1. By Josh and Ollie

2. We decided to make our film opening based in
the crime genre, because some very successful
films we looked at in film history, follow this
genre. For example ‘The Godfather’ (Part 1 and
2), ‘Taxi driver’ and ‘Goodfellas’.
We thought we would make our film to fit into
the crime genre as this would appeal to the
modern audience.

3. We feel that films which are included in the
crime genre, bring a certain amount of
excitement and suspense to the audience
through the action which takes place
throughout most crime based films.

4. The storyline opening for our film, starts by
portraying a problem that has already occurred in
the starting action. The main character ‘Antonio’
has his life threatened by another man named
‘Hector’, who he thought he could trust. The
audience will be shown a flashback of the events
that previously just took place between Antonio
and Hector. As the opening progresses it is implied
that Antonio was set up by his brother Jason, after
Jason is heard talking to Hector on the phone.

5. 
Brotherly betrayal – We decided to imply
brotherly betrayal into our opening as we feel
this will shock the audience and therefore grab
their attention

Imperfection – None of the characters in the
opening seem perfect, but they all have their
different reasons for doing certain things

Crime aspects– Crime will be implied to our film
opening through the implication of illegal drug
activity and also attempted murder
