Production

Now for the idea of the introduction. We obviously want to make an intriguing introduction and want it to effectively hook the audience. For the actual vibe we want to go for we are thinking about filming at night and giving it that more mysterious sense to it. One window would be open and the girl would hop out of the window after messing up her room and begin running away from her house. If we film this at night we can use LED lights inside the room to help establish the mood of the scene. 

For the actual filming locations, it is definitely going to be inside a house and on the outside of the house too. I previously mentioned that maybe we would have to use a park, but I don't think that will be necessary anymore. When I picture this scene, I picture our actress walking into her room angry, messing everything up, such as throwing clothes all over the room and disorganizing her bed. Then sitting on the floor with her hands on her head and deciding she was going to run away. After this, she opens her window, looks back, and hops out with a small backpack she packed. Then she begins running and running and the scene stops. 

I believe that this idea clearly captures the essence of what a thriller introduction should be because it follows the guidelines that I learned about through my research. For example, it establishes that sense of mystery and covering up certain information from characters that the audience already knows. In this case it would be that the viewers know that she has run away, but the parents believe that she was kidnapped. 

I also wanted to add that there have been setbacks in my planning process because unfortunately my partner got COVID-19 so we have not been able to meet with each other and discuss everything at length. However, she is not doing much better and we will meet in person by the end of this week. Throughout the week I will continue to brainstorm about the full story and the one of the most important parts of the film: THE TITLE!
