From our test shoot I've learnt that the use of lighting will be essential. Our shots are far too grain in the test and so we will need to hire out the lighting equipment and learn how to use it effectively. We have aloso decided to completely scrap the phone call from the opening as we feel it doesn't add anything particualrly interesting to the sequence. I think this will allow us to use more shots at the beginning of the sequence, creating more enigma and suspense for the audience. It will also allow us to slow the first part of the sequence down so that there is even more contrast between the pace of the sequence at the start, to the fast pace after the assassination at the end.
I also hope that we could add some more iconography such as cigarsor cigarettes and possibly an older more classic briefcase you can see im movies such as The Godfather to add tradition and conventions of our genre. I think cigars would improve the mise en scene of our shots, with the fog of smoke lightly adding to the cold background.
A more suited briefcase of maybe brown or black leather would certainly add class to the shot, making our character look rugged yet sophisticated, heightening his importance.
