I think that the idea for our opening sequence is a good idea. It follows the conventions of the thriller genre in that a young girl is kidnapped by a mysterious figure. This idea has been used in thrillers such as Taken which I think is a prefect example how a kidnaping can be the base and the subplot of a thriller film.
I think the opening sequence has an interesting twist, the flashbacks to the party the night before create an extra dimension. It gives the character, Hollie, more of an identity. She is a young girl who enjoys partying and having fun but pays for her wild lifestyle when she is kidnapped the following morning.
This sets up an enigma, it makes the audience wonder who she is and why she's been kidnapped. What could a seemingly harmless young girl have done to warrant being kidnapped? There is also the element of mystery behind the masked, mysterious kidnapper. You want to find out who it is.
