Location shots

The location shots will include varies scenes, the location will imply the characters type and their background. The location shot for a wealthy man in our opening sequence will be in a nice, luxurious house with a smart dress code. The locations will explain the character. Any location will not make an opening sequence look good so specific locations will have to be found, the locations will also have to be altered to either daylight or night. If the location takes place at night then the scene will have to be gradually lighted up to make the characters visible so the audience can understand who they are.

Some locations that may be used for our opening sequence: 

Police station:


Garage:
