Thriller Planing: Plot Line

Our thriller plot is very basic and easily understandable. The story shows a young teenage girl arriving at a train station and boarding a train, this young girl then reveals her past by using jump cuts to her telling it to a physiatrist. The girl talks about her father and we learn that he is a gangster with a corrupt mind and no sense of justice. The girl is running away from her father after accidently witnessing him murder someone. We are going to use long shots to establish the idea of isolation and use jump cuts to show her state of mind. These ideas are influenced by various thrillers: Se7en gave us the inspiration for using the jump cuts to establish an unstable state of mind. Homme Du Train heavily features trains and connotes the idea of running away which we thought was very successful. Homme Du Train also uses random shots of scenery and noise clips to set up the scene which we aim to use. Strangers on a train is another thriller which we found closely related to ours, I liked the idea of randomly meeting a stranger on a train and then conducting a plan. I also like the way Strangers on a train creates characters and introduces them.
