Decisions Made from Research

br />

Our confusion combined with the limited time we have for filming has made my group to come to a final decision, to change the structure, as we feel that the opening sequence could be too long with the credits. The credits are going to 30 seconds at the longest. So we only have one and a half minutes of filming  as our opening has to be two minutes long at the most. This would mean that we wouldn't give too much of the plot away as we also feel that in thrillers we've spectated  never give the whole story at the beginning sequence.  This is now our idea at this stage of our planning:
1c) man wakes up in shed or garage tied to a table has been drugged edited muffled noises flashing lights blurred blinking - faints black out
2b)close up of eyes opening sharply in his bed edited to flicker back to the same guy in shed flash backing
3c) next flash back of a struggle with injection masked man flicks back to man tied up drugged flash backs of his messed up memory
4b) close up of injection going into neck then photo of girl "Remember Me!" written in red it, flicks back flashing lights are less blurred red and blue conventions of crime thriller (we now know that our thriller is definitely going to be a hybrid of a crime psychological thriller through the indexical link between the police red and blue lights flashing)
5b) Black out credits red blood splatters
I don't know now whether we are going to have the flash backs in black and white any more probably - hopefully because I think it will look good and emphasis the fact that his memory is slightly blurred as it happened in the past tense.
Therefore, we think that the flashback of the guy standing over the girls body gives too much of the plot away so we have gotten rid of that section.
