Insight

I have at long last finally come up with my movie idea. In the process of brainstorming, I viewed movie openings across a wide range of genres. After viewing the Casino Royale (2006) movie opening, I gained an interest to having a partly espionage themed movie introduction. As I think it creates a good hook, and will keep the audience interested. Also characteristics of the espionage/spy genre are easily embraceable, especially those of costume design; a suit/dark clothing, gelled back hair, and a determined yet unphased facial expression.

My opening will feature a spy sneaking around a compound, moving carefully, and taking down some guards. The scene takes a turn when suddenly this spy character is shot down by our true main character, a henchmen named Joelle. Joelle then takes a radio off this spy character, and the opening ends with the title of the film, The Henchmen. My movie won't be a spy film but by using spy movie characteristics I feel it throws off the viewer, and creates an interesting opening for the rest of my movie.

The bulk of the film could be characterized by more of a crime, and drama movie. This intro is quite ironic, and relatively derivative of the dark comedy genre.  The audience is going to be engaged by this clip, and it will set the dramatic tone for the duration of the film. Within the opening I plan to include credits posed within the setting. Such credits like director, and actors names strategically placed could further the aurora of a spy/espionage themed feel until the shift of the spy being killed occurs.
