Thriller idea to date - 24th November 2014

Our idea to date begins with a man opening a safe. The safe is full of stacks of money, pills and white powder. Our actor would then proceed to pack the contents of the safe into a duffel bag. The man then hears a knock on the door, and from the actors reaction we would show that this is an expected, however unwelcome visitor. The man would then run down the stairs to storm out of the back door. He would run through the garden and into the forest with music building up steadily, increasing the intensity and tension in our Thriller. We would then suddenly cut the music as the man abruptly stops running. Our camera work would next include a close-up reaction shot of the actor before we hear a loud and clear twig snap behind, where the screen would go black in time with a dark sinister, single beat. 

As you can see below, the story board compiled so far is incomplete and unsubstantial in detail, however we intend to use the remaining 4 weeks to prepare, think through and uncover flaws in our idea to create the desired thriller for our target audience.
