Sound
for our two minute film opening we will be using non-diagetic sound through out, we have chosen to use a classical song by ludovico einaudi - un un'altra vita. this will contradict our story line as we have chosen to do a modern take gangs and drugs. also the song builds up as it goes on this could lead the audience to build suspense.
Shots
We got our inspiration for our actual clip from the music video Robbery by Abra Cadabra, we thought that some of the shots really emphasised and focused on what the people were doing.
This shot is relevant to our opening as the driver is double crossing his victim, and this shot makes the man on the left look quite vulnerable as he is in the foreground of the shot, this makes him seem as though he is not relevant and is just there, and the man focused on in the front looks care free and calm as if he is chilled out about what will happen next.

This shot is relevant to our opening as in the beginning of it, it shows a close up of a phone, we got this idea from this video, this makes the character look laid back as if everything is okay, just checking his phone he's relaxed when really by stepping into the car he doesn't know what he is getting himself into.
This shot represents the boy in the beginning walking out of a " rough " area on his own, a car park at night is seen to be quite scary as there are lots of blind spots, and are now linked with large groups of people, so this could lead an audience to believe something could happen when in fact when he is walking nothing happens. so this misleads them
This shot just gives an example of one of our shots we will use in the car when both of our characters are in the car.

Location
LOCATION: Tanners Road, N18,
For out location we have chosen to use an estate this is because we felt that it fitted the story line well. Estates are stereotyped as rough and a bad area, the events that are shown in our opening are the sort of things that people associate with an estate, gang violence and muggings, although there is not a specific mugging in our opening our ending will leave the audience hopefully wondering if this was the next scene.

Jaws
Blood On The Beach
The sound in this clip is based on the sound motif of the jaws theme tune coming on when the shark gets closer to its victim, this is a good technique because it then sticks in the audiences head that if the shark is near or there is an accident about to happen then the sound comes on then the should brace them self's.
The whole slip seemed quite calm and playful as you can hear the children laughing through out the clip this scene is quite calm and relaxed, this does not prepare you for the fatal accident that happens. However the chief seemed very anxious, and the begging of the clip is very focused on what he can see and hear, he can hear kids screaming and having fun how ever there are lots of distractions as people keep talking to him so this gives the audience a little worry, but not too much, until we hear the loud scream, this leads the audience to believe something has happened as we are watching from the chiefs perspective however the rest of the people on the beach are still calm.

wire in the blood
In the short clip we watched from wire in the blood, the camera is very wobbly, this demonstrates panic in the female, this follows the stereotype that women are the main sex that worry and stress while men are chilled and relaxed.
as it goes on the footing changes, we see this after the man walks away and its a over the shoulder shot of the man walking away this shows us that he is now the dominant character as he is in control of the situation and she is begging him to stay,the over the shoulder shot, explains that the man is more important as you can see his whole body where as the woman you can just see the back of her head.
the next scene is a male looking at some evidence and putting the pieces together the shots are short and quick, this could show that his mind is racing, his thoughts are quick and the short parts of what you say just shows that he has a lot to filter through., and make sense of.
the next scene follows the stereo type that t woman rely'son the man as she is a single mother who needs a baby sitter so that she can go to work however this causes the next scene to break the stereo type ads the male character who is normal put across to be hard working and they dont look after children how ever this scene shows a different side to the man, the shot is a mid two shot of the little boy and the man talking, this shot shows that the scene is quite calm and the two characters are equal not that the man is trying to give his self any suppository
