Writing our synopsis

In Today's lesson we started to think about the plot of our opening sequence. We started looking at the cross cuts, then we wanted to establish our theme and characters, we wanted to have a chatic a fast paced opening. We also looked at cosumes, lighting and music, all of these would inculde the intensity of the atmosphere in the city. Below we have wrote as a group the synopsis of the opening squence.

Plot of narrative action in ‘Karma’

The thriller opens with a view of the city followed by a fast cross cut to three robbers inside a moving van. Inside this moving van there is a tense atmosphere as the lighting is dim with the robbers getting ready by putting their masks on and getting their guns loaded creating a very fast pace. The sound within this scene is very loud with a fast tense beat. The robbers will be wearing all black with black leather gloves and black balaclava. We then concentrate on this scene, as it will be the main one of our opening sequence. We then cross cut to the bank with the police standing by waiting. The police will be wearing uniform and have body suits to protect themselves from bullets. They also will have guns and dogs, which will help set the atmosphere of the opening. We see a line of police vans and the sound suddenly stops and it is silent followed by a policeman saying: ‘Standby’. Then there is a loud sudden sound/music and the titles begin.
