Misty concept painting

Perhaps I have mist on the brain at the moment. I'd really like to advocate the importance of a wide opening shot, perhaps framed a little like this, very early in the film. Perhaps panning from here to a zoom in on our bandit climbing the back of the train would be more effective than having the whole train flash by close up. I'd like to be free with what we do with the camera and really film it like a high budget film. I want to achieve some challenging 3d environments but more importantly I feel that some stomach churning camera angles and an atmospheric setting will add another dimension to the film. Hopefully I can be a bit more usefully specific when it comes to storyboarding...
