Today we have sat down and discussed thriller ideas and we now have two final ideas. Our plot for the film is a man obsessed with ballerinas and he takes them and uses their bones to create his own perfect ballerina.

Our opening sequence is going to be of a ballerina dancing in room which is full of miorrs. Most of the sequence will be beautiful dancing but she will have some kind of accident which will not be major but it signifies something dangerous is going to happen. We thought maybe she could cut heself and all we see is this drop of red blood which makes the audience aware something bad might happen to this girl.

We thought maybe we could cut to a man driving to the studio where the ballerina is practising. We would keep cutting back and forth to the man driving and the dancer. Finally the door to the studio will open and we will see the mans feet. The dancer will look up at theshe will looked shocked.

We thought about the opening to what lies beneath because we thought they were similar. In what lies beneath the film starts with mist and you think you can see something when suddenly it cuts to a women in the bath and she quickly pulls her head out of the bath. We were going to have idea in ours. Maybe as the man opens the door the dancer falls and twists her ankle before looking up at the camera.

After discussing this we thought cutting between the driving and the dancing would take our attention away from the beautiful dancing therefore we thought we will just have the ballerina and keep it simple but effective. We thought about having a montage after this ballerina scene of different ballerinas getting measured and rejecting to show what a tough life it is for a ballerina but we then decided we were overcomplicating therefore we shall just do the ballerina by herself.

 

I thought maybe this was too much like the movie 'Black swan' but Phil our teacher reminded us that all films have similarities for example lots of horror films involve people going into attics or cellars therefore we should not worry and we will make it different from the film.
