Our genre will be a mixture of Mystery, Suspense, and Thriller. The film opens after opening credits end with a shot of a man walking up in what appears to be an old abandoned garage with blood dripping down his forehead. He wakes up with a raging headache and cannot figure out what happened before he got to this setting. The scene fuzzes out and cross cuts quickly to a shot of a man grabbing another man and injecting him with something (which is later revealed to be a memory serum), but the faces are not revealed. The camera pans around and in the darkened back corner of the room, the camera pulls in on a VHS tape that is on the ground. The man gets up and proceeds to walk out when he sees a girl dead on the floor. This opening will allude to conflict and set the mood and plot for the rest of the story.
After the opening scene, the film will proceed with this plot:
The man is trying to decide exactly what happened before he got to that abandoned garage but he can't ever figure it out. He walks to a nearby small town and uses that town to settle down for a while before he tries to embark on the rest of his journey. The man will go to the police station to try to figure out if anything has happened recently in the story, and it is revealed that there is a serial killer and another accomplice who have been nearby and 17 young girls and guys have been missing over the last 3 months. The man throughout the movie will keep having flashbacks of the injection scene but faces are never shown. As the movie reaches its climax, the man has a flashback of the moment he was injected, and in his hand is the VHS tape from the opening scene. The man runs to the abandoned garage place and searches for the tape. The tape has a message on the back that says play me, and the man runs to the town to play the tape to the police, believing that the serial killer probably attempted to murder him. Watching the video, it is revealed to the audience that the man has been the serial killer the entire time, and the video is of the man killing a little girl. (He records himself every time he kills someone) . The police arrest the man, and the camera slowly zooms out to see a man who was lurking behind the scenes throughout the entire movie, hinting to the audience that this man at the end is the accomplice who injected a memory serum into his accomplice and framed him. The screen fades to black.
It took us a good week to finally brainstorm this story idea, so I am thrilled to finally have the base of our project.
Now that we've created our story, our plan for this upcoming week consists of:
1. creating a storyboard
2. doing more research for our film
3. find a setting and props for our film
4. planning out our filming process
I can't wait to share more details with you guys as our journey progresses! Now its time I celebrate the weekend and enjoy a nice burger.
Peace out,
Ben
