Film Synopsis

Our thriller opens with a establishing shot of an isolated, sinister woodland area, with a brook. The location is typical of the horror thiller genre. We will use low-key lighting to create a sinister atmosphere and shadows; creating a sense of mystery around the protogonist. Then we go to a shot of a mysterious figure emerging from the water, with an extreme close-up of her unhuman, white eyes; this creates enigma's and is intended to shock the audience.
The protogonist is a teenager girl who looks like the victim of an scientific experiment gone wrong. In the opening sequence we do not specifically outline what has happened to the protogonist to make her so abnormal. Instead we build the enigmas up slowly; with her movements and blank facial exprssions being inhuman, POV shots showing how she sees the world differently to us (created with a red filter) a photograph of her posed with her assumed boyfriend, showing that she was once normal.
The story is that the protogonist, after getting into a serious car accident where she was left unable to walk or talk was 'saved' by her scientist father; who implanted a BCI (brain-computer interface) directly into his daughters brain, transforming her into cybernetic organism or a 'cyborg'. However she is not the same person that she once was, and escapes from the lab she was being kept in, in search of her boyfriend. She then discovers that he has moved on, as she sees him with another girl, the last shot is of her picking up a weapon and knocking on his front door, a sinister glint in her eye.
Instead of the rest of the film panning out in the typical hollywood horror movie style, with the protogonist chasing after her ex boyfriend who has managed to escape her murderous clutches, we are going to do something a little different. At the end of the opening sequence we will use a fade out transition, showing that time has passsed between this scene and the next. The remainder of the film would be set in the past, using a non-linear narrative that is typical of independent films, showing the events that led up to the protogonist murdering her ex boyfriend. It would also answer many of the enigma's placed in the opening sequence, explaining to the audience what exactly happened to the protogonist to make her how she is today.
