We improved our animatic according to the feedback we got from our peers. One thing they said to improve was the soundtrack, they said it did not go with the vibe of the film but it felt more like a jungle themed film. We changed the soundtrack to a more gritty city based theme which goes very nicely with the style of the film. Another improvement we have to do is finish it which we did so the opening sequence will make sense. Now, the opening should make it clear on what is going on.

Location Shots

The first scene in the opening extract will be shown here when the camera will eventually zoom into a document with the protagonists name and picture on it. We want it to be based here as this location is based in a rural area and will provide a great opening. We may use a different location as we discuss the technical side of things when filming. However, this is our initial idea of where we want our first scene to be.

For our opening sequence we decided to use a urban house, in which the boss of the family, whose face is not seen will be located. We will use this location towards the end of the opening sequence when we are see the crime boss, as well as the various flashbacks which the main character has whilst running away. We decided to use this location as it seems quite normal and not dangerous, in contrast to the storyline of the film, in which the crime boss wants to hunt the main character down. We plan to use a close up and a medium shot within this location, as it is best suitable and you will able to see the crime boss of the family, whilst in an urban household. We also tend to use dark lighting in our recording in this specific location, as it is very mysterious and will not expose the face of the crime boss and will make the audience extremely interested in the storyline of the film.

Soundtrack

We decided to use this soundtrack in the end as we feel it gives more of a thrill to the audience and can fit in very nicely with the Action/Adventure opening sequence. I uploaded it to sound cloud so it can be used very easily and easily accessible for when we need it. Also, since its on sound cloud we could get comments to see how good it is.
