1. These locations are the exterior to the house in
which the interior will be based. This outside
location will show the criminals for the first time
and the build up associated with the house
robbery. These outdoor locations will also be the
location for the chase scene that will develop
towards the end of the opening as well as the
location where one of the criminals is shot right
at the end.
Shot 2 here is important as it shows the doorbell
the criminals will ring in order to gain initial
access to the house. It also shows off the front
door which will be hounded by the criminals
during the opening as they attempt to gain
access and begin the house robbery. We
decided to use these outdoor locations as the
area is very wide nearby meaning we can
spread out any equipment and also give the
actors space to undertake the chase scenes that
will be shown throughout the movie.
Shot 3 shows off the landing to the house which
will be used for the initial attack on the woman
as well as when the protagonist runs down the
stairs and begins in chase of the criminals. We
decided to use this room as it is very close and
tight-knit meaning the action is happening very
close together, this will add further tensions to
the scene.
Shot 4 shows off the bedroom and the landing
part of the opening sequence. This area will be
the section in which our protagonist realises the
disturbances and runs down the stairs. We are
planning on placing opening credits on the wall
on the right as well as show off the Frame Within
a Frame media technique.
Shot 5 shows off the bedroom which will be the
location in which the protagonist is upstairs on
his laptop, this shot will show the normality of the
person as well as later his hidden abilities. The
bedroom also shows off normality and the colour
blue is a key connotation symbolising a relaxing
mood showing the viewer does not have to be
worried about this character in the movie. The
well lit room also shows off that this character
does not have any dark mystery surrounding
him. Shot 6 shows off the kitchen area which will
2. be used throughout the opening. We first see
this location through the window outside and will
be the area that the woman is located in during
the opening sequence. This area will also be the
location the criminals steal the item of jewellery
on show and where the viewers will follow the
lady until she answers the front door. It is a key
location of the movies opening sequence. We
chose this location as it symbolises a typical
suburban kitchen, it shows off the ordinary
nature of the area in which the drama is taking
place as well as meaning the viewers associate
their lifestyle and houses to this situation. The
objects on the side show off the ordinary nature
of the room.
