Initial Ideas

Here are the initial ideas for my thriller:
I have decided to change groups from who I did my preliminary task with because although me, Ben and Lydia worked well together, Lydia has now left and gone to college, so I have decided to join up with Niamh, Courtney and Hyleana because were good friends and I feel we will work even better together :)
The sub-genre in our thriller is horror, therefore we was thinking of having a story line about a psychiatric patient who has escaped from a mental asylum. We know that this is a sensitive topic, but we want to try and do it justice and really show what it’s like to be in their shoes, and we want to be respectful to the people with mental illnesses.
Our initial ideas include a character running through some woods, with the camera focus then going onto floor where the titles will be, then the runner stepping on the title for it to disappear. As well as this, we also thought the titles could be moving with the runner and sound of heaving breathing.
Although we have thought of some ideas, as shown on the mind map we created below, were not 100% fully sure on the full story. However, we do have sort of a main idea that it is going to be filmed in a wood in the day, because then we will be able to edit the lighting and things after to make it gloomier or however we finally decide to have it. Also, as I have said before, there will be a runner, who then realises that someone is in trouble and may need help. We also thought of having a close up shot of hands, with a rope tied around them with blood dripping off them. We want to create a lot of different shots and cuts from the runner to the tied hands.
