Our initial ideas

November 17, 2016

As a group we re-told each of our 3 ideas and discussed possible thriller intros that would include elements of all of ours. We really liked Myles' original idea, and decided to expand on that with part of other ideas included. We likes his because it had a good narrative, and could be effectively filmed, and would look original. The initial plot decision was difficult because we had to decide between two different ideas. One way was to have the man save the girl, the other was to have the man not save her, and stay in the cupboard.

Everything in our thriller will be shot from under the bed. The main idea is to have a couple in a hotel room (initially talking, looking for a tie, getting ready to go out etc.), when they hear gunshots and shouts in the distance and question what they are. They start to panic, and the man goes outside briefly to check. He rushes back in, quickly pushing the girl under the bed in order to save her first. He just has enough time to hide in the wardrobe before the door gets kicked in and two men dressed in combat black. One shouts 'room service!', before pulling open the wardrobe door, dragging out the man, throwing him to his knees and asking 'is there anyone else in the room?' (or words to that effect) and shoots the man. He falls to the floor, staring at the girl under the bed. The men begin to leave, but the girl lets out a strangled cry, and a pair of boots stop, and walk back towards the bed, where the scene cuts to black.

We've spoken to other people about our idea and the feedback so far is good and has been constructive and helpful in how we do our thriller.
