Proposal Re-presentation

Genre
Our film’s genre is psychological thriller, examples from this genre include Se7en, Rear Window and Silence Of The Lambs which focus on creating fear through tension as opposed to blood and gore.

Opening Sequence

It is dawn. There is a girl with blood on her in the middle of the room on a chair with a dead body at her feet. She is rocking slightly to show that she is thinking hard. We would introduce this scene with slow close up tilts and tracks along the body, her hands, the chair, her face etc whilst showing the titles in the area of space (e.g. first title of the back of the head of the dead body). About half way through the mood will suddenly change and she will get up suddenly. She will become very ‘matter of fact’ about how she is going to dispose of the body (kick the body to see if its dead get bin bags etc). The sequence could end with a phone call to a friend, on the line "I need your help."

Outline of the film
The dead body is a character who she knows but isn’t really connected to, he gets drunk and violent at her home, and she kills him in self defence. She’s up all night trying to figure out what to do. OPENING SEQUENCE. The rest of the film is about how trying to hide the body and the secret leads to her killing others.

After some clarification of what lead up to the event (in the sequence) this proposal was signed off - which is good as we are now able to start working out practicalities of shooting and start composing a storyboard for our upcoming test shoot.
