Our opening

Our opening is Entitled Dark Truth. It will be an action/crime drama in which the key theme will be corruption. Conventions that we will try to create include Secrecy,darkness, shadiness and greed. The characters cannot be seen, all the viewer can see is their hands

The scene shows a dark room were no faces can be seen, a police badge is on the table, mysterious hands are counting money.

We have tried to include everything that an opening sequence contains:

• enigmas are created from the money and the lack of faces. questions like "who are these people?" and "what is the money for?"
• Establishing time and place is kept to a minimal to keep it mysterious. Mise en scene shows this
• The police badge shows it is a crime drama
• expectations are created that they will catch these men and figure out the enigmas
• The mafia and the corrupt officer is established here
• the equilibrium here is that this officer is taking bribes, this will be disrupted later as they will uncover what is going on
