Thriller Opening Sequence Ideas

First idea: BURIED SECRET 

The film could be based around a love story where a couple are living together, however the man has disappeared and his wife has no clue where he is. As the film leads on the mans wife begins to find mystery items, For example keys, his phone and piece of paper with numbers on. His wife then begins an investigation to find out why his behaviour is very odd and where he keeps going which ends in being a big shock to both the audience and her, when we find out. 

The opening sequence could be the women getting a missed call voicemail off her husband on the way home from work In the car off an unknown number saying "hi love it's me I won't be back tonight" the women then gets home to find his car still parked in the drive way and his keys, phone and brief case still on the side. She then walks up stairs to their bedroom where she sees a piece of paper with phone numbers on and blood all over the floor. 

Second idea: LOST IDENTITY 

The film could be based around a young teenage girl who gets tortured by men who keep her in hiding for 3 years. Throughout the film we see her everyday life of being there slaves and having to obey there sexual needs and her struggle to finally escape. 

The opening sequence could start by a plain black screen with the title of the film it could then begin to follow the girl walking home on her own late at night after she has just been clubbing with her friends. We then see a car full of men pull up next to her and one of them get out and throw her in the boot. We then see the cars journey of driving out of the town they are in to a quiet secluded area where they reach an old little house on its own in the woods. Whilst we see the cars journey we here the diegetic sound of the girl crying and screaming in the back. As the men get the girl out of the car and carry her into the house we see them take off her clothes. At this point the screen will go black and the title of the film will appear again.

Third idea: INDICATION 

The film could be based around a killer who leaves clues to reveal his next victim after many times of doing this he finally gets caught but there is a reason as to why he left clues..... 

The opening sequence could be the killer standing over someone who he has just killed laying in a puddle of blood. It is late at night so as he sets off to leave he drags the body outside on the street for people to see in the morning and purposely leaves a piece of paper next to the body which reads " Next victim ... Blonde, small, blue eyes, wearing pink." We then see the man get in his car and drive off.

Fourth idea: U KNOW WHO 

The film could be based around a couple who have had a very acrimonious divorce and have moved away from each other, However the wife 3 years later gets a letter through the post from her ex husband which reads " YOU WILL DIE I WILL MAKE SURE OF IT, FROM U KNOW WHO " from this day on very weird things happen to the women which make the audience very confused. For example her bills go up, her tv is already on in the mornings when she wakes up and she wakes up nearly every night from hearing strange noises. She gets numerous people to check her house but every one thinks she is going crazy. The question is has her ex husband been living in her house without her knowing??? 

The opening sequence could start in the middle of the night where the women wakes up from hearing strange noises. She then realises no ones in her room so she can go back to sleep. We then see the women waking up in morning and getting her post from the door where she finds the letter, as she then walks into her lounge she realises the tv is on and the cushions on the couch have moved. We then see a close up of the women's face as she looks terrified.
