1) The document outlines Sam Arblaster's plans for the opening 2 minutes of their action film coursework project. It includes planning for flashbacks of key scenes and 4 main scenes to introduce characters, set up a deal between them, and show the deal going wrong when one character shoots the other. 2) Scene details include shots of 2 cars pulling up to a container yard where the deal takes place, but it escalates when one character shoots the other after money is exchanged. 3) The following scene shows police officers at a station reviewing CCTV of the shooting and identifying a license plate number before the camera blacks out, ending the opening sequence.

IntroductionIntroduction
For my AS a-level media coursework we are told to make the first 2 minutes of
an introduction to a film which we are going to be producing. For my film
genre I chose action, I think it will be a challenge to produce a film with high
energy and adrenalin; however I think I can achieve this.
As the genre is Action, I decided to look at 3 of the following films;
Casino Royale
Die Hard
De Javu
I decided to take notes on the first 2 minutes of the opening to help with the
opening of my film.
