We are making a two minute opening sequence to a thriller film. A good opening sequence should set up expectations and introduce any themes and main characters for the audience and give brief summary of what this film is about. It should raise enigmas to keep the audiences attention. It should establish the location by filming shots and using narrative devices. From the opening sequence, you should be able to pick out the equilibrium which later will follow by a disruption.
Our first idea is an couple who are renting an old farm house for an holiday. One of them goes to the cellar tho collect a bottle of wine after a while the husband realizes that his wife has not returned from the cellar and goes down to see if she is OK. He then discovers a trial of blood leading to an old wardrobe, just as he is about to open the wardrobe, a flash of something comes towards him.
We have been influenced by different type of supernatural thrillers such as The Haunting, The Final Destination, Paranormal Activity, What Lies Beneath, The Others, White Noise and The Unborn.
