Ideas for opening sequence of 'Black' - Part Two

After re-thinking our idea of our thriller film, 'Black' we decided that it would be more of a horror than a thriller. Also some of the filming may have been quite hard to film and the effects would have been difficult.


Here is the new idea for our thriller film:

  • A normal young person (15 - 20, depending on actors available) is cutting vegetables downstairs in their kitchen.
  • At the same time they are listening to the radio and they look at the radio (which is when the FLASHBACK starts, everything from this point turns to black and white.) The radio starts to turn off and make unusual sounds.
  • The young person tries to sort it out, but for some reason can't.
  • There are lots of unusual noises which they can here and then it suddenly goes silent.
  • The decide to call someone, the phone rings, but then goes dead.
  • The stop and listen and can hear nothing, nothing apart from a faint buzz (or other sound).
  • The camera will spin around them to give a sense of them being un-secure.
  • Over the shoulder shot, with the camera facing the door, then the character walks towards the door with the camera staying in the same place, then again the character opens the door with the camera in the same place. Music playing while this is happening.
  • Camera comes out of the door and faces towards the character who turns around to look for people/movement/anything. NOTHING!
  • House is seen with a door open and they walk over into it and the door creaks. Then SILENCE!
  • Loud noise comes from another room, (this could be a loud piano sound maybe, minor?)
  • Hand held camera and heavy breathing.
  • The lights flicker and turn off, and footsteps are heard hurtling towards the character.
  • The character runs with a man chasing him, only the legs and feet can be seen.
  • Also hand held camera for this section, and creepy music.
  • The character heads for a small room and locks themselves in it. (The music stops and SILENCE starts again.)
  • They open the door and see nothing, mainly because there is no light, so they walk out. Name of the 1st character on the door.
  • Some kind of weapon/object strikes them along with a sudden strike of sound. Name of the 2nd character comes up when the 1st character is hit, maybe in place of the weapon.
  • Black screen comes up with 'Black' in black font, so it can't be seen, but then has a white outline around it, which will eventually fade to white. Simple text, quick cut.
