Initial Ideas For Thriller

Idea 1: Gassed

  • Film set in a futre nuclear war. 
  • About two teenage boys, who try and discover a way to escape the death camp they are at. They find a way out through a gas chamber and the story is about the journey they then take, the struggles they go through, (food, water, shelter, trying to get past important/authoritive soldiers). And the relationships they have through out their journey. 
  • It also lightly touches on if there was another war in the future (e.g. is it about technology? or nuclear weaponry?)
  • In the opening tittle sequence, we see an insight to a gas chamber and what the effects of this is.
  • This is also the possible escape plan for the two teenage boys and we see someone has urinated on the corner and therefore the thin wood walls are beginning to tear and wear away. 
  • Extreme closeups of people skin to skin contact, as well as people holding hands, perhaps knowing their fate, perhaps not knowing their fate, tears rolling down their cheek. 
Idea 2: Kidnapped
  • Film about a girl who is kidnapped at around 12 years old and then likes in an underground hide out until she is around 22 when she then escapes. Story based around this sad malnourished girl and her past. 
  • Through out the film we see how this upbringing has truly damaged her and how this effects her life.
  • We see closeups of different objects around the room, such as the ticking clock, the door handle, the sink, a toilet, scratch marks,old drawings from she she was younger, an old plate.
  • We then hear foot steps creaking down the room, a closeup of her eyes make it become apparent that she is nervous. We also see her biting her nails and then her hands clenching together. 
Idea 3: Death row

  • A film about a male teen who commits murder and is then sentenced to death. 
  • He is then later given the life sentence whilst on the bed just before he is killed as lawyers find evidence which strongly show he was physically abused whilst growing up and had an extremely insecure and un steady bringing up. 

  • We have flashes of a mad chase in the street between police and the criminal and then this cuts to slow motion shots of the mother breaking down and the hammer slamming in court as well as the criminals face and other inmates.
Idea 4: Psych
  • Psychological thriller based on a young girl who suffers from schizophrenia and anorexia, she fights a long battle through out the film and struggles with her family and their misunderstanding for her illnesses. 
  • She attempts to harm her younger brother and is therefore forced to either complete  prison sentence or go to an insane rehabilitation institute. 

  • We see extreme closeups of her records and follow her through her morning routine. something seems slightly wrong with her as she does things such as count the amount of ties she turns the light switch on and off and how many brushes she makes with he toothbrush, 
  • Everything seems to have a routine and certain number of times is taken out for each thing.
