Changes to Storyline

We have decided to change our storyline after watching further thriller opening sequences. Our new idea we believe will create more drama, as the opening shots show action, rather than our beginning at the moment having to wait a long time to get into the film. As we made a group decision to cut the first flashback, we believe that our new opening will keep the interest in the opening before the main action of the flashbacks start. There will be no real loss if we take out the first flashback, and replace it with a completely different opening. We have decided to instead start with the main character showing an attempt to kill herself in the bath. To conclude the first shot the character will be shown not going through with the suicide and shooting up from under the water, panicing and catching her breath. This idea has been influenced from the beginning of the film ‘What Lies Beneath’. After this sequence we will start from the end of the first flashback, from the girl sitting in the corner after the suicide attempt. This will then continue with the rest of the film, with the radio flashback being the next in sequence.
