Idea 1
I was inspired by a recent thriller called 'Anna' that is based on a mentally disturbed/possessed young teenage daughter who meets a specialist psychologist who tries to help save her from her step father.
My opening sequence would be set inside an old antique filled house when the psychologist knocks on the front door and meets the girls female carer. He is invited into the house, offered a drink, and begins a conversation with the carer consisting of a brief about the teenage girl. During this discussion, flashbacks are seen of short clips of past traumatic events of the girl's childhood. She tells him about her disturbed, yet secretive, past, along with the current details of her life, including the hunger strike and how she remains in the same place, in her seat throughout the entirety of each day. Once he begins to understand the situation, the carer leads him upstairs to the cctv room. The girls bedroom is surrounded by cameras, inside and out, in order to protect her. She proves that the girl stays in her seat all day by showing him some footage and the current live feed.
He then says that he would like to meet her. The carer looks worried but accepts his plea. He is then showed the way down a dark, creeky corridor. As he slowly walks towards her door, tension builds in music, and we are notified of the sweat on the doctor's brow. Finally, he arrives at the door, and reaches for the handle. He is surprised that the door has been left unlocked, but as he enters the room, his expression turns to shock, as she is nowhere to be seen. He looks and looks from same position in door way. Suddenly, the little girl tugs at his trouser, and asks, "are you God... or the devil?" in a faint creepy voice. The camera slowly turns to the girls face (closeup) which is frightened, but satanic. Cut to black. Faint scream is heard in the background.
Idea 2
My second idea runs along the lines of a mini bus full of children driving down a narrow meandering road in the hills of the country side. Shots of them excitedly driving to a school trip as well as shots of the info flyer on their trip, the radio, their faces, them singing, the bus driver concentrating.
Then we see a shot of a Lamborghini driving towards them. its going very fast. As the auto-vehicles drive closer and closer into each other, tension in the soundtrack builds. They crash, in slow motion, as we see the bus glide through the air, smashed glass filling the air, along with blood.
Then the cars both land upside down. The petrol starts to drip from the supercar. As the bus driver is helping the kids out of the bus he notices the petrol. First, he rapidly removes all the children from the terrible situation, then he runs to the lamb and begins work on helping the other driver out of his speeder. The tension begins to build once more with the beat of the music matching to the drips of petrol from the car. Gradually a pool starts to build up, then we see a shot of wires sparking nearby in the car. Cut. End here.
Idea 3
This idea is the most artistic and aesthetically superior. Set in the woods next to my boarding house, in an abandoned shed. No dialogue will be used. Intro is just stunning establishing shots of a man carrying a dead teenage boy's body through the woods. He reaches the shed and drops body in front of main door. (shot: close up of feet walking to spot, then body drops, and bloody face lands in frame). Then there's a quick time-lapse shot change to the night time and the man slowly walks into focus carrying lighter fluid/wood/etc. He then covers body in lighter fluid and wood etc and lights the body up in flames. Sequence continues with stunning slow-mo shots of flames in pitch-black darkness using all the different light/colours/shadows etc. Tension builds with classical music/strings. Fade to black. End.
