Inception: Opening sequence

 Although Inception follows themes of the psychological-thriller genre as opposed to horror, its opening sequence still features multiple conventions which I plan to use in my own opening sequence in order to reflect the suspenseful theme which my opening sequence will feature, as well as a sense of the unknown and confusion. 
We aim for our film to be difficult to follow, and thought-provoking for the audience; analyzing Inception is a perfect opportunity to gain knowledge for how to create this in our own opening sequence.
Just by watching this films opening sequence will give us ideas on how to create a confusing and perplexing opening sequence due to the psychological genre conventions which this film utilizes. This film and our initial idea are parallels to each other as in this film we know that it is constantly switching between dream land and reality, and our opening sequence switches constantly between past and present. 
This film is going to give us an outlook on  how to successfully pull off a change in time period: past to present.
