Planning Extra - The Basics of our title sequence

What is the name of our film?
The title of our film is Visions

What's is it about?
The film is about a young boy called Ben Midddles who has a mental illness that is rare in society. He claims he is able to see how people will die but unfortunately he's the only one that is able to do that. His mother becomes increasingly worried and takes her son to the doctor for her to get an idea of how to treat him.
The doctor tries to convince her to send him to St. Anns mental asylum. The mother disagrees as she still sees him as a little baby that needs protecting.
She tries to help her son alone at home which has serious consequences for her.

Outline of the title sequence 
The outline for the opening sequence is that the mother and a doctor having a conversation about Ben - confiding for advice and support.  We see the boy noting in a book recording all the deaths that he has seen. We then see him in a classroom separated from other students as he's a person that isn't liked by his peers.
Then he is in a park and sees a person die and he finds out it was just a vision that will occur and the title sequence ends with the boy writing in his notebook.
