My Opening Sequence

The film will start in an office with windows and a big wooden desk. The shot will start in the office with a serious approach to establish where the location is and what the scene could be about.

The audience will see three men sitting at a desk wearing suits. One of these men will have a pocket handkerchief (JFK) - he will have the most authority. One of the men will be Nixon and another will be JFK. There will be an American flag in the background (for a sense of patriotism).  There would not be much dialogue happening, as they would be looking through maps. The clip will be based in the 1960’s and influenced by Mad Men (which shows what looks like an office looks like). The mood will be serious at first and then chaotic. The thriller

would have a conspiracy and political theme.

We would identify the characters as  the President of the USA, the Defense Secretary and maybe the Secretary of State. We would be able to identify the President, as he would have a triangle pocket handkerchief and a thin tie; he would also be placed in the middle of the two other men and he would have the most authority in the meeting.

The location would be in an office with a big wooden desk. We were inspired by the idea of Mad Men which is set  in 1960s offices.  The costumes would be suits. The props would be an American flag, a black 1960’s telephone, and maps. The lighting would be natural (light from the windows). There would be a wide shot camera angle to show the audience where the film is based. There would be 180degree angles when the three men where debating on what to do and there would be close-ups when the scene became dramatic.
