Initial Ideas

Idea 1 By: Mason Cadman
Thriller Sub Genre: Crime/mystery
Intended Target Audience: Males 15-25
Setting: In a shady, dark street, or building
Idea: A mysterious person who never gets seen by the audience carrying a briefcase or a back pack of some sort, heads towards a dark secretive area. Where a person who also is mysterious but we see glimpses of them, is waiting on their arrival and keeps on checking his watch. They then meet up and exchange some dialogue along the lines of 'why are you late', and 'don't mess me around' etc. They then exchange something secretive, but one guy doesn't hold up to his end of the bargain and more people appear from the back and take the other guy captive, the opening then finishes and title sequences appear.

Idea 2 by: Shaun Anderson

Thriller Sub-Genre:  Crime Thriller

Intended target audience: Males aged 15-25

Setting: Middle-class area

Idea: A man is out with his best friend in a bar and notices a man in a suit and sunglasses staring at them. The man is shown returning home and going to bed. There is then a fade out shot and fade in shot as he wakes up and goes downstairs. He then gets a breakfast cereal box off of a shelf in his kitchen. As he turns around he spots a black briefcase on the unit. He looks around and then stares at the briefcase. He reluctantly opens the briefcase to find a note and a picture of his best friend. The note explains that he must kill his best friend on that day or there will be consequences. He looks further into the case and sees a pistol and a knife with the caption “this bit’s up to you” implying that it is his choice which weapon he uses.
