Brainstorm Of Ideas For Opening Sequence

Idea number one:

The protagonist will be a teenager who is attending college but is an undercover agent and is trying to track down someone else at their college. We do not find out who the protagonist really is until right at the end of the film so it will not be shown in the opening.

It would start by the protagonist waking up in the morning ready for her first day of college, she seems extremely worried and tries to act as casual as possible when entering college for the first time. She then attends lesson and see's the girl in which she is trying to find out about. She makes friends with her and asks some unusual questions.

Idea number two:

The protagonist is shown at the train station with a mysterious briefcase, they leave the case at a spot in the station waiting for someone to arrive on a different train and pick it up. When the suitcase is unattended a young child discovers it and picks it up wondering what it is, and then takes it with them leaving the station. The person collecting the briefcase arrives on their train to collect it and when discovering that it is missing is very anxious and worried to where the briefcase has gone and if it has got into the wrong hands. Also, the audience is worried for the young child and what will happen surrounding the briefcase.


Idea number three:


The protagonist will be a teenager living a normal, fun life that any normal teenager would. One night she goes to a gig with her friend to see one of their favorite bands and is having a really enjoyable night before the crowd starts getting out of control, and her and her friend get separated and she is knocked out with everybody else around her oblivious. She then wakes up to what is years in the past, and not only has a new identity but a new body of an elderly woman. Will she ever get out of the body and return to herself or will she be trapped forever?

Idea number four:

The protagonist of this story will be a highly qualified surgeon, but during very important surgery he forgets all that he has learnt which leads to his patients not being fully recovered, and tragedies with the patients occurring because of this.

Idea number five:

A new baby is born into a family which is amazing news as not long ago a relative, the baby's grandmother, had passed away. When months go by the family realise something odd about their new born baby girl, she is identical to her grandmother. She looks the same, and everything she learns to do is the same as her grandmother. The whole family start to get a little freaked out by it and don't know what to do. They take her to the doctors in the end to find out a very strange thing has occurred which had never happened, even the doctors are stunned.

Idea number six:

Shots are shown (which are not made apparent) of the protagonist in an old dirty cellar, locked up against the wall with torn clothing, dirt and blood all over them.  The protagonist is then taken out of the trance and a shot is shown of her at the table eating breakfast in everyday life, and having a conversation with a friend/family member. The shot then cuts back to the cellar, and the scene is made more apparent due to the shots of which portray the protagonist more fully to the audience. You then hear footsteps going down the stairs of the cellar, and a shadow is shown of the criminal on the wall the protagonist is tied up against. There will be no sepecific past/present time separation between the two scenes in order to create this sense of disorientation, and confusion for the audience as they would wonder which is past/present and what is going on.
