Storyline
The opening is going to begin with white titles on a black background, which is very simplistic but effective. We are also going to have titles in some of the shots establishing the character. The scene is going to start in a graveyard where the lead character is visiting her sister’s gravestone, who she believes is dead but later in the film we find out she’s actually a vampire. The leading character can only remember the events of the last 2 days. After she has visited the grave, she then walks back home through the centre of town. During the time she notices some unusual things. People seem to be staring at her everywhere she goes but she doesn’t know why.
The storyline of the film is that at the beginning she is slowly turning into vampire. This happened 2 days previously at a rave when she was with her sister. Her sister died but she somehow managed to survive. The vampires are now out to get her as she appears ‘special’, but to begin with she doesn’t know, which is why she keeps getting strange looks everywhere she goes. Eventually, she starts to get flashback s of the night that she was bitten by a vampire and the brutal death of her sister by them. It is this that makes her want revenge and therefore leads her to fight the vampire race alone.

Underworld
In Underworld the narrative is about a war between Vampires and Lycans(werewolves). The opening sequence immediately starts with a fight between the two. The opening sets the scene for the rest of the film, as the weather is stormy and the overall scene features quite dark colours, often associated with the supernatural. This film shows a strong woman character as the lead, Celene who is a vampire.
In the opening, Celene acts as the narrator to begin with, explaining the conflict between the two species. We like the idea of having a narrative beginning to our opening sequence.
