some inspirations
The lighting in this scene and the flash backs are inspirational the dark lighting highlights his position since Bourne is a man on the run its dark and not too bright this shows that he in fact is incognito; as our main protagonist is also incognito the way this opening scene is lit, could help us with ideas of how ours can be .
The flash backs in this seen are fast and fragmented, it is not just one looong flash back this could help us with the way we either edit the flashback ,or film it
in some of the Bourne films there is audio before the visual this is creative as it not just your ordinary flash back and we don't want our film opening to be boring and ordinary ;)
The music used in the scene is very good, as it gets more dynamic in key areas of the chase scene.
In the first scene (when the officers were after him) the lighting used is very good the lighting very dark and mysterious the cross cutting between the two scenes is appropriate and essential the fast editing helps create tension; the tension is also built by the music
in our opening scene the music would need to do this so it shows that something is about to happen. When Bourne began to run the music picked up showing the audience that something is about to kick off the music would change at key areas ; when he finally escapes the music settles and becomes relaxing showing the audience that he is now safe and we don't need to worry .
in this scene we see just how clever Jason Bourne is one thing that captures an audience is if the main protagonist is clever and has moments that make you respect them as a character
in our opening scene we could use some documents or hint to the viewers that this protagonist is smarter than his pursuers . in this scene we also see how Bourne is dressed he is not in a suit he is in casual clothing; i think this is more a realistic attire for someone who is on the run, than if he was in a suit; for our main protagonist i think it would be more suitable if he was in casual clothing . in addition he uses gadgets in this scene to open a voice activated compartment we could consider the props we may use in our opening scene .
