Final Idea for Main Task
We decided to go with Idea 2, as we believed it would be more successful in showing exciting and innovative use of camera shots and ideas. We believed that this idea showed more potential for a successful film and was malleable to the task requirements and to the way we wanted to go about the task.
Our final idea is as follows:
-The film opens outside a party, with people walking in together in groups, but one is alone- a suspicious looking, hooded figure walks slowly on his own into the location, evidently an 'outsider'.
-We then see the party, a wild, raucous event with lots of people, alcohol, lights, music and illegal substances.We move quickly through the party, showing a 'typical' teenage gathering, but focusing on a particular young man who is clearly popular, hanging out with his friends; unaware of the hooded figure sat alone nearby, watching his every move.
-The young man looks at his watch, clearly needing to be somewhere, and exits the room. He goes to wash his face in the bathroom, but at looking up he catches something in the corner of his eye, a figure stood behind him. He turns in shock, yet there is nobody there. He shakes off his foolishness and exits the location, walking out onto the street, looking around to check he is alone.
-He continues walking on through the dark streets until he meets another,darkly dressed man with whom he exchanges a package.The young man takes the package and walks away, back through the dark roads.The exchange man takes out his phone and sends a text, and it is only when we cut back to the party to show the hooded man , that we realise the text is to him. It reads 'ITS DONE', and at receiving this text he leaves the party and catches up with the young man, following him through the streets.
-The young man stops to look inside the package, and as he does so the hooded figure approaches and brings out a knife. The young man turns and exclaims and the hooded figure stabs him in the stomach.He falls to the ground and slowly dies, and the hooded figure takes the package from next to his body.
-The credits roll as the young man dies and the hooded figure walks away, carefree and casual- the young man had been set up.

Initial Ideas For Main Task
Requirements for main task:
-The film must be around two minutes long and be the opening to a full length film.
-It should be of the thriller genre. The official definition of a thriller film is:
INITIAL IDEAS
Idea 1- It's a warm summers night at a party in the woods, with music and alcohol. One boy stands out, popular and enjoying himself with his friends, talking about a boy at school with them that just got arrested after attacking someone. We see the boy take a drug and slowly go in and out of consciousness, stumbling around and eventually going off on his own towards a bridge and setting himself down with a bottle of beer to calm himself. We see shots from someone else's point of view, watching the party and the people within it, and then following the protagonist as he walks away, hiding within the trees. He walks towards the boy and the boy starts speaking to him, obviously knowing who he is. The stalker picks up a piece of wood and hits the boy around the head, him then falling to the floor. Cut back to the party, and a splash is heard, people then running over to the bridge to see the body face down in the water.
Idea 2- -The film opens with a party with lots of people, alcohol, lights, music and drugs.We focus on a particular young man who is clearly popular, hanging out with his friends; unaware of the hooded figure sat alone nearby, watching his every move.
