Individual narrative idea

The narrative is the plot of the film and an important aspect of any thriller film, as it can dictate the appropriate target audience for the film. The narrative is what hooks the audience into watching the film further, making the film successful.

My own idea for a new thriller film was to show the audience the sections of the different events that lead up to the main character "Cameron" committing suicide. The beginning of my thriller sequence will start with the audience seeing Cameron hanging himself, this will create an enigma and hopefully hook the audience. Cameron will have a dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality) which brings out his dark, twisted, violent side that the audience will see through him killing. There will be a voiceover after the suicide which allows the antagonist to talk directly towards the audience which will help to engage them. Following the suicide scene the audience will be shown a flashback of a dinner scene between Cameron and his mum. The scene will start out quiet, this will show the tension and awkwardness between the two characters. The mum will attempt to start a conversation but Cameron will be acting annoyed and uninterested. In the final scene, Cameron's girlfriend will arrive at the house shortly after the murder of Grace. She is completely oblivious to the events that have just happened and so walks further into the house to find the mum dead at the table. The screen will go dark, leaving the audience in suspense and wanting to watch the rest of the film. The girlfriend "Harmony" and the mum "Grace" both have positive, uplifting names that tell the audience that they are the victims/innocent. An advantage of my idea is that it will create enigma and engage to audience. However, the idea is quite detailed, and as a group we many not be able to fit it all into an opening sequence.
