Planning: The treatment

The action

The opening is based around a chase between a demon and an angel in heaven due to the demons breaking into heaven and hunting down the angels to cause them to fall from heaven like they did thousands of years ago. The action cuts from an interrogation to the chase and back again.

 Themes 

The themes of this opening is meant to be quite dark and chilling but also adrenaline packed to excite the audience and put them on edge throughout the opening hooking them in more and more. The opening will also explore old mythology of angels and demons giving the audience some knowledge in that area.

Narrative

The narrative shows an interrogation scene but then flashbacks into how the angel is captured. The scenes will be taking place in different time zones and there will be diegetic sound and non diegetic sound for emphasise of sound effects.

Character

There will be a demon called Cylus which will be wearing all black to represent the fact that he is a demon but in a modern way, He will act very sinister and will be very sleek and professional showing that he isn't this creepy deformed creature but he is a very formal sinister maniac. There will also be an unnamed demon which pushes the angel for a small scene and they will use dialogue to explain more to the audience and they will wear all black.

Setting
The location will be set in Newbottle woods as we wanted the location where we film to be isolated and enough space to have a small chase scene. We will be also using another location very close to Chipping warden to film the interrogation scene where it will be filmed in an abandoned house.

Mise en scene

The whole film will be brightly filtered and will have a heavenly feel throughout to emphasise the fact they are in heaven apart from the interrogation scene. When the interrogation scene cuts in the scene will be made to look as gritty as possible. The dress code will be for demons to wear black and angels white or bright colours.

Camera
We hope to use the camera in a very dynamic way to make the characters seem unnatural and ultimately supernatural. We hope to achieve this by showing them at different angles and in the chase scene we will show how much power they have as a supernatural creature. So the aim to show the audience the characters aren't normal through camera work and a few other slight hints to really emphasise this.

Editing
We hope to use the same thing with editing as we will with camera as we want to show these characters aren't normal and have extraordinary powers. In the chase scenes we will use short snappy fast paced extreme close ups and long shots to empathises their power and speed. Also we will use some special effects so we can make the demon show his supernatural powers such as extreme speed by using after effects to implement this effect. We will be editing the scene with a lot of lens flares and light intensifiers to make this scene really look like heaven. We will also show panning and tracking shots following a story. We will do this by showing the audience something which causes intrigue and then track across this and show how it happened. We are planning to show this by tracking across a puddle of blood leading up to the tied up angel.
