Breakdown of the opening sequence:

• The sequence begins with a rowdy sixth form class room with a teacher slightly unable to control the class.
•  The focus is of a group of students at the back of the room talking. Somehow they get on to the topic of their greatest fears.
•  The camera would then track backwards from the conversation to a suspicious figure who with some form of gesture picks up on this, creating an enigma.
• Next the protagonist blacks out for an unknown reason as this happens it fades to black and the titles begin to appear on screen.
• The protagonist will then awake suddenly to find the room empty and trashed with tables upended and possibly fallen panels in the ceiling. 
• The protagonist would leave the room, the camera would face down a hallway with nothing at the end. The protagonist would walk in front of the camera then passed, with the camera in focusing down the hallway to reveal the figure of the protagonists' worst fear which had previously not been there.
•  The camera would wait around 5 seconds for the audience to see this then track the protagonist as he walks down stairs.
• Kinetic camera movement may be implemented here to help create tension and show that something may happen.
• On the lower level we see the same figure from the end of the corridor. the protagonist calls to it then follows to the end of the corridor to find no-one there. cross cutting between the protagonist in a close up and the corridor behind him sees the suspicious character appear again.
• The suspicious character will then run at the protagonist and grab him, he will whisper in his ear and fade to white.

Positives:

creates a lot of suspense and is easy to film. not many locations are needed which helps for practicality and maneuverability of the camera and equipment. not many costumes are needed for this apart from the proposed antagonist. I believe that this could be effective in creating suspense due to the fact the protagonist does not see antagonist until the very end of the sequence.

Negatives:

There is no specific costume that may be practical enough to fit the bill of the antagonist to make antagonist this suspenseful that we could possibly be able to get in time for shooting. moreover the amount of shots planned here would run over the 2 minute limit for the sequence which would make it impractical.
