We would like to work with enigma and suspense; therefore our idea is to have a mentally deranged woman that is desperate for a baby, however after finding that she is unable to fall pregnant she becomes fixated with dolls and young girls. We see her walk into an old antique shop and purchase a doll which she ends up treating as her own little girl. Her behaviour makes it obvious to the viewer that she is not mentally stable. The sequence ends with the woman watching other children play in the park. She then snatches one of the young children that resembles the doll and the sequence ends with her walking off with the young girl holding her hand and smiling smugly.
This opening is quite different as it is not something you would expect however it will enable us to build suspense and drama as it will leave the viewer wondering what she is going to do with the girl now she has her. We hope that this film opening will spark new ideas within the film industry.
Perhaps start this post by stating your awareness of thriller / psychological drama codes and conventions "Thriller codes and conventions include...") This post would be better delivered as (say) a short video using PhotoBooth. You can say more in a more lively and informative way.
