Concept idea for opening title sequence 3

 My third idea is an opening to a thriller film in which an atmosphere of tension and suspense would be created and introduces an antagonist. The opening sequence would begin with a man in his garden collecting leaves from a strange-looking plant. At first the man would appear to be harmless due to his old age and his beautiful garden. However, there would be something much darker going on. 

 

The man would take the leaves from this plant into his kitchen and begin making tea with these leaves. We would then see close-up shots of him washing his hands and taking off the gloves which would accompany an eerie non-diegetic soundtrack, indicating that something is not quite right. The man would then walk into the living room of the house and place the tea on the coffee table before serving a cup for his guest, a woman of roughly the same age. The opening would end with her taking a sip of the tea. 

The man would be wearing a baggy trousers and wellies with a fleece and a close- up shot of his wrinkled hands would reveal his age. However, his face would not be revealed in order to create a sense of mystery around him. The woman would wear a tea dress and a cardigan resembling the style in the picture below.

The rest of the film would follow the man, a secret serial killer and the disappearance of several people in a small village.
