Our Opening Sequence- Overview

Our opening sequence is designed as insight into teenage crime and violence. It shows a character buy and handle a weapon with ease, which would both shock and terrify the audience. The sequence ends in the murder of an anonymous character who is both unseen and the reason why, is left completely unknown. This has been done to create enigmas for the audience and keep them asking questions that need to be answered. Then the set is changed to a restaurant/cafe and an over-shoulder camera shot is used of the murderer who is wearing a hood. Then at the end of the scene the hood comes down and the audience can identify the killer as woman, this again can shock the audience.

This idea is done to create enigmas and shock the audience into continuing to watch. Also it is done to bring in a different type of audience as most of the audience would be male so by using a woman as the killer, more females may be enticed to watch.
