Timeline of Opening

Now that we have discussed all of the plot of the opening sequence, I have decided to make a time line of the opening through the two minutes it will run to ensure that we are all clear with how the sequence will be conducted and what time each clip will be shown.

The sound to accompany these will be instant clicks to add emphasis when they come up on the screen.

Close up of Lucy's face with beam light shining on her, she will be unconciouss in this part.
There will also be fast paced cuts to name titles of two of the actors within the film whilst this is going on.
The music is again the clicks of when each comes up to accompany sudden change of shots.

the music here wil change and a suspenseful soundtrack will play whilst the flashback is shown
