Our thriller opening sequence initial ideas

We are hoping to create a psychological thriller.

The start of the thriller will begin with the murderer walking through a dark park with thoughts flashing through his mind like the exchange of a picture of his victim, past thoughts like being with a lover (who turns out to be his victim, which fits in the sub-genre convention that the protagonist has an Achilles heel, the love for his victim) and other thoughts, with the credits passing by in a fairly plain font, which is white and bold and will side on and off the screen. At this point in time the audience has not seen his face.


As he comes to the end of the path, we want to do a 360degree tracking shot around the murderer, stopping on his face, then a zoom in on his eye, as if going into his mind.

Once in his mind, we want to show the following murder, exactly how he wants it to happen, but then we want to zoom out from his eye, coming out of his mind, to see the reality of whats going to happen. The girl he's supposed to be murdering notices him disappears, and he is unable to complete his mission.
