opening sequence mood board

I created a mood board for our opening sequence to represent my vision which can be seen below: 

This is a thriller opening sequence as it follows a number of the conventions of the genre. Firstly, throughout the opening an atmosphere of tension and suspense would be built as the audience would know that there is dark element to the film from the very beginning which would be built on throughout. Furthermore, the opening features a crime and establishes an antagonist. I have reflected this on my mood board, through pictures of a terrified woman and a dark, unidentifiable man which reflects the mystery and fear associated with this genre. Furthermore, including hand cuffs and a picture of a character's legs tied to a chair reflects the criminal activity that features in the opening sequence and also reflects the theme of torture and murder that features in the opening sequence.

Moreover, another key them of the opening scene of the opening sequence is the setting, a greenhouse, which captures one of the key aspects of the narrative, which is using natural ingredients, in this case poisonous daphne mezzanine berries to murder the victim whilst leaving no trace. Using scientific equipment including a funnel (pictured below) and a beaker reflects the theme of precision that is evident throughout the opening sequence.

Our opening sequence follows a man who murders his sister through a concoction of poisonous berries which leads to his discovery that he enjoys the process of murdering. My mood board features daphne mezzanine berries and a beaker that the poisonous mixture is deposited into. The mood board also features pictures of the duct tape and funnel that is used to pour the substance into the woman's mouth. At the beginning of the sequence, the man begins playing a vinyl on his record player. The soundtrack, which we are yet to decide on is also reflected in the picture of sheet music on the top left. 

The sequence features two characters. One of the characters is the man who is a murderer and plans and executes his murder in a meticulous fashion. He uses gloves, as seen in the mood board, reflecting his attempts not to leave a trace of incriminating evidence at the scene. The character also remains faceless which adds to the mysterious element of the opening sequence. 

The second character is a woman, the victim of the murder. Her movement is constrained using leather straps and handcuffs and her fear is captured through the picture in the middle of the mood board in which a woman is screaming.
