My personal Editing /shot ideas for our Thriller opening sequence

My Editing ideas:

These our some of my editing and technical ideas, I think if i share them with the team and we used them it would work quite well. I attempted to come up with continuity editing which was exciting but flowed well.
  • First shot needs to be the house (location shot,pannig shot of a massive house)
  • second shot of the nanny tidying away toys/books/gadgets...
  • Then its a shot of her in kitchen washing up and drying ( a shot from the side with running water) she hears a big thud
  • we film a close up of her reaction-she has to look very worried to trick viewer and create suspense because in the next scene we will be suspicious of her...!
  • Then we film a mid/long shot of her walking towards the door from behind -at a low angle ,we film her opening the door and shutting it behind her.Then from the otherside we film her pulling the door shot to make the ediditng seem as if it is contiuity editing.(cut to shot ahead of closing door mid way through action,continuity shot)
  • We film her walking up the stairs, do shot from above,infront and behinf-cut to be continious,look at whisper olivias hurtwood trailer for reference.
  • Film foot steps
  • Film her back mid/long shot and we see in the shot in the distance one of those children door signs on the door saying Sophia.Close up shot of the sign to tell the viewers she is enetering a childs bedroom
  • Then go back to a mid long shot of her by the door and her reaching for the door handle and turning it 
  • Film a close up of her hand twisting the door handle and cut to that to add continuity
  • Cut half way open door camera far corner of the room and films women walking in.
  • Film a close up of the women turning obviously to the bed ,film her looking at the bed so it is an eyeline match!
  • Now do a Shot of an obviously messy bed like someone has been taking and then a close up shot of her teddy lying on the floor.
  • Then film a long shot of the nanny from a low angle looking at her watch and then dropping a glass in an obvious way
  • Close up of glass smashing
  • Copy along came a spider shot of nanny calling for help " help me help emergency emergency . security at the gates do not allow any visitors in or out...sophia is gone and i think she has been kidnapped "
  • Cross cut to Sophia in car boot tied up with tape and then film someone slamming the car shut and cut to black.
