Group meeting to discuss thriller ideas

After pitching my idea about the kidnapped girl to my group, we decided to go ahead with that, however adapting in various ways. However, after spending time planning it and discussing it, we realised that it might be a bad idea to develop. This was because it is quite complex and long, and therefore wouldn’t fit into a 2 minute sequence, but also it would have told most of the story in the opening sequence and would notleave much to be discovered or developed throughout the rest of the film. There was also the problem of getting a little girl to be in the sequence.

After thinking a lot, Izzy proposed to us the idea which is based around the myths that you hear about when people wake up in baths full of ice with organs missing and writing on the wall saying ‘Call 999’. People had drugged them, cut our their organs and gone to sell them in another country.  

• There is an extreme close-up of a girls eyes. We see them open as she gasps.
• There is then a reverse zoom so we can see that she is in her underwear in a bath full of ice; she has a shocked/confused expression.
• There is then an eye-line match of her looking in the mirror. We see that there is something written on the mirror. The rest of the mirror goes out of focus and allows us to read what is written in red lipstick: 'call 0800......(a phone number)'.
•  The girl looks around and sees a phone lying next to her. She slowly types in the number and we see a close-up of the phone with the diegetic noises of her typing in the numbers.
•  She puts the phone to her ear, but we don't hear what the person is saying on the other line. She has an extremely shocked expression and slowly let’s go of the phone in fear.
• There is then a flashback. We see her dancing in the club holding a drink, she moves over to dance with a guy and when she's not looking there is a close up of him spiking her drink. We then see him dragging her into his car or something similar to this to show that she is the victim and he is the bad guy.
• It then cuts back to reality and she is in the bath. We are looking at her through the mirror. She looks down looks back up at herself in the mirror and screams.
• The screen goes black and the title comes up whilst she is still screaming.
