First 3 minutes

Project Conspicum: first 3 minutes

The beginning of the film starts with a zoom-in through an alley way for 3 seconds. Afterwards, the Camera pans between a young girl playing across the streets, and a close up of a wheel of a speeding car. After a few pans, progressively getting faster, but not too fast, the protagonist and a bunch of his friends come into view, the protagonist turns left into the same alley way, and the friends leave and say good bye.

After a few steps through the alley way, he stops, a crane shot beside him from his feet to his narrowing eyes. The camera creates 2 track-in zoom-out shots; one down the alley way, the other focusing on the protagonist. Dead silent, the camera looks down the alley way. The moment he hears the car going down the road, he brings out his arms and makes a “frame” with his hands. His eyes turn an unusual blue, and flame-like energy makes the line of the frame. As his hands part in surprising fashion, he zooms down the alley way at unusual speeds, the background zooming back (like light-speed in star wars).

The camera goes to a long shot of the car about to hit the girl, and the protagonist teleports in to save the girl, pushing her back onto the pavement, at the risk of falling over too. The girl says thanks and leaves as if nothing happened, making the protagonist roll onto his back with a rather disappointing face, having saved a life and got nothing out of it. A shadow looms over him, it’s his side kick of the film. They have a bit of a humorous conversation with each other, until the protagonist gets serious and asks for any leads. The side-kick pulls out a image from his pocket and showed a coloured photograph of a man doing the police mug-shot, explaining that his conspicum powers had caused untraceable incidences in the local area, thinking he’d be a good source of evidence about the antagonist. The protagonist gets back up and they start to walk down the street, continuing their humorous conversation, the camera pans towards the sky, and the Logo could be seen edited into the sky. The sky fades to black, and the logo shifts to the side, letting in room for the title that pans right. Any filter time is shown as presenting the makers and contributors of the film (AKA Trident Pictures)
