Narrative:

One character, wearing formal clothes, preferably a smart suit, shoes and hat (james bond type). A lot of short, quick, some jilted shots that reveal very limited knowledge about the character (enigma's). Walking with some sense of intensity but casual, moderate walking pace. Some form of policeman, secret agent....however not revealed. The scene includes certain elements of monochrome, to allow a sense of mystery to the opening sequence. Character has a cigarette in his mouth to portray his rough image/swagger-like attitude to the audience, but still portrays elements of formality and intelligence.

Subgenre:

Suspense/Action Thriller. Use of close ups at certain moments to emphasise the importance of his character, as well as certain aspects of the narrative.  A POV shot is another example of a convention used in this particular genre, this allows the audience to see in either the main character or another characters perspective. Another common convention used in our genre is the use of bullet time, this adds to the emphasis on certain narrative points and also to highlight a key moment in the narrative. a common convention used in this genre is long duration shots. this builds suspense in the atmosphere and also creates tension, this could be used to create an anticlimax. A common feature included in the subgenre is the use of dramatic and intensifying, non-diegetic, soundtrack. We have included this in our opening sequence and will run throughout to create dramatic atmosphere and add to the tension.
