Opening title sequence idea №2

 Movie plot summary:

This is a thriller about a 17 year-old girl, who got into a car accident, when she was a child, which led to a complete memory loss of everything in her life before that tragedy. When she woke up from coma, she couldn't even recognise the family she went back home with. Since then she was told to take a certain type of pills throughout her whole life in order to avoid severe headaches, that were a result of the concussion. However, being a teenager, she started forgetting to take her pills regularly, which led to the occurrence of flashbacks to the day of the accident. The things she started seeing did not match with what her family kept telling her for years. The girl got curious whether those pills are actually meant to suppress her memories rather than cure her. She starts to investigate her theory and finds out she was correct. The family she has been living in is not her actual family. She was kidnapped from that hospital 11 years ago. What is she going to do now? Will she confront her "family" about it or will she just run off? Will she decide to find her real family or keep living the life she has right now? 

Opening title sequence shots:

The scene starts with a blurred POV of the girl waking up (because of the accident she has a vision impairment), followed by a mid shot of her seating up and putting her glasses on. Close ups to the scars on her hands and face (from the accident again) should be present while she is in bed as well. A long shot captures her slowly standing up and "over the shoulder" shots (through such objects, like school books on her table, clothes laying around the room) introduce the audience to the setting, while the girl walks to the bathroom. A bathroom mirror shot shows the character's face and as she turns on the tab (close-up), she starts getting flashbacks. A mid shot from the mirror's POV, blurred close-ups, shaky camera movement capture the girl having a sever headache. "Flashbacks" to the day of the accident will be added here while editing. Mid shots from the backseat to the front seat, where her parents were seating, close-ups to the hands of the dad (=the driver), pans to the windows, introducing the location, close-ups to such details like the fabric of the car seats will represent the memories the girl has of that day. A dutch angle mid shot with a handheld camera movement should capture the girl reaching out to the box of pills she has in the bathroom. A close-up will show the pills and a following shot will capture the girl falling down on the floor and dropping the pills. A POV shot (blurred, because she is dizzy) should show how she is trying to drink one of the pills from the ground. A floor level dolly zoom shot should capture her finally swallowing the pill and a static low angle shot should show how she eventually collapses on the floor. A POV shot should show how she is slowly closing her eyes. The titles will be appearing throughout the whole scene and the name of the movie will appear on the black screen as the girl shuts her eyes at the very end of the scene.
