Narrative Action of Our Opening Title Sequence

                                        
Working Title: Target

  • Close up shot of an alarm clock, the minute ticking over from 6:56 to 6:57.
  • Mid-shot of an open window, curtains blowing and wind sound effect.
  • Wide shot of a table with many documents to do with money, maybe police, and secret papers. A pan around the table to a zoom in on ‘Top Secret’ on one bit of paper.
  • Close-up of feet sticking out the end of a bed, feet are then pulled into the covers. Pan upwards to hover over the man in the bed who is sleeping and then rolls over.
  • The outside of the house, an establishing shot to show location. The killer walks up to the house and we have a POV shot looking up at the same window used in the second shot.
  • The killer walks around the house and ‘peeks’ through a downstairs window, then attempts to open the back door and succeeds.
  • An establishing shot of the kitchen, followed by a close up of a clock and then  of a dripping tap, a fridge with ‘childrens’ magnets and photos on, and then a wide shot of the kitchen and the killer sweeps past the camera.
  • A shot of a hand on a stair rail and cuts straight to feet walking up some stairs, this is the killer.
  • When the killer reaches the top of the landing, he opens a door to a nursery, and then swiftly closes the door.
  • An over the shoulder shot of the killer looking down a corridor at a door, hinting that this is his ‘target’. He then walks down towards the door and opens it.
  • A POV shot of him peeping around the corner and finding the victim asleep in bed. We then see a shot of his feet beside the bed hinting that he is looking down on the victim.
  • Focus on the alarm clock, the minute ticks over and the alarm goes off. There is one hand fumbling to turn it off sleepily and the killer turns it off with one finger. Cut to black.
