The Opening SceneFirst is a tracking shot through a very expensive manor
house. (Handheld Steadicam)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpHGg6slWdgThis link gives a brief idea of our opening scene however
we want to track it from the open front door of the house going through to the open back door.

In the Garden
When we go through the back door we see a mother playing with her daughter and their dog. It’s a wide shot.
This represents happiness and laughter and shows an obvious bond between the mother and daughter.

In the Office
• An ECU of a hand opening a draw… in the draw is a gun

• The gun gets picked up and put into the trouser of the beholder, all the time not seeing the mobster’s face
![Page 9: Exchange Fri Nov](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58acd6341a28ab36288b5c0f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• We track the mobster to the window where he looks out the window and watches his family play… we see the back of his head and the main focus point is what's going on outside
![Page 10: Exchange Fri Nov](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58acd6341a28ab36288b5c0f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• It then zooms out and we see the mobster’s reflection and in the reflection we see a man with a look of terror, sadness and longing.

• He then proceeds to pick up a silver brief case and walks over to the desk where he opens it. The viewers don’t see what’s in it. This adds a sense of mystery to the scene

Getting into the Car
• We see a track shot of the man walking out his front door and getting into his very expensive car. He then drives up the drive and the shot is held watching the car accelerate up the drive.
![Page 13: Exchange Fri Nov](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58acd6341a28ab36288b5c0f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Back in the Garden
• We than see the mother and daughter again and then the mother gets up hearing the car drive out… the look on her face suggests she didn’t know her husband was going out. The daughter carries on playing unaware. In this shot you will see the mother and a looking space.
