Film Brief

         We settled on a action genre for our 2 minute opening scene. The beginning of the scene we will introduce our unnamed protagonist and feature him getting off a train. He will be wearing a suit, tie and smart shoes. By having him dress in this it connots that he is a professional character. The character will be holding a briefcase that has quite a few close-up shots so the audiance knows it is important in scene. The protagonist will walk through the barriers of the train station which is when we have the first front-on shot of the character.

         We'll then have a few establishing shots of a forest or woodland area and a tracking shot of the characters movements through the location. A mysterious figure will be shown watching the character through the trees, shown in soft focus at first sothe audiance connot make out what he looks like, increasing thension. A close-up of the character will be shown as he hears the sound of the twig snapping behind him and turns to see what caused it. An extreme close-up of the man tightening his grip on the briefcasdewill be shown to reinforce to the audiance that his briefcase is important.

          After a few seconds of siolence, the focus pull of the shot will switch from the background (where the character is) to the foreground to show a crossbow bolt fired into a near by tree. The focus pull will rever back to the background amd show the character fearful expression before he beings to run away.As he runs several shots of the mans attacker will be shown, but never focus or always abscured be trees to increase the idea of the attacker operating in the shadows, not wanting to be seen. An over the sholder shot will show the attacker aiming and firing at the the man and will quickly cut to a mid-shot of the man falling ashe runs with an arrow sticking out of his leg.

         The man will shout  out in pain and willlie against a tree. A point of view shot of the mans perspective showing his wound and the otherman stealing the briefcase. The shots willinterchanged between the man trying to open the briefcase and the injured man. When the attacker cant open the briefcase he threatens the man, He eventualy gives in and tell the code. The attacker shots the man and uses his phone to call and says "the package as been delivered".
