Pre-Lim Opening.

For the pre-lim task our group wanted to stay simple and take on too much. To combat the complexity of some of the others pre-lim we kept to 2 rooms in school and 3 actors. Since it was most of our first attempt at practical use of sound (both diagetic and non-diagetic), cameras and editing we kept to basic but key skills that we knew would still have a strong effect.
The concept of the film was a loan gone wrong and how dangerous and sketchy the underground loan sharks are. The idea was to set up a opening that would leave the rest of the film on a cliff hanger and i believe this was done successfully. The way the debtor is abducted within the first minute of the opening not only shows how fast paced the plot could be. Another way we set up the rest of the film was though the dialogue and how each character spoke; we had the 'strong silent type' (both the guard and boss) witch shows how they are very professional and used to what they know do as an everyday 9 to 5, we also had the 'fidgety type' (dead man) who was careless and often un-aware (not to dissimilar to a child).
