Opening sequence..Thriller

 Lost and Found

About a girl who has just arrived home from travelling for the past 12 months, she arrives at her family home with all her suitcases and backpacks, she gets to her house and it's not her family living there and her family 'never lived there', the family who currently live there have no idea who she is and why she's there. But she knows it's her house. She further investigates this whole situation and is determined to find her family and locate where they are or who has taken them.

The opening clip will begin with this girl around the age of 21, walking up to her house (use the lodge) trying to phone her mum who is not answering the phone - using hand held camera movements as she is walking to her house -  and the girl then shouts into the phone "mum", "mum where are you, I am back" - very enthusiastic, she then attempts to try get signal using various different hand gestures. 

As she is walking up to her 'house' she notices it's not her car which is in the driveway and is very unsure and confused as to where it may be or why there is a different car there, but she just brushes it off and walks towards the front door, with her house key. She attempts to open the door using her key but it does not work or fit the key padlock - use close up of the key not fitting and her attempting to make it work - she then steps back and looks up at her house and calls 'mum' 'mummm..' 'hello' 'anyone home' - no response - using a long shot to show the entire body of the subject. 

She then proceeds to walk around the side of the house to try the back door and then calls up to her brothers bedroom, "Jake" "Jake!" - no response. She goes back around to the front of the house and bangs on the door aggressively - use point of view angle of her banging on the door. The door then swing open with an angry looking woman holding the door, "who are you", "what do you want", a shot reverse shot is the used for the short conversation which occurs between this woman and the young girl - "I live here" - The angry lady then proceeds to call her husband over and he approaches the door angrily, shouting "who are you, get lost", "we will call the police". The girl then is left puzzled and confused and replies "but..but I live here, my mum, my dad, Jake".




The opening scene then finishes with synchronous sound and the title appearing as the camera slowly exits the scene leaving the girl and angry couple standing around the door.
