Final Thriller Opening Idea - Singularity

Picadilly Circus, London. The streets are busy with commuters and shoppers, all bustling through. A man, dressed in smart civilian clothing and carrying a briefcase is one of these commuters in the crowd. He says not a word, but calmly makes his way through the crowds.

Unbeknown to him, he is being watched over. In an elevated position, a masked, silhouetted and suited man stands, watching the man make his way through. We can then see the civilian from another elevated angle, still being watched. This time, by another man, also in an identical mask. And another final man in shown to be seen doing the same. The men are then seen walking slowly and calmly off frame.

The civilian becomes more and more paranoid and walks faster, apologising to each person he bumps. The movements of the watchers can be seen walking past the camera and toward the civilian, creating tension. The civilian turns a final corner to be greeted with one of the watchers face to face, who gets his pistol disarmed from him. Suddenly, the civilian pulls a pistol out and holds it to the watcher's face, trembling in fear. The watcher slowly raises his arms, tilting his head to the side to show how smug he was. Why? Because the other watchers had jumped down and were approaching him from behind, fast. Silenced guns in hand, both with their heads tilted and taunting with their weapons. The man is then shot dead, suppressed gun shots from an establishing shot. It then cuts back to a shot from the length of the briefcase, overlooking the man's dead body. We see one of the masked men's hands grab the briefcase handle. The watchers are then seen in a deep focus shot, walking away from the body.
