Opening Sequence Ideas

General idea:

• Heist, Criminal movie.
• Inspired by movies like reservoir dogs and Pulp fiction.
• Following the life of an ex-criminal trying to go clean.

Introduction idea:

• The characters talking over the plan of the heist one last time.
• The plan is played out in parallel cuts.
• Eventually something goes wrong in the heist however the characters are still talking over their plan.
• The introduction of the movie is actually the end of the story.
• At the end the screen fades to black with the text "5 days earlier" or something similar.

Characters:

• The main character is an ex-criminal trying to go clean but is convinced into helping his old acquaintance with the heist, though he is very professional about what he does he is shown as very innocent and doubtful.
• The old companion of the main character is a cold hearted professional who is also very charismatic and calm.
• Extras may be used for additional people for the heist party.

Inspiration:

Looking at movies like Reservoir dogs and the introduction of Pulp fiction which have the characters talk like normal people when in-fact they are robbers. Also try to capture some of the 70's and 80's feel perhaps with music.
