Improved Beginning Opening
Scene
Title Sequence, Demarco (Main Protagonist) is standing over
a case, a man comes up behind him and swings at him. Cuts to black during mid-swing (minor cliffhanger) (adds tension) and shows
the name of the main actor (lasts for 3 seconds), fades from black and Demarco is smacking the man’s
head against a fridge and then the screen cuts to black again showing the name of another
actor. Fades from black with them both still fighting eachother. (Many angle cuts and transitions, reinforces the tension of the scene). Quick camera movements (Shaky Cam). The men continue to fight in the kitchen. The man pulls out a gun on Demarco and then the screen cuts to black once again. We hear a gunshot as the last actor pops up on screen in the transition. The screen fades from black to reveal a bullet wound in the mans head. (Hinting at Demarco shooting the man before he was shot). Demarco walks out of the building with a phone pressed against his ear.
Demarco walks down the dark and dreary street with a phone against his ear. We
hear his conversation with his boss, Nikolai, who greets him and congratulates
him on his successful mission. We then cut to another man who is within the
building. Screen cuts to black and shows another actor but you can still hear
the conversation, Nikolai tells him that someone might be hunting Demarco.
Fades out of black showing the man who walks into the room where the fight took
place. Cuts back to Demarco who is walking along the street (Long shots to show
Isolation). Nikolai remains silent as Demarco stops and turns around. Demarco
asks for more information, he wants to know who it might be and what their goal
is. Nikolai replies with “It’s Matteo”. (Demarco worked with Matteo for a very
long time and became best friends, they fell out at some point)
Demarco begins to turn around on the spot, checking every
corner and roofline. He then begins to walk back to the fight scene where he
finds that the door is open. We cut to Matteo who is inspecting the case.
Demarco suddenly appears and runs up behind him. A fast paced action scene
starts and the criminal is choked to death, it was one of Matteo’s henchmen.
