The basic premise for our film introduction is that a killer lives in an isolated, deserted area through his desire to be forgotten and ignored by the rest of humanity, due to having a troubled and unfortunate childhood. He told no one that he would disappear, and so whenever somebody comes to look for him he kills them, so as to avoid them returning and telling everyone that he is still alive and living in isolation.
His childhood has effected him mentally, to the extent that he keeps a kind of 'video diary' after he kills someone, describing who they were and how the killing took place. Our film introduction will end with him being visited by a police officer who has presumably noticed that people who leave to look for him don't come back, and has managed to locate roughly his whereabouts. Our film will end with the police officer killing the antagonist. As this is just a film introduction, we imagine that the rest of the film would be either the antagonist's life prior to this event leading up to it, or just how the aftermath of his death and the police officer discovering that he killed the people who came looking for him affected the people his victims were involved with. This idea of the whole film's events not happening chronologically was inspired by thrillers such as Memento, and the idea of an event that occurs at the beginning having an impact on the lives of the characters for the rest of the film was inspired by Brighton Rock.
We have included the 'video diary' as it would allow us to intercut two different types of footage; the still camera and the handheld camera. We felt as though this would make for an interesting confrontation scene between the police officer and the antagonist.
