So far, I'm still playing around with a few ideas for the plot line.
Some of the ideas include:
- Having the 2 minute opening be shot completely from the murder's perspective so that the audience is puzzling together what is going on without realizing it is the murder right away. This idea allows for insight onto what the murder is doing and his/her motives. I like this idea a lot because often times murder mysteries are from the victims perspective or the victim's family/friends perspectives. This would give me a chance to really get into the psychological lens and show my creativity. However, it has been difficult for me to come up with a plot line that isn't too abstract nor too open with information. I want the intro to set up somewhat of a cliffhanger so that the audience is tuned in and intrigued to see what follows and I can't do that if the into doesn't make sense or gives too much information away too quickly.
- I have considered different ages for the murdered- possibly a child with a lot of built up anger and made the killing look like an accident, a teenager seeking revenge, or an adult with either mental issues or a complex past.
- A memory of the murder as a child possibly getting abused or left behind or getting bullied, giving some possible reasoning to his/her later destructive behavior. I like this idea a lot as this provides insight on the murderer and teaches the audience a little bit of a lesson about paying attention to children and making sure no one gets abused mentally or physically. However, this into doesn't;t target the suspense factor or cliffhanger effect that I'm trying to achieve. Maybe by incorporating a shot scene of the killer as an adult and the rest of the into consisting of the memory or vice versa with the memory in the beginning and the killer being shown as an adult at the end could make this idea target all the emotions and effects that I'm going for.
I will choose a plot line some time this week, so far I'm leaning towards my last bullet including a memory and the murderer as an adult to create complexity and suspense.
