Script and storyboard for film opening

The film starts in a dark street at night. Johnny is frantically running and we see shots of his face, feet, and long shots of him running. He runs down a dead end and turns in fear, we then hear the sound of a hoover and see its shadow against a wall as it approaches him. He screams and wakes up. He looks relieved as he realises it was only a dream.

The scene then changes to Dr Smith filling up a glass. He walks into a room with Johnny sitting down and he sits next to him.

Dr Smith "how's that?"

Johnny nods his head, not wanting to speak.

Dr Smith "right, lets get started"

This is the script for the film opening. I decided not to include much dialogue to try and show how serious he is about his fear of hoovers. Hopefully, the audience will find his fear amusing but I did not want to try too much comedy in the opening as there are very few comedies that have humour in the first two minutes.

Here is the storyboard for the opening:
