This document outlines initial ideas for an action film opening sequence. It considers either a spy action film or car chase film. Props like suits, airsoft guns, and briefcases as well as fast cars are mentioned. Locations in Dubai like the Marina and City Centre are proposed. The document decides on a spy vs mafia storyline opening with a villain character on the phone followed by a spy receiving a message, then a chase sequence. Title sequence ideas involve drone footage of Dubai with credits.

Images for Initial Ideas – Spy
Action
This idea is more possible
because I could do it in more
accessible locations and I
don’t need to many
resources.
I wouldn't’t need permission
from local authorities.
I would only need to main
actors
4. Images for Initial Ideas – Car Chase
Car Chase – Classic
camera shots used in
films of the same
genre
I would face
obstacles such as
traffic, police road
closures, crane shots
and getting he angles
needed so this idea
may not be possible
5. My Film Opening Idea Decision
• So the film will open with the villain character on the phone about
where to meet his contact. He will be inside a car and the camera
shots that will be used to introduce villain character will be close ups
of his eyes and mouth – not fully giving his face away to the audience
to make it more intriguing and attention grabbing, adding mystery for
the audience.
• Then the Spy will be introduced my getting a message on his phone
that his target that is in the near by area and details of his mission.
• Next the villlain gets out of the car to stand at a meeting point
• Next the Spy see’s the villain and a chase sequence happens
6. Title Sequence Ideas
• A series of camera shots from drone footage of Dubai and the desert
to establish where the film will take place.
• Then the credits of the film will appear, like Directed by Sameer Khan.
