First two minutes of my film

     At the beginning of the film we see the opening credits with slow, serious music, the background consisting of slow snippets of images of woods at night. After a few minutes the screen, the title appears fading in with the background and then fading out until screen turns black and the music fades.In the forest

     At the start of the film we see cigar smoke slithering in the air as it is held between a young man’s thumb and index finger. The camera stays at a medium close position where it is situated at a point ,looking straight at the smoke. It then pans out to look at the young man who is sitting on an antique red velvet chair smoking heavily on the cigar. From behind the camera, we hear a door creaking open as this happens the camera slowly turns to face the subject, a blond young man.
    “Oh, I didn’t say I was dropping by, did I? I’ve got something for you, Sam. The Archangel’s assistants gave this to me for you.”  This is what the man says at the door presenting a ring to the boy in the chair, but then places it onto a wooden desk. This is shown by an extreme close  up looking at the ring being placed, a non- diegetic sound of the ring’s heavy sound crashing onto the table. The camera zooms into the red ring where the focus blurs and in its place there is a distant photograph of a young lady in her teens standing near a forlorn tree where she is wearing a blue worn put top with faded jeans. She is staring into the distance, looking out the other way, where her hair is captured swaying in the wind and a beautiful smile is planted on her face. In the background there is a lake covered with mist and by the side of that a forest. The picture is taken in the daytime so there is sunlight streaming in. This stays like that for a few seconds and the picture is distorted and ripples like its a disturbed puddle. In its place the young mans fingers pick up the ring and look at it like it is something out of a nightmare. At this point the camera is taking a close up of the mans fingers until it reaches his face and then zooms out to display the characters emotion. I think this a good technique as the audience needs to know how he is feeling and why the object has made him feel that way. At that instance he flings the ring away like it is some disease he dosn't want to catch, this is only because he finds out the person he has to kill is Mellissa, his best friend who he cares about the most. We get a medium long shot of him sauntering backwards, he hits a wall and slides down. The next shot is a side angle of him mumbling to himself and his head shaking hastliy. ' It can't be her, It can't be.' This image of him fades and after we see him in his bedroom tossing and turning mumbling various words. The camera is coming from the front of the room and zooming into him in bed. The audince at this point should be quesitive by what's going on so at a random second he jumps up from bed and moans 'Mellissa' into the air, this is followed by the camera delving into his mouth and coming back with a womens mouth shouting for pupils to get to class, and this is the first scene commencing.
