Test opening sequence shot and opening credits







For our opening sequence, I believe we should use the font 'Agency FB' and white colour for the film studio credit as it is minimalistic and looks professional against the black background- keeping the audience's attention on the voiceover and also because the font fairly 'thin' or 'sharp' - denoting the violent nature of the film. It is also font that might look/ or be associated with police/ government document font - which can be used to emphasize the crime element of the film. I think we should use a yellowy colour and shift the text to the middle right for the credits of the crew and actors/actresses in the film, as it stands out easier in the shot than the white would, so it is easier to see and understand. The colour yellow could also be used to establish a motif to signify danger in our film - as the hitman might drive a yellow car (which isn't made apparent yet through the opening sequence). However, for our actual opening sequence, the shot will be filmed without the curtains over the windows - meaning we may have to change the colour of the font to something darker so that it stands out. 

The camera is slowly moving backwards in a dolly shot from a one point perspective pointing at the door of the shop - showing the bustling road  and slowly giving the audience a sense of environment and setting and not giving them too much in the way of interesting visuals, which keeps them engaged on the voiceover- allowing it to build tension and character.

Missing from the video above is actual audio that we want to use for the scene, the name of the voice over who we want to use (as we haven't yet established who we want to cast for this role), who we will have before 'BETH OVERTON' as he is playing the main character and is also talking at the moment that the credit comes up. The lighting we will use may also be different, as the curtains will be down from the windows, allowing in natural light.
