Thriller Idea 2


After some serious thinking I have come up with another idea that our group could use for our thriller project. Below are the basic notes that the idea is based around:
 Pans from the grey, cloudy sky to the girl slowly swinging on lonely swings in the rain.
 Close-up of a photo frame she is holding in her hands (a gothic frame with the picture, black & white maybe -her and her mum/sister happy with the sun in the background) .
 As the camera zooms into the picture, church bells ring in the background.
 As the church bells ring, the scene goes back to when the photo was taken – so it looks like the girl on the swing is actually watching all of this happening, like a memory, but the church bells signify time passing and the past.
 Camera goes back to the time the picture was taken & as it was taken. Family are all together having fun.
 They start playing badminton together laughing as someone falls over (camera looks down on them, significant as this is later the victim).
 They depart and the victim is left to walk home on their own down an empty country lane.
 Camera then does a long shot to look at the victim – emphasizing that someone is watching/following.
 Mid-shot of shadow of person following.
 Mid-shot of victim as they turn around to see who is behind them, then close-up of their facial expressions of shock and fear.
 Close-up of their feet as they try to run away (and stalkers feet following), diegetic sound of footprints running behind and then a scream from the victim. No graphic view of what happens to the victim – increases suspense and fear in the viewer.
 Church bells ring again and the scene goes back to the girl on the swing, crying now in memory of the event (church bells act as a sound bridge on numerous occasions).
 She is wearing red and black, symbolises anger (red) and mourning and grief (black).
 Gets off of the swing with tears in her eyes.
 Camera follows her from behind as she passes a tree with a wanted poster on – suspect for murder of the person. Camera pans round once girl has walked away and focuses on the wanted poster.
 Straight cut to the eyes of the suspect on the poster.
 Fades into the determined eyes of the girl as she picks up a mysterious bag from the side and goes off for revenge.
 Title of the film fades onto the screen (‘R3V3NG3’) in place of where the girls’ and suspects eyes were.

Now I have thought of this idea, I will now discuss this with the rest of my group and any other ideas they may have thought of too.
