Jasmine and I have roughly planned out our opening two minutes, we decided to talk it through and be 100% sure of what we were doing before we did our storyboard to make it as accurate as possible.
The first scene will be of a news reporter talking to the audience about a 'deadly virus' that has spread throughout Britain. The news reporter will be telling the audience of the news broadcast about a 'safe place' for the survivors to go to, she/he will have a pained expression on their face as if they are trying to keep it together but struggling. Our next scene will show our main character the 'survivor' walking through the woods alone and looking paranoid. Our character will then keep looking around them as the sound of branches snapping and leaves rustling are in the background implying that they are being followed by someone/something. Our character will then start to quicken their pace, after a short space of time the audience will see an infected person's feet tracing their footsteps. The next shot will be a mid shot of our character from the back, this shot will make it look as if they are being watched from behind with the sound of leaves rustling, this should create an eerie ethos and increase the suspension. The next shot would be the main character turning around and running through the woods, this scene will then be jump cut from the main character and the infected running. Our opening two minutes will then finish when the character either runs into a tree or into another infected being and the screen suddenly goes black and the title of our opening two minutes pops up onto the screen. I believe that this is a good idea to how a film like this should start, I believe this because the audience don't know a lot and so they will anticipate to continue watching, I feel as if we give away just the right amount during our opening two minutes.
