The document describes ideas for three different genres of film openings: sci-fi, romance, and horror. For the sci-fi idea, humans meet aliens after their spaceship crashes and the aliens take them to outer space where they must try to get home. For romance, a woman looks through old pictures in a scrapbook and the last picture comes to life, beginning the film. For horror, someone living alone hears voices and sees ghosts behind them in reflections who want to kill them.
