New Storyline:
After the tough decision of changing the thriller opening completely we finally decided today what the new storyline was going to consist of. We discussed different ideas in the group and improvement were suggested throughout.
The storyline that we have decided to go with is:
The mum walks down the road and comes into her house after a long day of work. She has recently divorced her husband who she had 2 children with (Alice and Jack). She opens the door, throws her bag down and sighs. She yells for her children upstairs and gets no answer. Her eyes are immediately drawn to a note on the kitchen side, which says “out with dad be back soon – Alice and Jack”.
This behaviour is expected of Harry (the father), as he is known to be irresponsible and want to have the kids all of the time. She therefore shrugs it off and continues with her normal activities after work. She cooks her self some food and sits alone at the table.
After she is finished, she starts working on her laptop with a glass of wine in her hand.
She walks into the living room and puts on the TV. However, she is disrupted by a loud knock on the door. She slowly gets up to go to the door sighing as she walks. She opens the door to find her ex husband standing at the doorstep looking very worried but his face shows a slight bit of hope. He storms in and goes into the living room “where are they?”. The mum goes on to say “what are you talking about?”.
The mum then goes on to say that she thought that the kids where with him and that they had even written her a note. She goes into the kitchen and shows him the note. He says “the kids….. They’re gone....”.
The next shot is of the children in a field screaming with tape around their mouths. The shot zooms in to a close up and then zooms out at a distance to show them alone in the middle of nowhere having been taken by someone.
A black screen will then be used and the name of the film will then be displayed before the film carries on. While we were researching different opening of thrillers we realised that the name of the film was used as the climax of the opening hit before the film continues.
We decided that this storyline would be the better to use than the other storyline that we had as we are able to make this more suspenseful and we would be able to create a huge climax when the parents find out the children were missing. However, still leaving the audience wonder where they have gone until they see them in the middle of a field having been taken by someone. This is significant as it leaves the audience with questions meaning they will want to watch on to find out what has happened. Also, it is easier for us to film and we will be able to spend more time focusing on different camera angles and sound that we can use to make sure it is as climatic as it can be.
