The opening scence a black background introducing the characters, the company names, and the movie title.

As the movie opens, we meet Rowena (CU shot), posing as a member of Families First to gain access to a hard-line Senator for her story. She is dressed conservatively in a dark suit and has straightened and lightened hair. She acts sweet and demure, not only towards the Senator, but also, afterwards, towards her friend and her boss. they inroduce their main character using a sries of close ups and medium close up so the character fills the screen and so the audience know that they are the main character in the narrative.

PICTH KIND OF IMAGINATION FOR STORY scroll DOWN TO SEE MY FULL IDEA.





the opening scence shows the typical code and conventions by using the black background and white text and they also use a voice over which builds tension within the audience. however the first few shots do not show the conventions of a typical mystery thriller. the first shot they show their main character this is shown because she is the first person on screen and the only person in the shot. however after they switch into an over the shoulder shot to show conversation which is not typical shot that mystery thrillers go straight into. mystery thriller like to continue building tension and intizing the audience int the opening shots. however the opening scence works because it makes you think why are they talking and what are they talking about and what does it have to do with the narritive. also their main character is the typical girl getting chased by man figure as she is a pretty girl who in the first shot is shown as to seem she is scared of something. they is no music and title in the opening scence which is intresting and different because they usually is some type of sountracks used in opening scences of mystery thrillers.





the opening scence has the code and conventions of a typical mystery thriller such as the black backgroud withe the white title standing out and flashing. the music used in the opening scene seems to be babby like at fisrt but they have chosen a smart soundtrack as it strats of in a high picth and ends in a low tone which gives that scary mystery thriller sense to it. again the clue to the narritive is shown in the first shot of the window open and the girl on the phone. the audience immidiatly suggest that somebody is going to come inside through the window and distrupt the girls equilibrium. also because of the genre being a mystery you automatically assume that the person entering the window is going to be a male. also the female character follows the typical features of a mystery thriller character as a pretty girl in room not knowing that the window is open.

pitch idea























my idea is that the boy once asked girl out but girl humiliated him infront of everybody we could like use some yr 9 students for dat and then we show the grown up him but his in a dark room and looks which portays him as evil he then flicks his hood which shows the transition from the young guy he use to be to the man he's become. and his built this hate inside of him for so he decides to start stalkin her cuz he see's her in a cafe where he lives in the mornin times he's the nomal working quite man that doesn't talk to nobody but in the night HE'S A STALKER and in his head the idea is that he belelievs that they could of had a realtionship and that its not over til he says it's over he starts to threaten her and her boyfriend and send her scary notes. til one day she meets face to face with him but she dont know thats her stalker she think shes meeting him for the first time in years. she invits him to dinner wth her boyfriend at their house but then he slipps up and says something that they remember being in one of the threatening notes which then makes them realize its him they are shocked but they try not to give themselves away. he goes to use the toilet. they quickly send an text to the police but wen he comes out he sees her phone while shes putting away the plates but her boyfriend is still in the room with the stalker. the stalker sees the 999 numer ringing on her phone the stalker, the boyfriend and the girl both look at each other quickly and intensely they both try to rush but the stlker catches the boyfriend and tells her to choose him or her boyfriend will die just as he wants to hurt her boyfriend the sirens ring and the police runs through the door and attacks the stalker because the boyfriend also made a call to the police with the audience did not see and the police were on the line all that time and heard everything. THE END
