Following some additional target audience research we discovered that some people were unsure of the genre of the film. We thus decided to include an additional scene which we hoped would help give the viewer a clearer idea of genre - spy thriller.
The new scene shows the chased man two days earlier at a computer downloading data onto a disc (the disc which is later retrieved by the protagonist). This should help make the film look more high-tech, as befitting a spy-thriller, and hopefully explain to the viewer why the chased man was carrying a disc.
In this extra scene we tried to create tension by:
- Using short, quick editing
- The actor looking worried and looking around
- Shot/reverse shot of the watch to help emphasise the fact that time is short
- The soundtrack is tense electronic music
The scene is presented as a prologue/flasback and to present that I used a increased brightness effect.
The scene also obeys the 180 degree rule
