Non-diagectic music will be played as the sequence opens into a dark room, setting an eery vibe.  The genre will be established within the first scene as an Action/Triller using blatant genre signs. The main character (Arthur) experiences flash backs, where we will see him as the superhero he used to be. The tempo will be slow and the scene will consist of long frames to express some of Arthur's emotions. In addition to this the flash backs will have a fast tempo with snappy frames showing the different shots are two different time periods. The contrast in the editing will show the audience the difference between the past and the present. The flash backs we see will give the sequence a more thriller feel to it, as it will be visually clear that these memories are haunting Arthur. The credits will appear through out the scene. The credits twitch and flicker in and out of shots to create a disjointed atmosphere. The typography will be in a handwritten font, as if it was found in Arthur top secret scrap book. We will see Arthur pouring over this book; the book triggers his memories. The first scene will not give a great amount of focus on the narrative as it will consist of a lot of flash backs.  The quick frames of flash backs will show the audience that Arthur does not want to remember his past, however this will also drag the audience in to the story as they will want to explore Arthur's story. Some of the flash backs will surely disturb the audience and won't be explained until later in the film.

In act 2 we will be introduced to one of Arthurs old friends, who he is, is a mystery. All that is clear is that he needs Arthurs help. Arthur has trouble remembering this friend as he has locked society out for years. This scene will consist of more flash backs as Arthur recalls backing out of the mental asylum with him. When this mysterious friend gains Arthurs trust; he explains his plan. Arthur will play a key roll in this plan, as the friend knows what he is capable of; the plan will fail without Arthur. When the friend announces his friend is in danger. Arthurs vengeful feeling begin to surface, when he makes the decision to return to what he used to be... The Agitator.
