Broken Alliance rough cut

This is a rough cut of our title sequence. We put the titles on a black screen with white font and cross cut between the titles and two different pieces of action. This was inspired by Marathon Man, which we watched earlier on as part of our research. The aim of the cross cutting was to create suspense so the audience would have to think to try and figure out how the smartly dressed woman on the platform and the undercover beggar on London Bridge are connected. The device being dropped in the cup gives a hint but the viewer would have to watch more of the film to find out, which was the effect we wanted to bring across. We also got the idea of cutting from the images on the screen to the titles from the Dawn of the Dead title sequence which we found really inspiring. We wanted to have the element of time as well, like in collateral, so we included the shots of the clock to emphasise that the woman on the train platform was waiting impatiently.
