'Seraphim' Narrative

My opening sequence will be told from the perspective of William. The narrative would develop into a mix of outside perspectives as well as William's after the opening two minute sequence, which would allow the audience to get the impression that there's an oddity in William's point of view. Material elements will include a drain with running water, the jouney of the main protaganist walking through the city, the city itself and short images of the supernatural being remained still. I will have the films' title appear at the end of the sequence, which may make the piece seem like i trailor, but i feel that it's necessary as the next sequence of shots after the opening reveal a different perspective on William's life. So i thought it would be fitting to place in a split, so the audience would clarify a contrast.

I find that having events withing the story take place chronologically quite ironic. Excluding the possibility that flashbacks may take place at some point in the film, creating a non-linear narrative would blur the mise-en-scene. I want to convey the message that the oddest of things can happen in the most bland or straight frorward situation, and so, I don't think that it would fit in with the concept of my film; the main character goes through a journey and the audience need to see William's progress from a confused young man who has no sense of purpose, to a person of a higher calling and more purpose than he could imagine.
