Cancelled plans for our thriller opening

Main idea - Following three people in a car park;
- A man in a car
- A man in a lift
- A woman walking
All these meet at the ending of the sequence

Setting - Modern day setting and clothing


Shot 1 - Camera from above a car, showing a pair of hands on the steering wheel, seen through the windscreen.
Shot 2 - Camera zooms out to a mid-shot, showing the full torso of the person. Face is covered by the sunblind.
Shot 3 - Long shot, camera pans around the car as the driver gets out and walks to the both. Face is covered by shadows.
Shot 4 - Black screen. The sound of the car-booth-lock opening. View from inside the booth as it is being opened. Cuts just before you can see the face.

The rest of the shots aren't fully planned yet, which order, etc...


Locations - Castle Mall; lift, car park, staircase. Filming has to be timed so that it's dark and few people. Either very early or very late.

Costumes:
- Man in the car: casual, dirty clothing
- Man in the lift: respectively dressed, black suit etc...
- Woman walking: something between casual-formal. Wearing high heals.

Props: The car(preferably a dark/black sedan)

Still to do:
- Continued planning and storyboarded
- Finding/creating a soundtrack
- Cast
- Get a dialogue with managers of Castle Mall


We decided to not use these plans for our thriller. Sam Cameron joined our group, and we decided to merge our ideas together instead.

    Well done for posting your initial ideas. I'd suggest that your female character should reference research, thus her costume should suggest style, attitude and to reference the femme fatale, glamour.

    Andreas your planning must be much more detailed than this. Also images and ideas must be evaluated and this includes identifying films/tv programmes that have informed your ideas.
