Theme board done by Felix

 Most of our opening sequence is going to take place in the studio however there is about 20 seconds of fottage at the start and about 10 at the end that are not in the studio so we have started looking at ideas for where these clips will take place.

We want the sequence to open with a bold and daunting opening shot with the boss's car pulling up and him getting out. For this we think Hurtwood house would work great providing we can get the cars out of the way. The rest of the shots would also take place in the building. We thought for a potential close up of the Boss's face we could do it from the side so it would capture the horizon in the backgroud which could look quite nice. 

(Veiw that we thought would work for the side shot of the Boss)

                                    

For the inside shots we have Seen three shots we like the idea of. The first would be the Boss walking with haste through some double doors as it gives off a powerful feel. The the next shot would be him walking around a corner which looks quite old (the board would be taken down). The corridor looking old would help to create the effect of this being a secret and forgotten place under this house. The third shot would be from the other side of an indoor window of the Boss walking down some stairs as if going into a bunker - wjhere his control room is. It would then cut to The poker room.

(Left and below are Door we thought would work well for having the Boss burst through)

(corridor we thought would work for a shot as with the blue board taken out it could look aged and slightly earrie)

(Shot idea for the final shot of the Boos moving throught the house -him going down these stairs into his control room)

The second option is a much smaller room with just one screen. This one is apealing as it has already got the disired lighting effects and could work nicely as it looks more secretive. The problems are the fact it is a very small space so there is not alot of room to work with.

I think its definatly more likely we will go with the first of the two options as this is the room that is more flexible to use and also the things it doesnt have that option two has can we worked around easily.
