My Thriller Idea

For my thriller idea, I decided to do a sequence based on the scene in Halloween, where Mike Myers is looking for the girl hiding in the house.

My thriller was supposed to be very much a thriller horror, aimed at a target audience who are probably men, aged from 15 to 40. It is a young testosterone boosted audience as it is quiet a scary and disturbed film.

My idea for my thriller was about a boy who saw a glimpse into the future, and used a clock he saw in the future to try and safe his sister.

The sequence would start with a high angle crane shot of the boy, sweating and moving around in bed. Whilst zooming in there would be snippets of what the boy was seeing, which involved vital information, such as the clock. The boy then wakes up and looks at the clock. This is when he notices that what he has just seen is about to happen. What he saw was his sister being abused, and raped by her father. The boy then goes to try and find his sister, and gets there just before the father. They can hear the father approaching the room so they decide to hide. They jump into a walk in wardrobe where they are silent and all you can see is the shadow of the father in the room. The children wait until they think the father has gone and then the boy slowly and quietly opens the door. Suddenly the screen turns black and you hear the girl scream.

This is so the audience is left not knowing what has happened, and the rest of the movie is finding out what happened and what else the boy saw in the future and whether he can learn to use these powers to his benefit. The unfortunate thing is, he only seems to be able to see disturbed, unwanted visions.
