Planning for Thriller...

Planning – Initial Ideas

- Dark, scary, desolate
- Moped breaking down no one around
- Guy gets chased
- Kidnapped
- Filmed – Night vision or Black and White to create a different effect.
- Genre – Thriller sub genre horror/ mystery


Planning – Detail

Locations – Desolate locations – back roads, whitwell, cawston
Equipment – Mopeds, costumes (bike jacket, helmet/ casual clothes, dark black clothes for villain), camera (spare batteries, tripod)
Main Characters – Villain – comes out of hedge dark clothes, quite big, kidnaps victim. Victim – teenager on moped, messed up, mental, flashbacks, crazy, smaller the villain

Synopsis – first idea

Title sequence then opening shots to set the scene of area. Then same area again but with F1 like shots of the moped. Then the opening then goes into flashbacks that the teenager on the moped is having these flashbacks involve drugs, drink and sex. The flashbacks then get too much for the teenager and he pulls over as he can’t cope. With the flashback starting to stop he tries to start his moped and it doesn’t work. You then get a point of view shot coming from the hedges of someone watching him and thy get closer and closer and
that’s when the opening finishes.

Voice Over...

This is the voice over that we are going to have over the first few shots.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Do you hear it. That’s the sound… the sound of it dripping away. Time.

What’s it for? I’ll tell you what it’s for. It’s for doing the things that matter. If I could turn back the clock, I would. Turning back a page to change what I have done. The drink, the drugs, the sex. It’s too late for me to change what’s happened in my mind. I’m crazy, but then again, so is everyone...
