Film introduction Synopsis

Our mystery thriller introduction will contain two main characters; ‘Cam’ and an anonymous character that will be referred to as ‘the chaser’. There will also contain a reference to a third character that aids the main character.

The opening narrative structure will place the audience in the middle of a scene, of which one character is anonymous, and another is abbreviated, to compel the audience to focus and ‘hook’ them onto the storyline, (a similar technique has been used in recent horror/thriller films such as ‘Saw’….)

The type of ‘thriller plot’, (Charles Derry 1988) we have decided to use is a combination of ‘moral confrontation’ and ‘Innocent on the run’. The main character ‘Cam’ is under threat from a dark chasing character that appears to be non-human. Cam is waiting in a poorly light area where he receives a message that he is being watched. He attempts to leave the area, where the follower appears in the distance only to the audience. This piece of dramatic irony will help engage the audience as Cam walks unaware of the follower.

The follower is revealed to the audience as a supernatural being as it appears to teleport towards the camera.
This is followed by the main title and credits.
