Characters For Opening Sequence

We will need a main male protagonist who looks around the 20-23. He will have to look rugged looking. We will need a few actors to look like the public, which he will have to push past. Apart from that we do not need any other actors.

Plot Outline For Opening Sequence

Currently our plot outline is as follows. The opening will start in a run down room, empty with a mattress. A man is in the room looking rough, when suddenly he gets a phone call. He answers then suddenly springs into life, running out of the room. He then runs through the council estate frantically, while he is running there will be various shots from different angles with the titles coming up on the many different buildings and walls. He then is seen running through Dagenham Docks until he finally stops, which is where his phone rings again. Finishing with a close up of his scared face in reaction to the phone call.

Soundtrack

We are going to have Non-Diagetic music with an upbeat tempo. Also we will sound mix in footsteps to add to the tension. Music will stop when the phone call comes in the dockyard. Sound mix will be used in order for the audience to hear what the person on the phone is saying.
