Mise-en-scene elements of Children's Film Production Opening Sequence

Costume: As the opening sequence only has one character and the costume that this character is wearing is very minimalistic, we only need a single black cloak.
We're using a black cloak for our costume for the one character because we are trying to emulate how mysterious the character is as you can't make anything of the character as you can't see any features of the 'person'. Making the character mysterious gives the audience the sense of the genre which is Fantasy/Adventure. 


Location: The location that we are going to use for out opening sequence is in a wooded/forest area, where it would be thick with trees and leaf litter on the ground.
We've decided to use woodland for our opening sequence to add to the feeling of mystery which is highly conventional in the establishing shots of any Fantasy/Adventure movie. Wanting to have a thick wooded area is so that we can use the silhouettes of the trees to cut the screenplay and create a more edgy effect. 


Props: The prop that we're going to use for the opening sequence is a Rubix Cube which we have decided to become the focal point of our storyline.
We chose to use a Rubix Cube for our prop as we though as it's a children's film it would be easily relatible for the children.
