The location I wish to film my opening sequence is in a forestry area such as Richmond Park (as shown above) or Morden Hall park. This is because it helps create a sense mystery and isolation, which I wish to convey to my audience. I would also hope to film it around sunset/overcast as it would be slightly dark making it more thrilling.
The male characters in my opening sequence will be dress smart to represent a sort of mafia look. Mafia men spent their wealth on exquisite suits imported from countries such as Italy to represent their successful business organisation, even if this involved illegal activity.
The female protagonist in my opening sequence will be dressed smart but look mysterious, to send a sense of curiosity amongst the audience, of whom will be desiring knowledge to who she is and her purpose in the film.
There are a variety of different props I wish to use in my opening sequence. One of which is an old fashioned camera which the female protagonist will be using to capture pictures of the group of men. I also plan to use a briefcase which the leader of the mob will be holding. I will also include a fake gun (bb gun) held by one of the men
