Thriller Idea pitch

Thriller Idea pitchBy Sean C, Vova and Molly

Our ideaOur idea revolves around the idea of cross cutting between locations with a phone call and the creative use of lighting to heighten the suspenseSecretary walks to door (see only her high heels, pleonastic clicking of heels), knocks, enters. Room in complete disarray (blood on walls?), room is quite dark illuminated by the vibrating phone on table. Secretary picks it up, no voice on other line. Cuts to room where one man is being tortured. Behind them is a man on the phone, staring at it. Cuts back to secretary, shes saying hello who is this etc, getting more and more panicky, we can only hear his heavy breathing on the other line. Cuts back to man who, whilst still on the phone, shoots both the torturer and man being tortured. Throws phone on ground camera follows its fall in slow motion. Stamps on the phone cut to black titles fade onto screen

The rest of the filmThe rest of the film would be a psychological thriller based around the conflict between the titular secretary and the killer as the secretary uncovers a plot of corporate espionage and conspiracyThe ending would result in the secretary defeating the killer intellectually and result in the killer being sentenced to death for murder

Sub-genre of Thriller Our Thriller would be psychological as it would focus on the intellectual conflict between the secretary and the killer who would have a series of 4 conversations throughout the whole film in which the secretary slowly gathers information on her boss and the nature of the company there final confrontation would be the only time that the secretary and the killer meet face to face
