Pitch for Thriller opening

The basic idea for our thriller opening is this:
We open with a Point of view shot, but the camera is covered, in this case showing the characters head is covered, so only a small amount of light can be seen. Heavy breathing and quiet talking can be heard in the background. The cover is removed from the camera, revealing the camera/character is being dragged on his knees through a remote location by two men. The screen is slightly blurred with a soft focus, as is the audio. As he is dragged along, another man comes into sight. He says something to the camera, though it is heavily distorted. A gun is pointed at the camera/character. When it is fired,we cut to extreme close ups of police filling out various forms, dialing phones etc. There is then fast cuts to photographs of crime scene, evidence and other objects. The sub genre that our opening will belong to is Crime Thriller.

Locations we will need include various deserted locations / derelict buildings. The main criteria is somewhere devoid of traffic/general background noise, so it appears as secluded as possible.

Our actors will comprise mostly of the members of our group, although we may need other people to fill in certain roles
