Story Development / Character Development

Today's the day, the day I finally announce my idea for my film opening. I will also talk about the 2 main characters that will be in the opening. 

The film will open with a hotel looking room. Papers are scattered everywhere with a classified stamp on the top corner of the paper and folder. In the panning, it'll stop near a briefing paper to give the audience his name and his mission. The camera will be panning through the room until it stops at a medium shot of the door. A man suddenly barges in. He's super paranoid and looks like he is trying to escape somebody. He is wearing a heavy coat to infer that it is somewhere cold. He packing up his things as fast as he can. He grabs all the papers and shoves them into his bag. He starts packing his things on the night stand when he stops to stare at a picture of him and his son. He takes a second staring to infer that he did what he did for him. All these papers with the classified stamp infer a government job. As soon as he's about to finish packing his stuff, he suddenly gets hit on the back of the head and when he hits the ground, the screen cuts to black. It opens with a POV shot of him blinking and 2 people in front of him. He seems to be in a warehouse or a garage of some kind. There are 2 women standing there. He wants to know where he is and wants to speak to the Pakhan. The 2 women say that he couldn't make it and they get to have the fun of getting information out of him. He resists and they handle it the hard way. Johnny walker screams and the scene ends there. 

Johnny Walker

This is my main character. He is a government spy who is originally from Washington, D.C and has always wanted to be a government spy. He is a medium height man who is in way over his head. He has a messy room but is overall an organized man. He has a dark color palette with whites and blacks to keep hidden when he's undercover. 



 Pakhan

This man is a bit tricky. Nobody knows his name but only what he goes by. They call him Pakhan which means boss or somebody at the top. He is the head of a mafia and that is about all we know about his position. He has an expensive taste as well. Cars, watches, expensive suits, and so much more. He doesn't drive his own car. He has drivers and security guards going everywhere he goes. There is not much on his mood board below because not much is known of the guy. He is mysterious and leaves not trace when he is done. He doesn't get shown in the film opening but is talked about in a way that solidifies the power since he had other things to deal with and couldn't make it. 



I am so excited to develop this story and film it and i'll see you guys next time!
