Soldier Sequence

I was planning to use this sequence at either the beginning of the film where it transitions in and out of the scene to build suspense alongside a heartbeat sound effects. However, i may use it later on in the film where my cousin is talking about finding a balance for work. Using this sequence may represent the difference of solider and civilian life.

Workshop Theory

Brief 1:

Title: 

Field Artillery

What is it about? (one line): 

A Soldiers first-hand experience on an operation in Iraq where him and his platoon come in contact with Al Qaeda.

What are you trying to say? (mission statement, moral of the story):

Regardless of the risks and what you sign up for as a soldier, once you are put into a life-or-death situation your whole life will change. You will no longer look at things the same, you could also say you may not even look at people the same. 

Technique and style:

Mixed Media (Motion Graphic, Paper Cut Outs, 2D and possibly Live Action) 

After Effects & Photoshop
