Open Scene Narration
My thriller opening scene will start with pictures of a crime scene, with police tape, evidence of the killer and people investigating the crime. Someone is dead on the floor covered in a white sheet showing that they are officially dead and has not been identified yet to the audience. The audience can hear picture shots and sirens in the background, with some non-diegetic sound of eerie music. Then there is an interview scene with a medium shot of the antagonist, wearing dark colours. The police is talking to the antagonist however she is not listening due to the voices in her head, this shows that maybe she is going crazy and has something wrong with her mentally. The voices get louder and she starts having fits and cannot control herself, this builds a lot of uncomfortable tension for the audience. She eventually can't take the noises anymore and faints which fades to black. When she is awake she can hear shuffling noises and is tied down to a bed or to a chair in a room. The girl starts seeing flashbacks of the crime she committed. The first one is of her boyfriend dead and her sitting in the corner shaking and panicking. Then the scene goes back to her sitting on the bed again close up to her face to show her panicking after what she did. Then the second flashback shows her actually killing her boyfriend and ending the scene with her smiling and saying "Our love died so I guess he had to." This ends for the mystery of what she meant by that sentence.
A very brief description of your idea, I am sure you can provide a lot more detail on this...
