5. a brief outline of the story, character and style of the opening

My film opening is going to be in the genre of mystery.Might do parts of it in black and white. I might set it in Deans Bush. The things I wish to explore different types of film. I think this is different to anything I have ever done before. I think the shots would have to be quite stylised. My main idea is about justice as a girl is killed and then a detective is trying to solve her murder. I wish to evoke the emotions of excitement and suspense and have people sitting on the edge of their seats. I think to do this I will have to get some suspensful music and make the shots stylised and smooth. But I will have some quick cross cutting to match the music. The music will have to be fast paced and kind of action like so that the audience has that feeling of excitement that I hope to evoke. I would like the audience to feel the anticipation at at the end of my movie and want to find out more.

My main storyline is of a girl who is very young, naive and very innocent looking but represents kind of an everyone girl. She will get killed maybe 2 minutes into the film and then their will be a detective who starts to work on the case. Yet the killer will also be the detective.  I will have to be very subtle about this so that the audience know but may not be 100 %. I think I will set it in a forest/ old fashioned house so I might use the Riccarton house to do this. The main character will be a typical teenage girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and very innocent and pretty. Her killer is going to have to look a bit shifty but not to shifty as he has to also be the detective. I think until you see him as the detective he isn't going to be seen to much just his shadows and maybe his eyes. Then when you see him as the detective something will happen so that the audience realises that he is also the killer.

I wish to explore the ideas of creating an intenxsetmosphere with lots of suspense. I wish to explore the idea of toying with human emotions. I might start off happy or just a normal movie but then change it to a detective movie half way through.
