1^st Film Opening Idea

Soldier running through the woods persuade by two armed men. One of the villains falls behind and other continues pursuit, whilst trying to shoot the soldier and shoots his hip. When he releases he is out of bullets he drops his weapon to the ground. The soldier is wounded therefore he isn’t able to run as fast, the villain catches up with him tackles him down to the ground and punches him one with his right in the face and second time camera falls to the ground like of a point of view shot still hearing the punches in the background and blood trickling on the forest floor.

The first camera shot we shall take will be of the soldier running past the camera and then pan to the left tracking the soldier. Then keeping that position we will have the two villains run past after him. We will then go into a tracking shot if possible of the villains and the soldier. Then a shot just on the villains when one of the gives up the chase then one of the soldier still running. Then going back to the villain with a point of view shot showing the back of the villain and the solider, the villain who is still continuing the pursuit and tries to shoot the soldier and hits his leg so a long shot of the soldier being shot and wounded at the hip. Then back to the villain who goes to grab another cartridge but realises he has none left. So a mid shot of him dropping the gun. With a match on action of soldier limping and the villain catching up on him. Then a long shot wear the soldier gets talked by the villain. We then have a point of view shot from the soldiers perspective showing the villain punching him. Then the camera falls on its side show the blood from the soldier.

2^nd Film Opening Idea

The setting is in a wood in the middle of day, the weather is dry and over cast/fairly dull. A panning shot moves across the woods and switches to a long shot of another part of the wood, giving the impression of emptiness and isolation. Then the sound of footsteps becomes present and a man runs past a the camera, a jump cut moves to a shot from behind the man as he is running away from the camera. A gunshot is heard in the distance whilst a shot of the man running towards the camera is used. A collection of shots show him running until he stops to catch his breath and take in his surroundings. A close shot of his face shows his distressed emotions and sense of panic as he looks behind and sees his pursuer, briefly the man stares as the guy runs after him. The pursuit is then back on when the first runner is tackled to the ground and there is a fit as the last scene reveals the chaser.
