Initial idea for our thriller film

After initial discussion between the group we have come up with our first narrative draft. Our draft follows as...

The film opens to see a person rushing to unlock a door with a key drawn from their pocket. They unlock the door and half close it behind them leaving it slightly ajar. They rush through the hall way into the kitchen and hurriedly wash their hands there's sounds of heavy breathing coming from our anonymous person and the sound of their heart played over the film. They take a bag from the side and fill it with items preplaced on the side. The shot switches to feet walking up a drive, the camera moving to the back of the strangers head as they reach the door. The person looks left and right but not showing their face to the camera and push the ajar door open with deliberate carefulness. They walk in to find no sign of the first person. shot changes to their clenching fist. They take out their phone, speed dial a number and speak into it.

"They're not here."
...


The shot switches back to the first person who is now running, glancing all around as they run. Change shot to second person, taking purposeful strides sounds of their posh shoe's clacking on the pavement, change shot back to the first man running, his breathing is fast and in scared gasps, tense music starts to play to raise the tension, quick shot of seconds mans feet picking up speed, Back to the first man just as he runs around the corner and comes face to face with the second person and the first person steps back in shock with a panicked sound, eyes wide and pale.

PRO'S

  • No complex shots identified, so it should appear professional
  • Local locations and self provided costumes meaning we won't have to spend money, 
  • props are also are on hand and do not need to be brought 
  • only need 2 actors
  • set in the present pretty much so there shall be no worries of time period mistakes 
CON'S
  • Finding actors that look the part and CAN ACT - if you have rubbish acting in a film you will find it downgrades the whole quality of it.
