Final Idea

For our final idea we came together to collectively plan and discuss for the best outcome on something that we all agreed on. We all liked the idea of a crime thriller, due to its psychological elements while being open to wide range of different crimes which wouldn't limit our options and make the piece cliche.

After choosing our sub genre we wanted to make the plot ambiguous, so the idea of someone unknown throughout the shot was thought about, almost like a stranger/follower/stalker which isn't seen or known about to the audience which adds the conventions of edgy tension when watching. We then thought about the idea of the film starting off as a scene investigation in the dark, with a spot lighted pin board showing a person and somebody searching this. This person who is searching the pin board is unknown, so it could be a policeman, the stalker ect which adds the ambiguous tone to the film.

After this first section was thought about we wanted a title sequence, almost fictional like a James Bond opening credit sequence styled piece so this was liked and further planning on this piece will be thought about.

We then wanted further clips of the person shown on the pin board, so a section after the credit scene gauging a little about the character will be included and then something sudden to end the scene, like a build up in tension to the character disappearing without a trace. This further adds the needed conventions of a thriller to make this evident to the audience while maintaining our overall style of the unknown.
