Groups New Idea

New and Improved Idea.

After looking at our final sequence and speaking to our teachers, we decided to simplify our final idea by scrapping the scenes with the therapist, having less flashbacks (if any) and having less dialogue.


So, here's an outline of our new story for our new film:


There's a victim who after a night out, gets raped. She follows normal 'safety' rules by taking a cab home although the cab drops her off at the end of her road, before her block of flats. She's walking back to her flat along the pathway, lights up a cigarette, recieves a text and everything is quite normal. She stubs out the cigarette and walks through the door and up to her flat. As she's about to walk through the door, she gets attacked as a hooded man jumps her. The rest of the movie would be about her struggle overcoming the rape. The rapist has previously raped many other women and left a 'calling card' in the form of a funeral directors business card, showing that his victim will be killed soon. As she wants the rapist to be caught she's revealing her story on camera for the police but to protect herself, she's gone into hiding.


Here's what we'd include in the opening sequence:


The first 20/30 seconds is her talking directly to the camera in a video diary style, setting the scene from the night out. There will then be a fade to black before the flashback scene starts which will be similar to our test shoot where she walks up the path, has a cigarette, recieves a text etc. She goes to her flat, gets attacked from behind. The last 20/30 seconds of the sequence is her once again, talking directly to the camera about how she's scared, in hiding etc.

I thought this new idea was a very good one as it is much more simple and i feel it will look more effective as a opening of a film. Also our actor is better so i think this will also make the film more believable and realistic.
