Outline and Synopsis of Opening Sequence


Outline

 My group and I have decided to use an opening sequence which will entail a series of jump-cuts, using various visual camera effects, to betray the idea of a young girl on a night out; eventually getting in an illegal cab.  Having consumed too much alcohol on her night out in the club this leads her to be unaware of her surroundings and being taken near a darkened area of town by the illegal cab driver. Unlike the typical thrillers where the female is the obvious victim, the roles switch. Katie, the main actress, does something which will affect the rest of her life.

The synopsis 

After a dramatic and unexpected beginning, the consequences of Katie’s actions are gradually revealed to the audience through a series of flash backs in which we find out Katie has been sexually abused by her father as a young child. This explains her reaction to the male driver at the beginning of the film and as the film continues we see a pattern of Katie's distrust in men. In her psychological mind set she feels as though innocent citizens are being secretly targeted and brutally slaughtered. Katie then comes to realisation of the horrific events she has caused throughout her life, in which she is eventually tracked down by the police. However, her revenge on men doesn't end there...
