Act 1 summary
First scene is max putting in different coloured contact lenses, this suggests to the audience that he is changing his identity for some
reason we are not yet aware of.

The start of act 2 is the time we are first introduced to Max as his past character and how his life as a hacker resulted in his death.
5. What is included in our opening?
- Max starts by changing his identity without the
audience understanding why.
- We then go to 1 year earlier to allow the audience to
understand why he changed his identity.
- To do this we will be using both a continuity and
montage sequence in our opening, to make sure the
audience follow the change in time.
- For example, close up of max putting in different
colour contact lenses to change his appearance.
