Film Proposal-Style and Tone

Style and Tone

• I want my opening scene for my film to be dark and sinister.
• This will be done using lighting and sound.
• The lighting around the location is quite dark already and so little light is needed, only enough light so that each character involved in the scene will be able to be seen on the camera. The lighting also need s to be enough so that the setting and location can be made out with the dark area.
• The Character of the victim in the opening scene needs to be quite scared looking whilst he is running through the building and holding the knife. The character is shook up.
• The Henchmen need to be sinister looking which will link and increase the tension for the audience of the film. 
• The sound will be sinister and suspenseful to enhance the Thriller/Crime genre of the opening scene for the film.
• The close up shots for the characters when in dark places should create a shadow side on their faces to enhance the dark opening of this film.
