Thriller opening Synopsis

As a group we collectively discussed a basic 'frame' as to what our thriller would entail; the content of our film, how the rest of the film may conclude, and how our character ended up in the woods in the first place. We came up with the idea that the Lady in the Gasmask was a childhood hallucination, and a life long 'companion' of our character Rhys, and that as he grew older Rhys was continually told how his imaginary friend was just that. . .imaginary. It was further discussed that as he was told otherwise, he grew more hostile and frustrated. . .causing the Lady in the Gasmask to follow suit. 

Jos then took this information, and developed it further into a synopsis. Jos also came up with the idea of drug involvement, and then developed a storyline that combined a mental illness (schizophrenia) with drug abuse, we then all agreed that this was an appropriate storyline. It was then decided that to make our opening more exciting and interesting, we would feature the ending of the film at the beginning. The rest of the film will then entail the reasoning and build up to our conclusional opening. This technique was inspired by the film 'Brick' (2006), which proved it to be a successfull way of ordering a film. Also the idea of jumbling the order of our production will further enhance the conventions of a thriller, this mixed up technique will primarily confuse and disorientate our audience; causing them to feel un-easy and slightly uncomfortable, but also keen to watch the rest of the film.
