This lesson we are discussing different ideas for our thriller opening sequence. In this, we have to consider the different thriller conventions and sub-genres that we have looked at in previous lessons in order to create a detailed account of our chosen ideas and plots.
We decided that we wanted to look further into creating a psychological thriller.
Idea 1) The first thing we looked at was the idea of someone losing their identity. We discussed the idea of somebody suffering from amnesia. They would wake up and not know where or who they were. If we were going to go through with this idea for our final project, we would probably shoot somebody waking up and show the confusion they go through as they try to understand what has happened to them. To this storyline we could add in characters such as, forgotten love interests, family, doctors, police etc.
Idea 2) Another idea we came up with was to show someone who leads two lives. An idea of this could be a husband/father who at home seems like a typical family man with a normal job but when he leaves home to 'go to work' we discover he is actually a spy/assassin/bank robber etc.
Idea 3) The next idea was to show the life of someone who's has had their identity stolen. By this we mean that there is somebody trying to impersonate our protagonists identity. They could realise this themselves or be informed by government/police/FBI etc. This could be because the antagonist impersonating them has framed them by committing crimes, and the real person is getting the blame.
The idea we found best out of these was the idea of lost identity as we decided this would be the best one to fit into a two minute opening as we feel we could achieve more with this idea whilst keeping in with the time
