A man walks into an office, you don't see his face, just from his hands holding his briefcase down to his recognisable shoes.
He is handed a piece of paper and a mask in an envelope, from someone who's face is also not seen. The audience can see a small list of names and addresses on the paper.
As the man walks out of the office, you see him place the mask over his face, the shot of this will probably be from behind, so his real face is still not visible.
It then cuts to a shot of a woman (who is coincidentally the first person on the list), after seeing what she has been doing for about 5 seconds, the camera focus pulls to a darkly dressed man wearing the distinguishable mask in the distance. The next shot is then of the woman dead.
This continues, but then, when it comes to the last person on the list, the method of killing is shooting, but, the killer misses the shot, and the chace is on. The opening sequence that the group are creating can then end here, setting the plot up for any given happening.

As you plan your scene, you need to consider how enigmatic your ideas can be. A man walking into an office, masked or not, is fairly obvious. I don't think you can slaughter a listful of people in 2 minutes without it looking either horrific or funny. Try to reduce the number of 'events' and increase the mystery.
