Ideas for our thriller opening

Location

Eaton Park, and the streets around Eaton Park. We decided Eaton Park was a good place because it is quite mysterious and has a lot of places where somebody could hide. We are also using a bedroom, doesn't matter which one because that whole scene will just be close ups of the girl's face so you won't actually see the location.

Casting

Girl - Georgia Sinclair. Georgia is very small, and looks very innocent and quite childlike. Somebody who you wouldn't think would be able to defend themselves against someone else.
Boy - I have asked a boy to do this, but it doesn't matter who plays him because his identity will always be hidden by a hoodie, and there are going to be a lot of shots of his feet so he remains a mystery. We want to create a 'stalkerish' feeling around this character to trick the audience into believing he is a stalker.

Costumes

Girl - We have styled the girl to be wearing a knee-length skirt, blouse and black tights with heels. A costume which would suggest the girl has just finished work and she is walking through the park to get home. We are also going to make her wear a jacket over her work clothes to cover her up more, and to also show that the park is cold.
Boy - We are going to make the boy wear all black, and trainers. We chose trainers to show that the boy is like any teenage boy, and the trainers should make him seem less suspicious. The boy will be wearing a hoodie which is important because this will hide his face and make him seem more mysterious because we don't know the identity of the boy.

Plot

The thriller will open where the girl is in her bedroom and she is clearly traumatized then we go into a flashback of a night where she is walking home through the park. There is a boy walking behind her and he follows the same route as she does and she slowly begins to panic and thinks he is following her. Then there is a shot of him walking away from her and then the last shot of the flashback is her running across the grass. The audience believes she is running away to the safety of her home. Then the last shot of the thriller opening will be her face and she say's, 'I didn't mean to do it. I thought he was alive when...' then she stops talking and rests her head on her knees and the opening ends.
