These are our 4 main ideas for our main task.
1) The first idea will be based on the story of a girl. It would start off with the girl in her house and while she walks around her house, the audience will be able to see a silhouette outside in the garden through the window, however, her back will be to the window so she doesn't see it. She eventually feels someone watching her, so turns around but sees nothing there. Her phone then starts to ring, which creates suspense and tension which is a key element in thrillers. At first, when she picks up the phone, no one talks but then it turns out to be her friend wondering where she is as she was supposed to meet up with her. She replies saying she'll be there soon. After putting on her coat on and leaving she walks down an alley way near her house as a shortcut. While she is walking, she hears sounds of footsteps behind her as if someone's following her but sees nothing when she turns around. She starts walking faster which builds tension and when she comes to a corner a man dressed in black appears with a knife, the girl screams and then the screen goes black. We can then elongate that and carry on with a police entering the office where his co-worker explains how there's been a serial killer on the loose and how three females have been killed and it is guessed to be by the same man. A picture of the girl who was killed is on the wall along with 2 other girls. We would then cut the scene.
2)The second idea we had starts with a two shot of a girl pointing a gun at a man. The man is shouting and asking for forgiveness and saying how they can discuss it but she replies with "there's nothing to discuss." She then pulls the trigger and the screen goes black while you hear a gun shot. The screen then cuts straight into the next scene of the same girl getting ready. Text appears on the screen saying '1 month ago.' The girl is shown getting dressed with contrapuntal, happy non-diegetic music playing. This would create confusion for the audience and make them want to keep watching to find out what happens. She's in a party dress which suggests that she's going out. This will help the audience compare her two different situations as in scene one she would be dressed in jeans and hoodie which shows how much has changed in the last month. The door bell would ring and the man who is at the door is the man she killed which would get the audience thinking and get them confused. They would then hug and they would have dinner together either at the house or at a restaurant. We could end it there or carry it on to the point were they've had dinner and he proposes to her which would get the audiences attention as she kills the man she seems to be in love with a month later. This would also engage the audience and make them wonder what this man must of done to deserve death from his lover.
3) The next idea is similar to the first but more interesting and more developed. This idea starts with a black screen but very loud, non-diegetic music. The happy music is ironic and contrapuntal as in only a few minutes she will be killed. As the camera moves up you get the images of the room with a girl getting ready. As you get full image of the girl, the music turns into diegetic sound and the loud music turns into music from her headphones. Throughout this scene, there would be names of the producers, director etc fading in and out. While the girl is getting ready, her phone rings and the music cuts abruptly. This signifies the change in the atmosphere and also creates tension. The phone call turns out to be her friend who asks her where she is. She replies and says she's leaving soon. She then carries on getting ready and leaves the house to meet her friend. She walks down a dark alley way/footpath as a shortcut but then hears foot steps behind her. She looks back but sees no one, but as she turns around to keep walking, she hears footsteps again. We would use a point of view shot for this scene as this would make it more effective and portray her emotions. She then turns around again and sees nothing but then loses her balance and falls. When she lifts her head up, as she is getting up off the floor, she sees a girl standing a few meters away from her dressed in a dirty white dress holding a baby toy. The little girl starts to walk toward the girl on the floor and starts singing ring a ring a roses. Throughout this scene there is just diegetic music of the wind, the girl singing and the girl on the floor moving backwards while still on the floor and saying things like, who are you etc. The little girl will ask her if she wants to play with her, to which the girl doesn't reply as she is too frightened and is thinking of how to get away. The little girl then gets angry and we will use another point of view shot to show the girl pulling out the knife and when she screams and closes her eyes the screen will turn black.
4. The last idea that we had starts with a girl walking into a shower with her clothes on. No sound will be used aside from the diegetic sounds in the scene to create a serious, eerie atmosphere. She sits down in the bathtub, hugging her knees and turns the water on and starts to cry. This will get the audience confused and interested about what's happening. Then she closes her eyes and we see a flashback. The flashback will be short and not very clear so it won't give away the whole story yet. It will be of someone dead on the floor but wouldn't show the murderer to give a sense of mystery. Then, the flashback will end and she opens her eyes. She then starts screaming and crying. This makes the audience wonder whether shes the murderer and regrets it or whether she witnessed it and whether it was someone she loves. The scene would end with her tucking her head into her knees.
