which could develop into a panning motion from the two guys to the main character.
10. Use a longshot where the camera is far away from the two characters heading towards him to get a feeling of where they are in terms of the main character.
11. The two characters continue to walk towards the main person and uses a close up of the characters hands to make it appear they have some form of weapon increasing the suspense in the scene. The music then changes into something more tense and dramatic to blend in with what's happening.
12. Camera cuts back to the main character which then moves down his body as he reaches his hands into his coat as if he is going to draw a gun.
13. The screen goes black with two gun shot sound effects and no music is used, the audio just goes silent for a few seconds in which it will then fade into the next section of the film. This part then clearly displays that is the end to the film opening and it should supply a rough idea to the story line of the film.
