The document outlines initial planning ideas for the opening of a dark, mysterious film inspired by movies like Se7en. It suggests dim lighting from candles or torches in a dark, unknown location. Props could include fingerprints made with makeup or editing, a highlighter, paper, and objects like a knife or map. The antagonist would be shown in shadows, tracing words or objects in close-up shots. Fast-paced, flashing credits with red, black, and white colors are proposed to create suspense.
