Film Synopsis...

     If our film was to be made into a feature length film the main protagonist the ‘taxi driver’ will be a psychopathic serial killer who kidnaps multiple people, in particular vulnerable women typically with small children. The woman and baby in the boot - heard at the end of the opening – will endure multiple types of abuse; physical, mental, sexual and psychological which will be inflicted  by the protagonist who we soon learn to find has psychological problems. One of the themes in the film will be obsession which sticks to the typical conventions of the thriller genre. We want our audiences to be shocked throughout, to achieve this we would make sure that the taxi driver appears as ordinary as possible which will make what he does even more shocking than it already is, this is why we felt it was important to show that he was a family man (included in the picture in our two minute opening). There will be a heroic character that will eventually ‘come to the rescue’, either a police detective or a family member, however we are undecided as to who it will be just yet. In contrast to the mystery convention of a psychological thriller our audiences will be very involved with what is happening throughout which is very different to the majority of psychological thrillers already out there.
