Thriller opening - initital ideas

What can't speak can't lie

Scene 1 - Girl's house

Dusk. A girl, 16, is having an argument with her parents, she storms out, slams the door and starts to pack her bag, angry music is playing over the top of the scene and stops when she slams the door.

Camera pans across some pictures on a shelf, the first one is of her parents, she smashes it on the floor, the next one shows the girls 'war hero' grandfather, music changes to emotional, she looks at it then packs it carefully. She takes a deep breath then leaves her house (diegetic sound).

Scene 2 - Grandma's house

Dark rainy night. Girl knocks on the door, grandma lets her in and gives her a drink. Montage with same emotional music - they sit on the sofa looking at an old photo album, by the fireplace. The girl yawns and they set up a bed on the sofa because the spare room in the attic is full of her granddads old stuff.

Scene 3 - Grandma's attic

Bright sunny day. Grandma is downstairs and the girl is looking through the boxes, she comes across a box filled with war medals etc. and a strange, ripped, document about murders and kidnapping in Northern Island in the 1970s. She puts the two pieces together and finds something surprising. Dramatic music plays and the title sequence starts.
