There are a number of different shot types/angles that I plan to use within this opening sequence. The main shot type being used will be POV Shots (Point of View). This is because I want the audience watching to feel like they are experiencing these events along with the main character and it also gives a different take on how other films start with their openings.
One shot that I really want to include in my opening sequence is the view from the CCTV Camera. This is due to two things. Firstly, I want to show the view of the character's life from the real-life perspective and show that the fight scenes will be as a result of his delusional mind. And secondly, it wont immediately give away any of the setting to where the opening sequence will be set. The CCTV effect can be achieved really well in iMovie but I'm still not totally sure if I can do the same thing on FinalCut.
The not-so-important shots will be built up of establishing and long shots. There will, however, be some mid shots and close-up shots that will be quite important. To see what the character experiences, I plan to have mid shots and close-ups during fight scenes not through POV but just within the experiences of being there within the character's mind, as the audience will later find out.
