Basic Plot Outline

The plot for our Opening Sequence is quite distinct in that it has certain recurring features; however there's a possibility some of these may be changed later on.

The sequence begins with a couple of shots focusing on Maggie looking out of a window to set a calm atmosphere; she then moves abruptly and music begins playing next to a fast-paced sequence of clips showing her get ready for her day; breaking the calm. At this point the second character, her boyfriend, is introduced, and to make it clear of their relationship he is sitting in their bed. The voiceover begins here; as Maggie leaves the house and we see her setting out to an isolated area to take photos; (the photos represent how Maggie sees things differently to other people; her world is seen through a different lense, so to speak, then the one others look through). The voiceover continues to clips of her walking, one of these clips will include a picture of a MISSING poster that Maggie walks past; this is meant to create enigmas. Maggie then arrives back home and her boyfriend has moved from upstairs to the downstairs dining room and we see his contempt for her erratic behaviour through his voiceover, and an exaggerated shot of him glaring at her camera on the table.

After this; there would be a cut to titles; and the end of the sequence.
