Thriller Idea

I had the idea of creating a thriller opening based on the murder of a young girl. 

Everyone believes her to be dead however later on a female approaches the mother claiming 

to be her biological daughter. In order to generate thrill and suspense, It would have been

heavily reliant on cuts between flashbacks and the present day. It would have started with 

the mother of the girl trying to remember her daughter when she was alive as she goes into 

her room . She walks around and significant items ; such as her school uniform, older photographs 

and diary would be highlighted with the use of close ups and extreme close ups. It would then 

switch to a flashback of the girl in the park playing with a sibling and the speed would have been

 slowed down to show the sacredness of this clip. 
 
The girl's mother then comes across a clean and ironed school shirt hung up against her wardrobe. 

She goes to touch it when suddenly it cuts to a bathroom covered in blood with police tape surrounding

the area with the girl's mangled body left in the corner (Face is not visible.) After thinking about it

I realised that this idea was not realistic or practical especially considering that we have a very tight

deadline and that getting a hold of some of the aspects would be difficult to obtain like a child actor to 

play the girl and the location. We'd have to have someone willing to let us use their bedroom which is quite

difficult. Also I think that I over complicated things and over thought the narrative of the opening which 

isn't useful or possible in the time that we do have so instead we decided to take a simpler option of 

recreating "Collateral" with some aspects of "Se7en" and "Taking of Pelham" included called "Base-9"
