The Plot

After the flush of insight that came when I finally formulated my movie opening I have since began to develop the rest of the plot. Although none of this will be filmed, because I am only creating a movie introduction, I still felt it necessary to create a full movie storyboard to understand my opening better. Even though I found it relatively unhelpful, I viewed several movies in which the story was told in a complex order because I know that's what I want for my film. Pulp Fiction directed by Quentin Tarantino is told in a very complex order, and I got inspiration from this to layout my movie like so.

When in my opening the spy character is shot down by the main protagonist of the film he picks up a transmitter the spy carried. Directly after the opening a flashback occurs in which the main character, whom has been a petty criminal his whole life, receives an offer from his cell mate to do private security for a major criminal. The movie then accelerates itself to the main character being rigorously trained to do the security job, and eventually finds itself exactly the spot in time when the opening ended. A scene after that depicts our main character being praised for killing the spy. However it becomes clear to the audience that our main character really wants to take down the criminal he works for. Subsequently he uses the spies transmitter to collaborate with the people trying to take him down, and successfully causes the doom of this organized criminal activity. Which brings us to the end of the film. It would likely be rated R due to inappropriate dialogue used.

My opening is strategically placed near the exact midpoint of the timeline of the film. This production technique in my opinion would make the film the most interesting, and created an especially interesting opening.
