Plot:

This post will include two sections. The plot for the opening of the film and the plot for the entire film.

Opening: Since the initial planning of our thriller we have changed the plot due to the filming being very impractical and slightly too ambitious. We kept elements of the original plot and extended on those. The original plot was:

For the plot of our Thriller task we have decided on the main part of the short film being an interrogation. The rough storyline we have come up with so far is that a girl steals a mystery item (which won’t be revealed)from a house. On the way out of the house she starts a fire to attempt to cover her tracks. She is then found and chased down by two ‘henchmen’. After being captured she is question about her actions and crime. The two henchmen don’t stick too their given instructions which results in a cliff hanger ending when an unknown character (the henchmen's boss) turns up and shoots somebody. 

This is featured in 'Planning for our Thriller task'

The scenes included in the original plot would simply be included in the later parts of the film, just not the opening. So the plot for the new opening is as follows: Eve is shown running at beginning but what she is running to or from is not revealed (build of suspense), then you are shown the two hitmen getting ready. Hopefully at this point the audience will get the connection and realise who Eve is running from. We will then show Eve stealing the mysterious item from an old jewellery box and then show a burnt down house to indicate that is what she has done to cover her tracks. We will then cut to a chase scene between Eve and the Hitmen until she finds an abandoned barn. This is where she will film herself saying what she thinks may be her final words, before someone finds her and we cut to black with a scream to create a cliffhanger. 

          This is the basic outline for what the plot of our opening will be. We think this opening will build a lot of suspense and use the generic elements of the thriller genre. We also hope that all the inertextual references that are included are noticed and help to create a sense of foreshadowing.

          The rest of the film: The rest of the film will be based around finding out what the Eve stole from the unknown boss, her interrogation and possibly learning the back story of Hazel and Cha Cha. The film would stick to using generic locations like dark ally ways and streets, wide open areas and other locations which create mystery or portray danger. The opening would be for the introduction of all the main characters and to initially grab the attention and focus of the audience like any other Thriller film. We want the opening to bring emphasis onto how dark and thrilling the rest of the film would be.
