Darkness seeps across the concrete slabs. Blunt thuds creep down the alley into the shadows. The night shrouds an unknown man, adorning a trench coat that cascades down from his shoulders. He is on the phone to a petite woman, delicately putting blood-red lipstick on her soft lips.
"Now do me a favour. Mordecai; fetch me that bag and don't get caught" she purred.
Mr. Mordecai gave a grunt and put his phone away. Precarious and cautious, the man slithered towards the monolithic house's door, unsheathing a sword-like lock pick. With a few twists and jolts, he got in. Mordecai crawled around the house and located the bag in minutes. He recovered the bag and slipped out the house like a ghost. Bright lights caught Mordecai in a daze. Slinking out of the shadows, a beautiful woman materialised. A slit of red made a tiny chuckle.
"Miss Jezebel, what should we do?" a gruff voice growled from behind the rays of the car light. Smooth Miles-Davis like jazz plays.
Influenced by "L.A Noir" and "Double Indemnity", the opening uses low-key lighting to establish characters as sinful, morally ambiguous and dangerous characters who don't follow the social norm.
The costumes have been heavily influenced by the colours used in "Sin City". For example, we are planning on using a similar costume the female wore in the opening as it is red which is a seductive and powerful colour.
Our location has been influenced by "The Third Man" as the house we are planning to film at is an old house with a barred staircase in order to show German Expressionism.
