From this i already feel that its sense of mystery needs to be transferred into the opening sequence therefore at the start of the opening sequence it will begin with an establishing shot of a darkened street with only the lightening of the street lamps showing, the houses will then be slowly showed by a pan shot in which simultaneously low volume tense music will start to build up. It will then cut to a black screen in which it will hold for 15 seconds as the name of the production company appears.
From this there is then a telephone ringing continuously the volume gradually gets louder and louder again whilst this is happening credits will start to appear flickering on and off. Starting with the top billing actors in order of appearance and then going on to the editors and directors etc. Everything will then go silent, by alternating the volume of the music and its presence is building up this mystery and intrigues the audience. The silence will be quickly followed by an extreme close up of a phone then zoom out in to a long shot of the protagonist picking up the phone. A short dialogue with the main character and the mysterious phone caller. Only the main character will be shown by a close up so the caller remains anonymous. Meaning we already get an introduction to the characters involved.The dialogue involves the anonymous caller heavy breathing and then revealing an event which is going to happen leaving a terrified look on the protagonists face shown by a close up. A scream is then heard.
After the dialogue the anonymous caller hangs up leaving the hang up tone and again cutting back to a black screen this is where the rest of the credits will flicker on and off. The title of the film will the appear the hang up tone will then fade out.
