Character Close Ups

In our opening scene we want to Introduce each one of the Main characters to the audience. We thought of the idea of doing this through a series of close ups on each character. On these close ups we want to freeze the shot for a brief moment and have the characters name and if they have one nick name. We want to play on the stereotypes for the 'Gangster Genre' and take influence from films like Reservoir Dogs and Lock Stock.

As part of an activity we were asked to do in class we had to re-create a Film opening shot for shot.
We chose to do Young Guns. We were actually given the opportunity to use the Green Screen, which I think will create an Impacting effect on the final product. This Film opening again used character close ups to introduce each character.
I like this technique as it gives you an insight to the characters personality and what they as a person might do in the film..
