Our groups’ original ideas for the opening sequence of our thriller film were two stories entitled, ‘Vengeance’ and ‘Morgeage’ respectively. Whilst Morgeage centred round a ghostly protagonist and a haunted setting, Vengeance was a more realistic concept, and proved to be the route pursued.
The story of Vengeance originally was that of two friends who robbed a shop, with the shopkeeper being killed in the panic. The intended twist was that they killer of the pair would snitch on the other after being interrogated by police in return for his freedom, causing him to serve a lengthy jail sentence. This would conclude the opening sequence with the plan for the remainder of the film being about this character trying to track down his former friend, blaming him for losing a decade of his life.
This eventually moulded into the final draft. After considerations including how we’d go about obtaining police facilities for certain shots we wrote to the Metropolitan Police asking to use cells for our work however as of today are yet to receive a response so are going to try and film around this inconvenience.
There were some other brief ideas discussed such as a government conspiracy-based story but we felt that with our filming restrictions Vengeance was the best idea to go forward with.
