We will use a specific order for the credits within the opening sequence. It has to be correct, otherwise certain people will look to be more important than others. This is almost a hierarchy for credit order.

2x other supportign actors

All the other titles could be combined to suit our needs.

Scratch - Basic Story Plan
My thriller opening combines both present footage and flashbacks. It is one complete flashback - all in black and white, and it is meant to look like it is being shown on a projector. Between each shot, the credits will be shown in present footage. The film will be called 'Scratch', and each credit will be scratched into some sort of object.
Plan
A man walks into a big building, down a corridor. He walks into a room, sits down at his desk, and writes a letter, saying 'Its done'. He then smashes his wedding photo, which is sat on his desk. As he smashes it, a large bang occurs outside, and he is alerted. He stands up, calls out, and sees nothing. Suddenly the shady figure walks into the room, points a gun at the man, and a large stand-off occurs. Muttering is heard, then a large gunshot. The shot cuts to a man scratching a 5 into a tally chart on a wall.
