Planning - Discrete structure images

While watching different openings of different thrillers we soon realised that the main structure we wanted to use is a discrete opening which involves highly edited shots of images that could be important and tell the audience something about the main character or what will happen in the film .

 The weapon of choice ?  

Maybe our girl main character has a fixation with hair and she snips a bit of before killing her  victim , the point is showing images of the weapon can make the audience really start to think .

Why is she holding a pair of scissors ?

What's she going to do with it ?

The Symbolic object

The next obvious image that will most defianlty have to be included is the symbolic object , the reason being is that the audience is only going to see two minutes of the beginning of our thriller we need to put objects in that will indicate the plot/story line so that even though their won't be anymore of the film to watch they would still want to watch it anyway !

The location of the killing or where the majority of the film is set

There could be some images of just the location , or maybe with our character in the location . When the audience looks at out 2 minute thriller opening they'll be piecing all these images togethere just like a puzzle . So if they see an image of our main character with a pair of scissors outside a church that could lead the audience into thinking that she's going to do something horrible near or in the church . It keeps them alert .
