Potential location ideas

Locations we are going to use in our opening:

Alleyway

Dark Office

In our group we have decided to use an alleyway location because our opening begins with the hitman smoking a cigarette and dropping it in the alleyway. This then leads to our main title of the film, when we pan up to see the smoke in which the hitman has exhaled.

Once this is shown onscreen the hitman will enter the dark office where he will meet with the female boss.

We have decided to use an alleyway as it represents mystery as we’ll only see the main characters eyes in the alleyway until he gets in the office.

In our group we have also decided to use an office location to be in our opening. We will see this location when the hitman enters the office and the female boss (the dispatcher) will send him on his way.

In this location we will also see more titles appear on the blueprints and papers being put out by the female boss which has what the hitman needs to do.

This location is key as it sets the scene for the mysterious thriller in which we are going for. By there being a lamp on the light will be directed just on the blueprints and the actors face, not the background. Therefore, keeping the audience focusing in on the most important aspects of the scene, which represent our thriller genre better.
