Hello!
Originally, I was going to dedicate this post to 2 specific things, my protagonist's name, and stuff representing them / stuff in the opening representing them, but unfortunately, I cannot find a non cheesy symbolic name that works with a dystopia about memory and oppresion, so I will be solely focusing on the second element I intended on looking over.
Onto the actual details...
My character is meant to be an unordinary charcater, driven by creation that is limited tremendously by the central government's laws.
Some ways I want to represent this (as previously mentioned) is with items. A great example of a general item I can use is books, not just books, but stuff like journals, sketchbooks, music compositions, art supplies, all of these fall under that category and can be shown during the 2 minute opening as a form of character building. Also, certain lighting (like orange, warm lighting) can be used to create an emphasis on creativity, so can general colorfulness, but I will go over that more in a specific post about mise-en-scene later.
Our beloved unnamed character (who I will be referring to as Bob until I select a name for them) is also somewhat rebellious by nature, although I found this a bit harder to implement compared to the last element. The proposed way of including this specific element into my opening is to focus on disorganization and a disorganized form of living (this can also go somewhat hand in hand with the book items relating to the last element, as some of those can be used to give a feel of disorganization.).
On top of that, semi long hair (especially around younger individuals) can sometimes be seen as a sign of rebellious energy / nature, so that can also be implemented-ish ( since I myself may be acting, and my hair is sort of long )
