My Own Idea For a Thriller

     We were adivsed immediately to go against the idea of choosing an idea based around damsels in distress running through a forest, because it's too cliche.

     But my idea for a thriller was based around the idea of 'Misery', 'Single White Female', 'Fatal Attraction' and 'The Stepfather'. What I find most scares me is the idea of a psycho, somebody who makes a character feel safe at first but the audience gather an idea that that character is not safe.

     My idea taken from 'Misery' was the idae of keeping somebody hostage, and not letting them go. I love this idea, that the audience know there is going to be a climax of how the character gets away and what they'll do.

     My idea from 'The Stepfather' was the opening, excluding the idea of him creating a new identity, I really liked the idea of him going around the house as though everything is normal but the audience pick up on key bits such as, whilst he's making toast, a dead boy is on the table. I liked this a lot because I saw it as, observing a psycho.

     My idea from 'Single White Female' as well as 'Misery' and 'Fatal Attraction' was the thought of obsession, and how obsession, I find creates such intensity and suspense for an audience because they never know what the psychopath will do next.

           Now for my idea; the beginning of the film is the end of the film, starting off with what looks like an ordinary lady walking round her house going about her business. The camera following her at all times, watching her shower, watching her make breakfast, watching her watch tv. When suddenly she walks past one room and there is a wipe in which we see the room she has just walked past, there is a woman cellotaped to a chair. We then cut back to the beginning of the film where we see the woman on a chair going about her daily life, successful business woman, very beautiful, and then she meets Anna. Anna is the actual psychopath who then falls in love with the beautiful and succesful business woman (who does not have a name). The love is not returned and she soon turns into a crazy psycho but subtly. We then find out what happens at the end and see whether or not there is a twist and how she escapes at the climax.
