Second Idea

    2.  Husband tried to kill wife because she took custody of children by setting the house on fire, but he got caught up in the flames, she escaped from her room and the house blew up so he was assumed dead. 

     A few years on, she starts having nightmares about the incident and she is having visions of him alive and keeps seeing him with a burnt/scared face. She tries to tell people and the police that he is still alive and is trying to kill her but they think she has gone mental so gets sent to a mental institute. 
     

     When she comes out it seems as if the visions have stopped, but one night she wakes up, goes to the toilet to find that the mirror has red writing “you should never have got the kids” and the children are gone from the house. She contacts police and they investigate and to insure safety they get an officer to stay in the house with her to protect her. The next night the officer hears something and goes looking round the house, the husband kills him and takes uniform. He knocks on wife’s door and asks to come in to see if she is ok and as she doesn’t realise the police officer is dead, she lets him in. While she is in the shower, he comes in and attempts to strangle her and he then slips and whacks his on the toilet seat and dies. The kids are found in a warehouse and all is good again.


Title sequence starts with wife putting babies into the cot in her room and doing motherly stuff that makes us connect to her. Then the front door opens, but we only see black shoes walking in. We have a close up of a cigarette and we then cut to the wife. The wife is upstairs and we see her in bed. The man then pours gasoline on the floor and we have a few faced paced shots cutting between husband and wife. As a slow motion shows him dropping the cigarette, she opens her eyes and we cut back to the slow motion cigarette hitting the floor. Special effects come in which makes us follow the journey of the fire and  the credits role over the top.

The only inspiration I had on this piece was the title sequence from "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", because I like the special effects of the ink trail and shapes it makes.



First Film/Opening Title Sequence Idea

1. Story of a girl who gets kidnapped from family to get experimented on for cloning because the clones body parts will then be sold to patients who need new limbs or transplants of organs. She is kept for a few months while they try make her clone but she isn't cooperating and so they need to torture her to force her to give up fighting the cloning process.  If her clone was made, she would then be killed afterwards anyway because otherwise if she told people about the cloning process, people will know where the transplants are coming from. 

She gets tortured, but she finally escapes to find that a lot of people she knows are just clones and don't know who she is. As she goes to tell her parents who she is, there is a note on the floor of the front door saying “If you tell them, you all die” and a few clones in disguise look at her and have guns in their pockets so she knows she can never reveal who she is. Based on Madeline McCane and inspired by I, Robot and The Island.

Opening title sequence shows pitch black the whole way through and the audience hears the whole scene. A girl is breathing heavily and seems distressed, then a man walks into a room and we hear sounds of metal scratching on the ground. We hear some dialogue about if the girl would give in or come to an agreement, but she still refuses so she gets hit with the pole and beaten up and as he goes to cut her, we hear a stabbing sound but it’s the man that screams. We hear running and a door slam open, we than pan up into white light to represent that she has escaped.
