Opening sequence
Detective Brown and his team take their first look at the crime scene as a body bag is wheeled passed them. Detective William Brown walks into the murder scene with a camera in hand and a look of despair on his face, he slowly paces around the room trying to find any clues as to who is behind these sickening murders. As he glance’s around the room he see’s the vital clue that links this murder to the previous four, the hand print of blood, the victim’s handprint.
As the team moves in to assess the crime scene Detective Brown starts by taking pictures of the scene. As he walks over to the entrance to take picture of the drops of blood on the floor, the flash leads to the audience first flash back of the murder taking place.
The flash back shows shadows of the murderer walking into the room. The flash back stops as the detective continues to inspect the room. He then moves on to taking pictures of indents in the wall which leads to another flash back as the camera flashes.
The second flash back shows the murderer attacking the victim in the room; we do not see the face of the murderer but just how violent he can be. The flash back stops and the detective moves over the broken furniture where he takes pictures. This flash leads to show the struggle between the girl and murderer as she screams for help and tries to escape. As we come back to the room the detective walks over to the hand print of blood, as he mumbles to himself he takes his final picture. This final flash back shows the murderer leaving his signature mark by printing the victims hand in their own blood, before finally leaving another scene of devastation. The opening sequence ends with a final flash.

Plot for the whole film
Five girls, one killer, this small town doesn’t know what’s hit it. Detective William brown is making it his mission to find the murderer. With a lack of evidence, will this murderer prove to be too big for this small town?
Less than a year ago, Detective brown attempted to solve his first murder case, a brutal attack on a young 15 year old girl was just the beginning…
This film begins at the end, showing the audience the final murderer of a local university student. We see how this girl is brutally killed and left in her flat for days until Detective Brown finds her following a phone call.
We cut back to a year ago, and as the year passes by detective brown tries to solve these murders, he finds a reoccurring clue that may lead him to the murderer, a handprint of blood from the victim. This gripping story shows the lives and troubles of all involved. We see each girl’s individual story and try and see if there’s any reason to these murders. Towards the end of the film we find out that the murderer is in fact Detectives Browns long lost son, just craving attention from his father. This gripping story shows the audience the tragic event of a son just trying to get the attention of his father.
As William puts the puzzle together, the clues take him to his main suspect Tom Brown. Williams tough questioning becomes too much and Tom cracks under the pressure confessing the whole truth to his father William. William is in a state of shock as he finds out that his son has committed the brutal murders. He doesn’t know whether to follow his heart or his head, should he arrest his son and never have the chance to see him grow up or does he take this chance to be a part of his son’s life and help him to fight his problems?
In the end common sense proves to be too much, as William realises that there is only one thing that he can do, arrest his son.

Time lines of when title apear in an opening sequence
From looking at the three time lines of where title appear in an opening sequence, as group we decided on what order we would like our title to appear. We came to the conclusion that we would start with the Production Company and distribution company. The next title we would see would be the name of the film, we decided to add this nearer the beginning of the opening sequence rather than the end, as this would make it look more like a trailer. We would next see the names of the actors and finally the direct at the end to show the end of the opening sequence.
