We didn't pick one idea, we decided to mix our ideas together instead.
Things that particularly stood out to us from the pitches for a thriller were the following..
-Psychologically disturbed person
-Unidentified mysterious creepy male figure who tortures young vulnerable women
-Keeping dna souvenirs of them (lock of hair)
-Deserted place/time -night time.
We settled with the idea of having a psychologically disturbed person who remains unidentified and mysterious in the opening. Preferably a creepy looking male figure to be a stalker as males are seen in a more violent, scary & dangerous way than women are. He would have one victim -an innocent young blonde woman as they are stereotypically seen as vulnerable and weak. I did a little research on real-life creepy stalkers to get some ideas and found something strange -a guy with a fetish for the hair of tge women he has kidnapped and killed. We decided to make our mysterious figure have this same fetish. Thrillers are usually set in derelict settings however our film had to be set in a public place as the young woman would have to be in a place where she is regularly seen. To make this as close to being derelict as possible, we decided to make the timing of filming at after hours. Midnight is a generic convention of thriller.
