Outline idea for the Two Minutes Opening Sequence - (Completed by Rizwana Jawid)

The first scene in our two minutes sequence will start with a wide shot at eye level as the main character walks out of his house holding his mobile phone, keys and a bible in his hand.

As he walks out of the door, he walks to the end of his driveway to see whether there is any one around or not. For this shot, we will use close ups to show the characters expressions and wide shots to show the location.

The main character then walks to the car and sits in placing the mobile phone and the bible on the passenger seat. Close ups of the door opening as he sits in will be shown.

After he places his bible and mobile phone down onto the passenger seat, he looks up into the rear view mirror and fixes his tie. For this shot we will use a medium close up/ mid shots. As he is doing this he receives a phone call from his daughter. A close up of his phone ringing will be shown. He answers the phone and has a conversation with his daughter.

Once he has finished having his conversation he slowly gets ready to drive out of the drive way. Whilst doing this he hears banging noises. At first he doesn’t seem to realise where the noise is coming from so he puts the car on stationary and gets out of the car. He looks under the car to see if any thing is there. Once again he walks to the end of the drive to see if it’s clear and then walks to the boot. He opens the boot furiously to find a girl tied up struggling to be let free. This scene will be shown with a shot reverse shot and close ups so show each characters expressions and feelings. As he looks at her a grin appears on his face, he shares a sentence with her and then punches her and closes the boot.
