Developing Our Idea 1

Before Development)

Here is a short synopsis of our initial concept idea, for acknowledgement of development. 

Our genre resided in 'thriller'. A young woman is walking along the street, listening to upbeat music with the sound coming through her earphones. She is singing along, oblivious to her surroundings. It appears a figure is following her. The young woman turns a corner as he follows, he is then met at gunpoint by the woman who was aware of his plans. She shoots him, walking away as the music becomes non-diegetic soundtrack. The screen then cuts to black, as the title of the film appears. 

After Development) 

Here is our production group's new outline, including a full breakdown of the opening sequence.

The opening sequence begins, the audience are promptly immersed as we see a young woman's throat being slit within the opening frame. Swiftly after, we establish our female protagonist running through the woods with an expression of sheer determination. She is wearing a 'cocktail' style dress, having previously been invited to an evening brunch which ended in apparent destruction due to the evident damage of the dress.  

We see our protagonist, running through the woods from right to left. We then see her supposed attackers, running left to right. Audiences note that she is running towards them. However, what they don't know, is that she's running towards them intentionally. This shot acquires long shot duration, helping arise tension. Eventually, we receive a shot of these two men. Dressed in posh, traditional / stereotypical 'hunting' attire, draped in tweed. These two men then split, in attempt to find our protagonist. Unfortunately for them, she's one step ahead. One of the men is attacked by the female protagonist, she is able to attain his gun. She kills him, then takes his gun and walks away into the open woods. Contrapuntal soundtrack plays, the titles appear and the screen cuts to black. 

Further Advancement) 

We concluded that we'd change the genre, as the opening frame adheres to the genre of 'horror'. After discussing with Luke, we ensured the woman was running right to left, as the hunters ran left to right. We changed the location / costume drastically, the woman is now wearing a cocktail dress as it followed the previous components of narrative. We've also now officially established the costume of the men, being dressed in posh, traditional / stereotypical 'hunting attire', as it contributed to previous narrative. We also established her motive to kill these hunters, as they've murdered her boyfriend.
