The Butterfly Effect

I watched the intro to this film today to give me ideas on how to start the film by showing the ending first. At first it shows a quote from chaos theory about how a butterfly can flap its wings and has the possibility to cause a typhoon half way around the world. The writing is in a white serif font on a black background, to make it look trustworthy. The quote fades out, then the opening scene fades in. music for the opening scene is composed using strings, The shot is in slow motion and the main character is shot through glass, the have blinds which distorts the man. As he bursts through the door it is synced with the music and it goes into realtime, the music kicks into a fast paced beat to go with it skipping back to real time.
While the main character is hiding under the desk and writing a note to himself, he sounds out of breath to show how he has been running from people. It zooms in on the page and as he is writing it out as quick as he can, he is mumbling the words to himself.

The colour correction for this intro is very dark to create the mood, lots of black grey and dark blues.
