Thriller Setup RE: Thriller Ideas

It was suggested to me that since I really like Science and will eventually study it further, that I base my thriller opening on something science related. I agreed, so here we are:

  • Fade in from white screen
  • An explosion has taken place in a Chemistry lab
  • Fade out to white again
  • Production co. and logo
  • Fade in
  • Camera is on the brink of being in focus
  • Girl screaming at dead bodies and people on the floor
  • Cut to dead body on the floor
  • People's clothes torn and burnt
  • Fade out to white
  • Main characters names appear in plain font
  • Fade in
  • People in various stages of waking up
  • Camera pans room [POV shots]
  • Camera looks up at light fixture
  • Light acts as fade out translation
  • Director's name
  • Movie Title
  • Fade in
  • Various people on the ground obviously not getting up
  • Someone tries to wake person [self]
  • Pulls person to their feet
  • Sees person trying to save recorded evidence
  • Someone else says 'Leave it alone, it's not worth it!'
  • Smoke in the air
  • Multiple images swim in vision [dizziness]
  • Broken windows are seen
  • Fire is seen on counter tops
  • Fade out to white
  • Co-starring

  • Camera is diagonal [45 degrees off] **called a Dutch Tilt**
  • Gives effect of being off balance
  • No music is playing
  • Sounds are of surroundings
  • Technique: all sounds seem as if under water [explosion affected ears]
