Brainstorm Of Ideas

After thinking for a considerable amount of time, I have decided to structure my plot as seen below before I research the genre and storyboard my idea. This is a rough draft and will not be too specific.



The opening will start off with an establishing shot of Miami with a drone that I will use, then there will be a cut to the main character with his cell phone, playing an "illegal" game that consists of solving riddles and tasks around the hidden and "off limits" parts of the world in exchange for money. There will be a clue that leads the protagonist to the rooftop of a parking garage where he will find a loose tile, underneath will be car keys to a Mercedes Benz. The protagonist takes the keys, goes down in a rush to the lot in search of the car, while this is happening there will be very upbeat music and the beat builds up until he finds the car in glorified blue/ purple lighting, isolated from other cars seeming almost too perfect to be true. Impulsively, like any 18 year old who plays illegal games would do, takes the car. The music continues to be upbeat, many tight shots will be used in sync with the music as the beat has dropped and is playing up until there is a shot of a speed bump by itself as a symbol of importance, the car then goes over the speed bump and there is a abnormally loud thud that comes from the trunk. In rapid succession the music shifts completely to silence and using the sound seen on screen of the character pulling into an alley, to open the trunk and find a dead body as a bloody hand sticks out of a trash bag, indicating a dilemma where he cannot call the police to report this because of the illegal practices of the game and also stealing the car. This is when he realizes he was scammed/ tricked, and the opening would end there.

For the shot of the speed bump i want something like this:

I want the car shot to look like this but indoors and with more highlighted lighting with a blue or purple filter:

Things are subject to change but it will most likely be very close to this draft.
