Opening sequence treatment - film making techniques

• In the same style as Trainspotting, we plan to use a range of shot types and editing within the part of our opening sequence where the protagonist is running such as close ups to convey the protagonist’s extremely paranoid and anxious expression, over the shoulder shots to show the sequence from different points of views, fast-paced match on action for continuity purposes as well as adding intensity and excitement to our sequence, wide shots to provide perspective. 
• We also plan to use camera movements such as panning throughout our sequence to make the audience feel more directly involved in what is going on.
• During the conversation between the protagonist and his girlfriend, we will use shot-reverse-shot to present the conversation from both POVs. We will also incorporate lots of close ups into this part of the sequence to show both characters’ reactions to what is being said. We plan to include lots of reaction shots to contrast between the two characters.
