After discussing the second idea further, we were trying to work out a way to produce this idea. Knowing we already had one actress in mind to play a lead female role, we tried to base a more detailed plotline including this character. We really struggled to find a plot line that we had the ability and equipment to film, and make look realistic. We found this really difficult as these sorts of storylines, involve blood, and gore, such as people cutting limps off, or drowning eachother. These types of scenes need an incredible amount of special effects and involve a very large risk assessment, and therefore we would not be able to film this, in a way that looks realistic enough to be believed by an audience.
Because of this we began drafting ideas again to adapt them as much as possible to make them realistic, and as high quality as possible.
We tried to look beyond the Halloween idea as we realised that although this seemed like a good idea as it is a frightening night, there is a limit to what can be related to this due to the supernatural being the main association.
We looked at the idea of a hostage situation again, therefore we would be able to use the female actress we had in mind. Whilst brainstorming ideas we thought we finally came up with one.
Firstly, a business deal occurs between two men, one does very well off of this deal and the other does very badly and looses everything, including his house, his business and his family. This man wants revenge on the other man as he blames him. He begins stalking his daughter, as he think this is the best way to get to him.
Whilst watching the daughter he hears her parents are going away for the weekend for their anniversary, and takes this as the perfect time for his plan. We thought we could use some parts of our first idea here, with the doorbell being rung and no one being there and the girl ringing the police.
He finds a way into her house and their is a series of scenes where she is trying to hide from him, before he eventually finds her. This then leads to him catching her and holding her hostage.
Her parents keep ringing her from their weekend away and can't get hold of her so end up leaving their holiday early.
As a group we really liked this idea as a whole, we liked how simple this idea was, which led to the narrative being a lot clearer, however there were still different little plots happening throughout! We also like the idea of using some of our original ideas as they are what we related to a thriller immediately.
