Planning for opening sequence

Characters and their seperate roles in the narrative:




Anna (Sophie): Quiet reserved girl who fancy's Cameron. He doesn't even know she exists and doesn't notice her when she's watching from a distance. In a desperate atempt to get him to notice her, she stands in  front of his car while he's driving, hoping that he'll stop and at least ask her to move so at least he's aware of her. As he's coming towards her he's on his phone reading a text and then replying and so he hits her. She dies and the next day, starts to haunt him. She turns the radio on when he's in his car to songs that aren't on the CD that he's listening to. The three tracks will be; Bring me to life By Evanesence, I don't believe you By Pink and Grenade By Bruno Mars. She then makes him see her reflection in the mirror in the bath room and make him see blood on his hands when there's nothing there.

Cameron (Cameron):Popular and out going but doesn't notice many things. One of these things is Anna. While leaving college he recieves a text from a friend which he reads and then replys to even though he's driving. He doesn't realise he's hit Anna and carries on driving and go's to college the next day. As he drives over the place where he hit Anna, his music changes to Bring me to life, he switches the song to the next on his CD, not realising that it's not on the CD, the next sond is Grenade, this time he's happliy suprised, making a comment how he likes the song and starts singing along. The track then changes on it's own to I don't believe you. After this he gets a bit freaked out and turns the CD off and parks his car. He goes to the toilet and when he's washing his hands he looks up and in the mirror he see's Anna's reflection and turns around expecting to see her there, but there's no one. He turns back around and continues to wash his hands and looking down he sees red being washed off his hands but it wont stop. He tries to see where the source of the blood is but there's nothing. He washing more vigorously but still there's the constant red. He gives up with the water and reaches for a paper towel to dry his hands. A boy he knows walks in. Cameron asks him if he saw a girl walk out, he says no, then he asks if he can help with the blood and shows him the towel. The boys says there's nothing there and Cameron looks down to see nothing but a wet towel. 


Jake (Luka):Popular and Cameron's best friend - he's with Cameron at most times throughout college, he is one of the reasons Cameron never notices Anna. Jake and Cameron walk to college one day and are oblivious to the fact that anna is nearby. They play football, and have some lunch at the same time Anna watches them intensively. At the end of the day, Jake texts cameron whilst he is driving home from college, and Cameron replies which consequently causes Anna's death. Both characters are still however unaware of the fact Anna existed, and Cameron has nasty experiences which include a random changing of the radio, and a toilet scene where Cameron sees anna in the mirror, before turning around and seeing nothing. Jake walks in shortly after and sees Cameron shaken up - he questions what's wrong, and Cameron asks Jake if he saw a girl leave the toilets - he replies no, and the sequence shortly ends after this.


Opening finishes here.



Possible Locations: Some possible locations of our Thriller opening sequence are:
  • Longroad: Car park, toilets, football field.
  • Cambridge.


BBFC:
We think our opening sequence should be rated at 15 as there is no discrimination or drug use. Yes there is a threat but it's not sadistic or sexualised.
