The document describes characters and scenes for an action thriller film opening. Ethan is a civil servant in London who has a close relationship with his colleague Melina. In the opening scene, Melina is kidnapped from her office by a group of thugs. Ethan chases after them on a borrowed bike. In the next scene, Melina struggles in the car as they pass landmarks. Ethan then gets a call demanding ransom for Melina's return. At the exchange, Ethan fights off the thugs and rescues Melina, though one thug warns their boss that Ethan and Melina survived, implying the situation is not yet resolved.

working Ethan will dress in suits
and ties, but when he has his free time

4. 
Wardrobe: Casual.

Both thugs will wear dark black jeans, T-shirt and a
leather jacket. When they’re doing their dodgy job
they will have this cocky attitude and strut around
like they’re something special.

5. 
Music is going to play a key part in our action thriller
opening scene. As being in charge of the music, I feel
that the music will vary with a lot of crescendos and
diminuendos. The crescendos and diminuendos will play
such a key part because it will create a lot of tension
within the audience. This is because crescendos start off
with low sounds which gradually become louder over
time and diminuendos start off with louder sounds and
gradually become quiet. It will give the audience a
idea that something epic is about to happen and be
very effective.

6. 
The action sequence is going to consist of a lot of music. The music is
going to unintentionally have an effect on the audience's
perception and change how the audience feels about watching it.
Specifically there is going to be significant dynamics. The dynamics
will help to grab the audience and ensure that they are engaged
throughout the whole sequence. The dialogue in the action
sequence will also have effect on the atmosphere. This is because
our possible dialogue will contain catchphrases and will help the
audience to remember our sequence. An example of this is ‘Steal
my name, not my girl’. This is firstly a great catchphrase because it
has been said in the way of a pun, and secondly, it shows the
characters priorities and gives the audience a sense if his overall
character.
