How Our Group Reached Our Main Thriller Idea

We started by presenting our ideas to each other. My ideas were:

• A man getting out of a car and walking slowly towards a house. Then the girl is looking through a window at him. We then get a close up of a man from waist down, so we don't know who he is. Then it flicks to a close up of the girls face to show her facial reactions. He opens the door, gets close to her and then it cuts.
• A girl is walking and someone is following her. When she turns round the person disappears. She carries on walking and then she turns round again and he disappears. This continues for a few more times. Then eventually she gets a tap on her shoulder, she turns round and screams.
• Someone in a house watching TV. The TV turns off, bells start ringing and then stop, lights flick on and off. She sees that a window is slightly open like someone has just come through it. The items that were on the window sill are now broken on the floor. Muddy footprints on the floor, so she follows them till she gets to some shoes using a tracking shot. As she reaches the shoes she sees something and screams, then it cuts.
• It is a sunny day and we get a high angle shot of a lake. It zooms in like someone is flying down to the lake. When the camera gets to water level, the camera goes underwater and we see fish and see creatures setting a beautiful, tranquil scene. Then as we swim further down we see bubbles and we follow the bubbles to find out where they are coming from, we keep going to the bottom of the sea and then suddenly we see a dead body at the bottom of the sea.

We then narrowed it down to each of us choosing our best one. I chose:

• Someone in a house watching TV. The TV turns off, bells start ringing and then stop, lights flick on and off. She sees that a window is slightly open like someone has just come through it. The items that were on the window sill are now broken on the floor. Muddy footprints on the floor, so she follows them till she gets to some shoes using a tracking shot. As she reaches the shoes she sees something and screams, then it cuts.

After doing this we then decided we would narrow it down to our favourite one within the group. We chose Molly's idea which was:

• Someone taking pictures of a girl, following her around. After taking the pictures he goes back to his house and develops the photo in a developing room. He then sticks them in a scrap book.

We have based our thriller idea on Molly's idea and also on the opening title sequence to se7en but have adapted and changed it.
