Final Idea

This is our final idea. We decided to change our original final idea because our group was finding it hard to stay within the genre conventions, and make the footage seem realistic enough.

The full film synopsis:

The film begins with the sudden kidnap of one of our main characters, Dannie, who was at home alone waiting for her boyfriend, Josh. 

Josh's dad recently died in a tragic car accident, meaning that Josh inherited his wealthy fortune. What Josh doesn't know is that the money was won out of a corrupt business deal between his dad's company and a rival firm in Italy. The owners of the rival firm actually murdered Josh's dad, and are hunting Josh down in order to reclaim the money. They help an old business partner out of prison and send him to kidnap Dannie: a trap to lure Josh.

Josh searches for Dannie with the help of Dannie's best friend Charlotte, and they eventually find her after a difficult search. However, after a brutal fight when they try to escape unharmed, Josh is killed. The girls manage to get away unscathed, however the baddies have won back their money.

We feel that writing an opening sequence for this type of film will be more realistically done than our previous idea. I didn't regret that we did that initial footage, because we gain invaluable knowledge about filming outside and experimenting with the manual focus.
