First Film Intro Idea (The Company)

General background/storyline:




A character that was once a hit man hired by a company that operated within that area. His job in the company was to track down targets and kill them for money. He has moved on later in his life reflecting on his terrible past and thinking about the people who he had killed. All he wants is to live a normal life again but that is not an option for the previous company he worked for as they wont let anyone just leave them. His only way out is death and they send out people to track him down and attempt to kill him. To finally escape the dead end that his life had become to he must take down the company he worked for by killing them all so they cant hurt anyone else.




Setting;


New/modern fashioned graveyard where the main character is stood over some graves staring at them and his past. For an effective setting and environment we would need moody weather in order to create a depressing scene.




Music:


Use sad themed soundtracks in order to make the grave scene depressing and sad whilst the character is staring that the graves. Could also use the same music once the two guys appear in order to try and kill the main character or change to more hyped dramatic music.


Camera:


Could use close ups of the main character to show his emotion and body language. Also close ups of the grave stones to show the people that he once tracked down and killed in his previous life.




Editing:


Insert text merging into the background and setting to make it more believable and real but not take out the whole reality aspect. Once the company appears to have tracked down the main character have them run towards the camera in slow motion to add a dramatic effect. The film title will be implemented after the people enter the intro which is then set off by multiple gun shots onto a black screen, with he film title fading in, like his past fading back into his life once again.




Lighting:




It is a quite dark themed introduction to create a sad atmosphere and depressing feel to it in the graveyard. A good time to create this lighting would be with moody weather such as cloudy, because bright sunny weather would create a totally different storyline and feel to the intro.
