Brief Synopsis of Our Thriller, 'Marked'

Our Thriller is going to start with a boy asleep, you will then hear a gunshot, he then jerks bolt upright. After hearing the noise the boy goes to investigate. He checks some of the rooms including his parent’s room. The bed covers are ruffled up, as if his parents had been there not long ago. He establishes that nothing is wrong upstairs and decides to pursue the problem downstairs. As he is walking down the stairs, he hears the sound of the fuzzing television; he goes in to investigate, finding his father lying on the couch. As he goes to wake him up, the dads arm reveals that he has been shot, this also reveals some sort of crest on the father’s neck. The boy panics and runs out of the house to look for help. As the boy is running, it cuts to an enigmatic figure looking out of the window of the boy’s room, and then shows the crest on the man's neck. The boy runs around the corner, to be welcomed by car headlights, the car seems to almost be waiting for him. It then cuts to a shot of inside the car, which shows another enigmatic figure, with the same crest. The boy is then silhouetted, and then it fades to black and reveals the title, 'Marked'. We decided to call it 'Marked' because of the mark on the enigmatic figures neck, which would link the father to the figures. We decided to leave it on a cliff-hanger, with the shot inside the car, because it then gets the audience to think about who the enigmatic figures were, and who killed the father, the furthermore, what did the crest mean, was it a gang?

  1. I like your idea. I'd suggest you begin practising your shots as soon as possible so that you can experiment and thus have more choices from raw footage when it comes to the edit.
