Intial Thriller Opening Idea

At first, we considered having our opening purely title based, without any actors, much like the film 'Se7en' (mostly computer generated titles, with only a small number of shots like CU's of hands, etc...), as when we watched the opening of that particular film as a group, we found it to be very engaging and thought that we should go for something of the same style.

As our skills with software that would allow us to create such an opening was very limited, we knew it would be hard to accomplish. With this in mind, we made the group decision of not using this particular idea, and going for one that is more footage based.

After much deliberation, we've decided upon a chase scene, whereby a main character is being followed / chased by a number of villains through a city (a scene common with thrillers). Additionally, we've decided to produce an action-thriller (much like James Bond and The Bourne Trilogy), as its a genre that every member of my group enjoys, meaning that we all know what films of that sub-genre typically include so we can try and incorporate such things in our own film.
