Final idea

Our story line consists of a girl thats leading the perfect life who is being watched and observed by her complete opposite, a girl who is lonely and envious. The girl is stalking the other because of a previous relationship in the past where the envious girl was left out and bullied by the "perfect girl". Our thriller film starts with the end, allowing the story to continue throughout the film. Allowing the audience to be gripped and feel suspense, encouraging them to continue watching.

Our thriller is a based around crime between two teenage girls aged 15. It involves one envious girl stalking and following the 'perfect girl' seeking revenge and pain. We will use two settings to make the scenes clear and easier to use a range of shots without confusion. We have chose these settings because............................

Below the scenes we will have the timings along the bottom to show the step by step events of the killing and stalking. Which also gives the feel of a diary or documentary, varying our film and making it different. Our film also describes and portrays different stereotypes and the effects it has on people, driving them to the craziest of things.
