Our new idea is based on flipping what the audience think is going to happen, and keep confusing and shocking them.
It will start with a man being chased through the forest by two men in suits, the normal cliche of a Thriller film. Drum & Bass music is used to build speed and try to build tension. Then the main character will take his headphones out and begin to look around, then get fiercely grabbed on the shoulder by the two other men. However instead of what the audience think will happen, him being jumped, instead they will say 'We need you'. Implying after all this, it was not a chase as much as these three men are together, this is an attempt to flip the story on its head and set back whoever is watching.
Then it will cut to the men as they begin to enter the warehouse locking themselves into this dark room. They will walk towards the character sitting in a blacked out corner of the warehouse, and begin to engage in dialogue between each other. The main character asking for the baseball bat and instead of then going to hit the man in the corner, flipping the story again he will turn and hit one of the two other men. This will be done in a P.O.V shot so it feels like you are being hit, which will startle the audience and confuse them more, in a effort to not give away any of the real story and what is actually going on.
Finally the man will wake up who swung the bat very hot and in shock. He will continue to look at his alarm clock, which will read 3:13 AM, then the screen will go black and all the audience will be able to hear is a knock at the door. This will let this audience know that this time/number will be significant in the rest of the film and will create a good, intriguing end to a entertaining first scene.
