What is introduced/told to the audience in the opening 2 minutes of the film;
• The main character is a man.
• He's a professional killer of some sort.
• Sombre non-diegetic music is used.
• Limited amount of dialogue in the first of the 2 scenes.
• Low-key lighting.
• Diegetic, synchronous gunshots create a soundbridge from the opening credits to the opening scene.
• A handheld camera zooms out to reveal the rest of the setting.
• In the second of the 2 scenes you learn that the main character's name is Frank.
• He is moving on to another job. This suggests that the film is going to be about his new job.
What I thought of the opening sequence;
The opening 2 minutes of The Bodyguard hasn't really inspired me for my own film. The main character in my film will be a man, like The Bodyguard. One thing which is kind of similar to my idea is the use of dialogue. In the first of the opening 2 scenes there is very little dialogue whereas the second scene is a conversation between to people. In my flashbacks I am not going to have very much dialogue at all and then in the present day scenes I am definitely going to have dialogue.
