Narrative opening of The Missing Suspects

The film begins in a police station,where three police officers are investigating the murder of two victims and the missing of one victim which is the protagonist Rachel Brooke a seventeen year old college student. Rachel has been missing since February with her family worrying sick the police are determined to catch the suspects that haven't been seen for quite some time whereas there are 3 suspects and two unidentified. One sergeant is explaining the investigation to the other two police officers, within this we see images of two very attractive victims that had been stabbed to death, having the murders occur so close within each other its clear that it is a case is on going and fellow females could be in danger, from the heartless suspects. However this cuts to a fearful man who is yet to be unidentified dragging a bag aggressively across the gritty floor in a garage towards a car boot desperately getting rid of the evidence. He introduces suspense as audiences don't know what is in the bag, and keeps the audience guessing throughout the opening sequence. With a face so frightening and a body so composed he shows no nerves and emotions as he lifts the bag in the car boot, relaxed and calm he then zips the bag down, and we then see it is the protagonist Rachel Brooke. Her face being as white as a ghost we discover that that the police are too slow and have another dead victim, as the man leaves, he makes a call to his boss quoting ''its done''. Revealing the job is done and he has taken care of it. With the thrilling soft non- diegetic score music being played throughout the the film it lifts the film up by raising the enigmas for the audience and creating empathy for Rachel Brooke as she is dead, not knowing what she has done wrong.
