Opening Plans

The opening will start with the main character being dragged unconscious into a room or open plan building by two other people, with possibly some unimportant dialogue, and being dumped onto the floor along with a bag.  It will fade to black for some titles, throughout this there will be a voiceover giving some back story.  It will fade back into the same shot with the person waking up and taking in his surrounding and finding the bag next to him.  He will open the bag finding a note explaining the situation (which the voice over will read out), some water, some food and a weapon which will most likely be a paper plane or possible something a bit more deadly.

Some gunshots will be heard in the background which will cause the main character to look up.  It will then cut to the main picking up his bag and weapon, walking to the door, opening it and walking out.  There will be some erie music probably low key piano music possible by the infamous Tim Minchin playing throughout the opening with some titles over-layed upon the video footage and some fading to a black out for the title.

Depending on the amount of time remaining it might also include the main character walking away from the building and encountering another player in this death game trying to reason with him and failing, leading to his first kill.

Audience feedback:

I have received a fair bit of audience feedback in person from friends and family all of them like what I have outlined above and think that it will make for an effective opening as it is.  A suggestion made by a couple of people was the possibility of seeing additional characters within the opening like someone friendly towards the main character.
