  • And a dark dramatic music in the background.

  •  Less or no dialogue, all conveyed through actions

  • The protagonist will be having an argument with his wife about their child on WhatsApp.

  • Gets fed up with the messages, throws the phone, and starts walking towards the restroom, and in the background, Michael Jackson’s song plays.

IDEA 3: 

  • Adding guns and other props in the first few shots to make it more catchy.

  • Some shots with jump cuts would be shown to emphasize action in a particular scene.

  • Non-diegetic sounds of gunshots will be added.

  • A shot in the crowd where the protagonist will be walking and having the looks of a mysterious and dangerous man.
