I have an idea but I'm still really unsure of details. I thought it would be really interesting to do a documentary style opening. I thought a young couple in their teens or a single guy could be filming something with a small camera in a isolated forest area for research or something. He / they would have stumbled over something they shouldn't or have found out something they shouldn't have and are now trying to collect evidence because they know someone/something is after them. You would then keep cutting to very bumpy camera work and hear raspy breathing and the sound of crunching leaves in the forest sort of staggering/running( the villain). There would be a huge build up of tension (i know I'm being very vague, but i did say i was unsure of details) and at the end of the scene the villain would catch up with the guy or the couple and the camera would be dropped in a ditch and the whole screen would go static.
After that, i had the idea that you could cut to a scene about 3 weeks later( it would tell you this) during the day and you would see some feet stop by the camera, which by this time is quite well camouflaged, and see them pick it up.
I know my idea isn't very detailed yet but i really do think it has the potential to make a really original, creative thriller sequence.

ok some great ideas in here - really do-able many ways - but now CUT DOWN and focus in on one aspect - like the couple and a discovery in the woods. you only have 2 screen minutes and your idea is HUGE!! zoom in on one aspect and focus on the detail of that bit of your idea.
