Film Opening Brainstorm

Notes:

  • Opening Credits will include title, director, editor, actors, and music contribution.
  • Director, editor, and possibly actor will be me.
  • if possible, it would be cool if I could get the credits to fade away into smoke
  • The theme is mystery, so the music should be ominous, but not in a horror way
  • Main character/protagonist/mystery-solver will appear first and the actor's name will be first
  • Colors are much more subdued
  • Backlighting/lowlight
  • Bit of confusion
  • The audience needs to establish a relationship/connection to the protagonist
Summary:

Since I am working alone, my brainstorming process is much less collaborative or extensive than other groups. Overall, what I want out of my film opening is a scene that evokes the mystery dynamic immediately, but not through the lens of a detective. Instead, the main character should be a very relatable character who does not have expertise in solving crimes or puzzles.
