Thriller Opening Storyline

For my thriller opening I will be using two of my friends as actors a male and a female whom I have already asked permission to avoid any confusion at a later date. The setting that I have chosen is high up in the Peak District which I believe will be perfect to fit with the feel and look of my thriller opening.


The story line for my opening will begin with both my actors in the front of the car driving down a country road. This is where I want the opening title sequence to begin.


Once the drive is complete I will film both my actors getting out the car in a very rural car park. They will start their walk and on the way they will walk past a tree which has a missing poster with a young girl on it pinned to the tree. This is a very significant part of my thriller opening as it gives the audience their first real taste of the suspense and danger to come.


The two characters will walk down a long narrow path where I will use a number of different shots. Once at the end of this long pathway the man and woman notice something  discarded on the ground near a picnic bench. The thing they have seen is a child's glove and it is covered in blood. Obviously this is going to alarm the two walkers and hopefully the audience too.


Once this is discovered the two people decide to make themselves scarce and call the police. My thriller opening will end with the man putting his arm round the woman and them walking off into the distance with the name of the film 'The Missing' filling the screen.
