Further Thriller Production

Today we were criticized for our thriller idea and had to change it because it didn’t really made sense. Therefore we needed to change every production we have started to make a better one. We wanted to have a man getting out of his car in front of a house, looking round, hearing creepy noises and seeing lights in front of a house. Then he should go back to his car and have flashbacks of potato sack masks that are being stitched and children that are wearing them. Then he sits back in his car and drives away until suddenly the flashlights of the car hit a child with a potato sack mask in the middle of the street. The man blinks and the child is gone. Then the camera zooms into the car and the child is in the back seat. We were criticized a lot because the teachers felt that the idea was already taken too often (Friday 13th, the orphanage, Strangers) and potato sacks wouldn’t really fit into our environment. The biggest criticism we got was the fact that the story didn’t make a lot of sense, therefore we changed it to give it a real story. In our short sequence you’ll see this:Tom gets out of his car and walks towards the house. Then we do a montage shoot when he is sitting in the cellar ripping bed linen and cutting eyes and stitching them back together etc. During this sequence the titles will be flashed in. Then he suddenly hears a child laughter, takes his lamb and searches. The lamb lights hit the feet of a child and then the light goes up and we get a close up of a child screaming under such a mask. Cold breath comes out of his mouth and builds the title of the movie. The idea of the total movie will be shown in the next post.
