Planning - Initial Ideas

Idea: Murder/Mystery
Initially, we thought of creating some form of murder related story. The story would open with the main character seemingly on the run, but it isn't clear why he desires a route of escape. However, the character himself struggles to contain the emotions he is experiencing and is torn between what to do. Ultimately, he decides to return to what is presumed to be the house, where the murder occurred.


  • We thought that the opening could begin with the main character lighting a match and starting a fire. There would then be a close up of the fire, before the main character begins throwing photographs into the flame and watching them burn. Within the flames, we could potentially include titles floating away from the fire, This may display some creativity and be of a more professional standard. However, this would perhaps be difficult to achieve with the lack of experience and our own inept working knowledge of the required software tools to create it. Additionally, we could include a voice over with the main character alluding to the murder and his inevitable downfall. 
  • As the main character heads towards the home, the camera would follow him using a tracking shot. Furthermore, we could implement other titles beside him. 
  • When the main character reaches the home, there would be an establishing shot and then the title of the film would appear above the main character as he walks towards the front door of the home. 
  • In terms of costumes, the main character would be dressed in fairly casual clothing, but they would be torn and he would clearly be very dirty (perhaps covered in mud on some areas of the body). This would represent a sense of uncertainty surrounding the character and symbolise his own misfortune. Along with this, it may also indicate an enigma.
