Maria and I have chosen to do a kind of thriller for our opening sequence. Our story is based on a man who is forced to look back at his school days when a psychiatrist asks him about it. He confesses to killing a fellow pupil. He is finally comes face to face with the realities of his actions when he is faced with a series of flashbacks 5 years later. If we were going to make the full movie, it would consist of him telling his story of how he ended killing this fellow student who bullied him throughout his school years and we would explore the reasons as to why he was willing to commit murder. Our opening sequence will only consist of the first little part of story as we only have two minutes to grasp the audience’s attention. We will require 4 main characters, the Psychiatrist our main character, the younger version of our main character, and his victim. We will also require another 2 actors to play the victim’s friends and close allies. We will have three main mise en scenes. The main one will be the psychiatrist’s room. This will consist of two sofas by the window and a desk separating them. The other settings will be the murder scene in the woods and the finall setting we require is the scene in school where the boys would be picking on him. I think this will be filmed outside G House near the lake.
