My Film Idea

I think that in order to create a good film opening it needs to be both dynamic and interesting. Thats why I have chosen to go with the idea of making a horror/thriller opening to my film.

I decided to go with the idea of using a P.O.V camera angle (point of view). I wanted the film to be shot as if you were the woman in the film. The film begins with a flashback of a mother and child playing a harmless board game, whilst laughing and joking. At the end of the flashback the mother simply says to the child "you're going to take care of me when you're older aren't you?" and the child simply looks at her meaningfully. The setting then changes to the present day. The location is the same house that was in the flashback. The male who was once a boy is now a man, but he appears to be talking directly to the camera as if it was his mother. He looks at his watch and moves swiftly from the living room out to another room where you can hear rustling. The scene is then cut and you find yourself in the bedroom staring at the ceiling. You see the man appear over you (you are the woman). He starts brushing your hair gently whilst humming. Pictures fades out but the humming continues.
