General Idea for my project

     As I further progress in making my portfolio project, it is important that I write down my final idea for what I want my opening scene to be like. Although this is pretty much the finalized idea, I do expect to make some subtle and small tweaks as I progress in turning these words into a finalized video. I originally had the idea of making either a romance or sports tailored peace, but those idea where eradicated pretty quickly as I realized I did not know how I wanted to or even would do them in a quality manner. Instead, around a week ago I decided I wanted to make my final project one that leans heavily on both the action and mystery genres. 

    My idea is to make an opening scene for a ficcional movie titled "Cyber Monday" that is about experienced criminal who tries to hack into U.S. government systems with malicious intent. Since this is supposed to be just an opening scene for the movie, it is important I don't develop the movie plot that much. Because of this the general storyline of my opening scene is simple and to the point. The piece will start with a series of different shots and angles of a mysterious man typing away on his computer, the man will not have a visible face throughout the entire segment as well as he will be warring black gloves the entire time. After a little while, he will finish and click the enter key (close-up) on his computer. He will then take out a SD from his computer and the camera will make a close up on the ssd specifically. The man will then drive to a location, presumed to be a government facility and walk to one of the computers. When he arrives to one of the computers, he will take off one of his gloves are replace it with a latex glove to be able to better use the computer. He then inserts the ssd into the computer and hovers the mouse over a file. He clicks it and waits for the destruction he planed to occur. As he waits, he hears a sudden banging on the door. He frantically takes out the SD card and runs away. The next clip is him entering his car and driving away, but then the camera cuts to the black glove that he left behind, then the title screen. 

Although this is entirely my own original idea and it was not inspired by any opening scene in particular; My thought process on how I want this peace to feel for the audience was heavily inspired by the Apple TV series "Hijack" and the movie "Inception", suspenseful, unpredictable, and memorable.
