The document outlines two initial ideas for film openings - a coming of age story and a horror story. For the coming of age idea, it describes a scene of a student walking from a grocery store to school while listening to music. For the horror idea, it describes a scene of a boy walking through dark woods who is suddenly killed by a mysterious masked man. Both sections discuss potential settings, sounds, lighting, editing, and main characters for establishing the tone and genre of each story.
