Thriller- Narrative

When we came up with our original ideas myself and Amy both suggested similar things which worked out well as it meant we could but our ideas together so that they fit into a 2 minute film. It also meant that less time was spent on planning and creating the storyboard as we had already put our ideas together and they fit really well with eachother. We both wanted to create an uncomfortable but realistic thriller opening that would make people feel on edge. We decided that our thriller would be based on a Girl and Boy that have had a past relationship and now the male character(Cameron) is obsessed with the female character(Abi) and his her stalker.

The first scene in our film is Abi in the shower while Cameron films her off his phone without her knowing. The shower is steamed up and therefore he and the viewer can only see Abi's outline.The scene then fades out slowly to the girl sleeping in bed with once again the boy watching her however this time it is from the window. There is then a bright flash which comes from the phone and is from the boy taking a photo of the girl while she is sleeping so once again doesn't see the boy watching her. The film will then quickly zoom out on to a white wall which will be in the room that the boy keeps everything to do with the girl in. The wall will be covered in photos of the girl from the past, when they were together and also from since he has been stalking her. All the pictures are different and involve her doing things such as getting ready, going out, being in the shower and just generally doing day to day things which a normal girl would do. The shot continues to zoom out until the viewer is able to see the whole of the wall in which is covered by the photos and also the back of the boys head so the audience can see him starring at the wall. After this there is an important flash back which the boy is happening which helps give an insight intc there past relationship.The flashback is of the boy and girl on a walk but it shows the fact that they were very happy and in love. It then goes back on to the boy now and shows him getting very angry and smashing everything that he has of the girls and doing things such as cutting up her clothes, this helps to show his emotion and how upset he is. The last part to our thriller opening is very important as it will be the first time the viewer will actually get to see the male characters face as it is hidden throughout the rest. This is because it makes it seem more mysterious and interesting as no one knows exactly who the boy is.His face is shown through an extreme close up and this will exaggerate his piercing blue eyes as they will take up most of the screen. The thriller will then end with the title credits where the title will appear which is 'Dark Past' this will be written in a smokey font to keep the mysterious idea going.
