opening sequence development

The opening sequence focuses on the outcome of the film - it gives a taste of what is going to happen in the rest of the film. the sequence cuts from the kidnapped teenager to the kidnapper preparing for their revenge. The kidnapped girl (Jodie) is seen crying, dirty and is in a distraught way. There is a voice over of Jodie bullying/talking about a geeky girl (Alice). The conversation is one that happened in the past, before the kidnapping. It cuts several times to the kidnapper preparing, but there are also very quick flashbacks of things that have happened in the past for example, Jodie knocking past Alice in the corridor, Alice on her own. The flashbacks should be in slow motion to give an abstract effect. There will be eerie music throughout to build tension. The credits will appear randomly throughout the sequence. The title of the film will appear at the end and will be matched with a girls scream.

You need to analyse at least 3 different opening sequences. Explain that the trailer has only influenced you in terms of ideas rather than form.
