More Inspiration and Revised Concept

After a discussion with Mrs Johnson we have come up with a few ideas to change our concept. This would mean changing it so that only one character is cast making it easier for us. The new idea we have come up with is that a woman is tied to a chair in an abandoned warehouse on her own. We looked at a previous horror film opening made at our school and at the opening of Se7en. We liked the fast cutting rate and how it used shots to create a sense of an enigma and tension.
Some ideas we came up with were:

• Changing the casting so only Freddie's sister is cast. This will make it easier for us because we won't have to keep trying to find older people to cast.
• We also came up with a possible new concept where the female antagonist is tied in a chair in an abandoned warehouse. We can see that she is distressed and psychopathic. Throughout the scene we get flashbacks of victims bodies. We also see POV shots of someone from outside the warehouse coming in. The person then comes in to the warehouse and the woman screams. However, we don't know who the murderer is. We felt this may be more suitable to the horror genre.

Taking some of these into account, we have tweaked our concept a little. The concept is still the same, however the only two cast members are the woman and the detective. The woman is still being interrogated by the detective, however through POV shots the audience knows someone is hiding in the shadows. As the interview goes on we see flashes of victim's lifeless bodies such as the ones in the opening sequence of The Killing. Then, as the detective ends the interview, the man appears from the shadows and murders the detective. We never see the man's face, but it is thought to be the woman's husband, who is mentioned frequently during the interrogation. We feel like this is a better concept because it builds more tension and we can incorporate a jump scare to make it more horrific.
