Our second meeting was on Friday 14th November, where we worked out which idea we were going to go ahead with and developed the full story. We chose the suicide "Aunties" plot because it is original and we think it can create a really effective opening sequence. This is our initial shot list:
- Cross cutting between the back of one of the murderers on the computer in a dark room, and a teenage girl in her room doing girly things ie. Blow-drying hair, doing nails, reading magazine. But she’s pouring her heart out to the website, having conversations with the murderer. She mutters some of the messages. At this point, in terms of sound, there is the background noise of the girl’s teenage music on her shots, and the dim hum of the ominous computer on his side.
- The camera is zooming in towards the man on the computer, and then he turn his head so you see a shadowed profile of him. Exchange of dialogue with other murderer who you can’t see. He prints something off, and there is a cutaway to the text. Then shadows (bodies) move across the screen as they get up to go and the screen goes black with the first title. The music starts up.
- Title.
- If there is time after all this… hand-held shots of the murderers getting ready to go to the girl’s house, possibly black screens for titles. Random dialogue. There are two ellipses: shows them leaving the flat, cut to car wheel screeching away, they knock at door. Her head whips round – CU for reaction.
- Ending: something initiating the action but leaves on a cliff-hanger.
