Idea Change

After receiving feedback from our overall idea for the film opening, we decided to change the idea slightly in terms of narrative to create a more understandable story line as well as a better enigma.
The location and shots will still be the same as well as the similar narrative as the man is still kidnapped, but we now have to cast one other person. The colour palette will also be slightly changed as well as the sound palette as we will not use the music we included

2ND IDEA

The same tracking shot from the initial idea is being used, but now from the outside to establish clearly that it is a shop that the location is in.
The camera tracks through the shop, with closeups of various objects which could link to the protagonist or narrative in some way.
Over the tracking movements, the non-dietetic sound of voicemail recordings are being played, from the protagonists wife, daughter, boss, doctor etc. giving insight to the audience what kind of a person he is.
Like before, the camera shows the body using closeups shots and wide shots, he gets ups staggering and is in a dazed state.
He looks down and sees he has a drip in his hand, he pulls it out. This shows he has been drugged, the reason why he is acting like this.
Suddenly he stumbles to the ground, on his hands and knees, and a woman comes down the stairs, who is the shop owner and begins to look around for something, she very briefly acknowledges the man's existence but doesn't react to it, creating a strange reaction and enigma to the audience.
Seeing the woman, the man tries to crawl over to her and tries to make noise, which comes out as very slurred speech, which isn't understandable.
She ignores him and goes back up the stairs with what she was looking for, and leaves him in darkness.
