Narrative:

The opening starts with incidental music fading in and playing as the titles appear. Followed by this is a voice over with titles telling us how the film that will follow is 'inspired by true events'. Various shots are shown of suburban houses and some in more rural areas. As the final shot fades out a recording of a  911 emergency call is heard, from this the audience establishes how a woman called Jordan is in danger. While this is being played shots of what we assume is the crime scene later on is shown with kids in the background looking at and walking around it.
