We planned out an entire movie for a two-minute intro

Yes, I know this is just an intro.
Yes, Ricardo and I planned the entire movie anyways.
Initially, only the plot of the movie was drafted, scripted, and thought out. However, this brought up many,
many problems.We had no idea where our intro was going and we had to idea what to make our
character do, since we didn't even know who he was. Since we had no end goal, and the character had
no story, it was hard to write with a purpose. In creating the entire plot, we were able to make our
introduction more authentic and make it better.
Movie introductions are usually made to hint at the rest of the plot, and many hide "easter eggs" that
relate to the entire movie later on. Therefore, we would not be able to make this introduction without
writing out the entire story.
Without further a-do, here is our story:
Set in the 70s, our main character, Trevor Mazzanti works as a projectionist for his local cinema. He
usually overlooks romance movies and loves to fantasize about his life as a main character in a romance
film. However, he is unable to attain love. We realize he is a pacifist, and heavily opposes the Vietnam
War. He is dating a politician's daughter, and the politician unfortunately approves of the war. However,
this does not create much of a problem with Trevor.
Trevor, whenever he has a victim, cherishes them. He is kind towards them and resents killing them. He
tries to calm and soothe them, acting as a loving figure. Once he does kill them, due to frustration of his
victims not returning the love he believes he feels, he keeps boxes full of "memories" of his victims. Each
box has photos, teeth, hair, and other gross stuff you would never want to find in a box.
After he kills the politician's daughter, he is caught, and goes to trial.

With this plot in mind, Ricardo and I have scripted a great introduction.
