Thriller opening sequence brain storm
This brainstorm lists our initial ideas for the theme/ concept of our thriller opening sequence:
1. Pursuit/ someone followed/ voyeurism (e.g. in Vertigo/ sections of Chinatown)
2. Trick/ false assumption (e.g. like in American Psycho)
3. Conversation/ meeting of two people discussing corrupt plans (e.g. the opening of Leon)
4. Music-based opening (e.g. like in Raging Bull)
5. Following one person (protagonist) and their point of view (e.g. Layer Cake) => tracking shots
6. Montage of different shots of different things that seem unconnected => lots of close-ups, fading between shots/ no (or little) sound (e.g. like a short section in The Dark Knight - where The Joker has escaped from the prison cell and is driving in the police car) possibly with fast-paced editing and possibly also similar to sections of Sin City

Finally, we decided on an idea that is a mixture between ideas 4. and 6., with and opening that is music-based with no dialog and has two sequences happening simultaneously (that are linked).
