Original ideas

From our original idea, we like the idea of filming the opening in the woods when the girl is running from the man. After a group discussion, we decided that instead of being trapped in her own house and having her phone wires cut, she should run into a park and be cornered. This would be easier to film, and a girl being trapped in her own house by a stalker is something that has been done a lot.

So here is our altered storyline for our 2 minute opening sequence.

Genre: Horror
Sub-genre: Thriller / Suspense
Locations: Woods / Road / Park

Storyline brainstorm:

• Opening titles - film forest floor
• Camera focuses on someone's feet as they're running through the woods
• Show the man's feet
• Girl reaches the edge of the woods, runs through some streets, maybe a park
• Eye-line match from her eyes to a house
• Focus on a person blocking the entrance to the park
• Girl turns around and the attacker is behind her
• Camera jerks - he hits her and she faints / is knocked unconscious
