Ideas for thriller opening sequence

For our thriller opening sequence I propose to do a sub-genre, maybe crime?

Setting
I think setting the opening sequence in a run down area or part of a town would be good. An old, New York-style back alley with rubbish pouring onto the street, flickering lights and shattered glass to make the audience feel uneasy and uncomfotable with the area where the crime will or already has taken place.


Costume
Men's ACQUAVIVA Barathea Trench Coat Navy UK 46An old Italian-style trench coat worn by the muderer or suspected muderer in order to hide his identity and give a sense of mystery to the scene, Which should make the audience want to watch the rest of the film.
The Narrative
The opening sequence will centre around a crime or a murder. We could have the scene begining with a couple of gun shots fired in the distance and then focussing on a mysterious alley way where the suspect walks out and looks both ways and either legs it or casually tries to act like nothing has happened. The next scene cuts to the morning where two detectives are at the scene of the crime investigates and testing for finger prints.
