This is our first mind map of ideas for our thriller opening. To produce this we remembered the conventions of a thriller that we had researched (violence, suspense, action sequences, an unusual setting, ordinary characters in extraordinary situations) and brainstormed for some potential plots. Some were developed more than others, and through discussion we arrived at the idea of a chase sequence.
We especially drew inspiration from 'No Country For Old Men'. The idea of a countryside setting proved both appealing and accessable, and the neutral background, costume and props was especially interesting to us as a group.
Scene 1 - Our main character would be stalked through a cornfield - possibly at dusk for a more dramatic feel. The killer would be shown subtly, either silhouetted or in shadow. The main character would then be strangled.
Scene 2 - The next day. The main character would be found by a girl merrily roaming through the field.
