Protagonist: - The protagonist would be a man in his mid 30s - We would be introduced to him at the end of the scene, when his face will be revealed. - However, he would still be present in the other scenes. Institution name: Conventions: - A medium pace could be used to portray the action genre, whilst also simultaneously creating an atmosphere of mystery as it would not be the traditional fast pace of an opening sequence of an action film. - A mix of low key and high key lighting could be used for certain scenes/shots of the opening sequence to illustrate the romance and mystery theme and the action genre. - The protagonist would be wearing a black, tailored, suit to to effectively portray him as an almost authoritative figure. - The name of institution/production company would be Full Moon Productions as it symbolises a bright night and therefore hope. - The name also symbolises creativity and wisdom, an imperative aspect of a production company. - Full moons are also very stereotypically tied with romance, mystery and crime and thus links with the genres and themes of my
