Opening Titles Development 6; Storyboard Development of new idea

Our New idea involves a simply to shoot opening title scene of an assassin breaking the neck of a victim whilst constantly flicking to another scene of a pianoist who at the end of the opening is revealed to be the killer.

Main Task Names and Reasoning
Name
Reasoning
The Whisper
The masked murderer says something o the victim before he kills them. This simple title is not detailed enough to let the viewer’s know what happens, creating tension, and can be used to pique interest due to its simple name which gives away minimal spoilers. Since what the murderer says is inaudible, it can create even more tension with a title like this as you want to know what he whispers.
Sound
This can have a double meaning relating to the masked man. It can firstly relate to the thing he says to the victim, which is inaudible. This title makes it seem misleading so it could mess around with the viewer. Secondly, it can relate to the piano scene with the music, which is what the viewer mostly hears. It hardly gives anything away to prevent spoilers.
Drip
Refers to the tear on the mask of the murderer, but also the fact that he has blood on his hands. This title is more revealing but simplistic and only has implications without giving much of the plot away. It could be interpreted in sinister ways but other than that it gives away nothing, building suspense as people want to know the story.
