We started by looking at a list of typical thriller conventions such as:
darkness
woods
suspence
knifes
guns
murder
death
monsters
shadows
execution
resurection
mystery
blood
violence.
small spaces
being trapped
Eventually we arrived on the idea of a man by the name of randal merrit who is charged with multiple counts of murder and is given the death sentence by the state of texas and is executed. Then there is a cut to him alive but visibly in a later time and in a public place watching a group of teenanges and not only are the audience wondering whether or not it is the same person and if so how has he arrived in this location and time period. But it also becomes evident that if this is the man who was executed he may be about to repeat the crimes that he previously comitted. The reason why we picked this was due to the fact that we did not want to do the typical thriller/horror template so decided to go with more of a thriller/mystery idea in the way in which the audience watching the opening sequance of this film will be made to think as to whether this is the same man who they just watched be exectuted, and whether or not he will strike again.
