Synopsis and the film narrative. By Lorna and Amelia.

Synopsis
She didn't think today would be any different, but the truth has to come out some time.


Narrative & What will happen next
Our thriller opening is going to based on two female characters who used to be friends with each other, the protagonist is pursued by an anonymous antagonist after confrontation between the two.

In the opening of our thriller film, we will be filming one of the characters taking part in a normal everyday activity. The first shot is going to be a flash forward into the end result, this will last for only about 3-5 seconds.

This is then followed by the protagonist carrying out a mundane activity of being at the gym, this is going to be showed in an extreme close up shot of the characters face, giving the impression of a chase. This is an establishing shot which zooms out to reveal the character just on a running machine.

Next will be three cutaway shots of the fast forward. The following shot is of the character at the gym packing away, this will be in a medium shot.

We're then going to add a match on action shot of the protagonist leaving the running machine to collect her bag, then the match on action will take her to the dance studio where there will be a large mirror. Then a long shot and shallow depth of field focusing on the mirror and the antagonists figure shown behind the protagonist, slowly zoom in to reveal the significant bracelet.

Following that will then be a flashback of the protagonist and another character talking in depth over coffee -(we will include reverse shot in this scene.) Focus on the second characters wrist to show the significant bracelet and reveal the identity of the antagonist.

The rest of the film would be about the events and conflict that lead to this evolving.
