Michael's Art 328 Process

I would be hard pressed to try incorporating all the previously mentioned elements so I am going to just pick a few as it relates to my idea.

I want to build up the scene first like the original; I will introduce Joel and Clementine along with their new found relationship.
Using a cut-scene then freezing the frame and cutting them out of the frame. As we move through more sequences a buildup of collaged cutouts remain on the scene.

I intend to replicate this process throughout the first half of the title sequence. Then I would change the music to relate to what's happening in the now as opposed to the past memory. The titles would then appear over faces and blur out the face with an added red coloring and buzzing sound effect. A spotlight might appear on the text and it disappears.

For music I believe the original 2 songs work best:
James Warren/Beck - Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime
John Brion - Main Title
