Initial Idea

We have been put into groups and we are having our first meeting on Wednesday so we set a target to have an initial idea by then, and this the favourite one of mine:

The opening is shots of a normal, middle-aged (early 30s) man in his house (study) organising/arranging/cleaning surgical tools, and sometimes there is maybe a photograph of him and his wife shown. Then the phone rings and he answers it and you see him pick up one of the photographs, smile (slyly) and say 'I'm sorry she's not here at the moment can i take a message', then he snaps on rubber surgical gloves.
It's late (around duskish, or else it would be too dark to shoot) and he goes into his garden and starts to walk up his garden path towards the very overgrown part at the back of his garden towards his shed (with his surgical tools). He scrapes the door open and there tied up is the women in his photos - i.e. his wife.
I think the title should be something like 'the ultimate betrayal' - or possibly something a little more warped. I think this idea is good because it leaps straight into the action and because it taps into audience fears - someone close abusing your trust/something twisted going on right in front of you.

An alternate in the structure could use parallel editing - so in between the shots of the male lead there would be blurry POV shots of his wife waking up from being drugged/unconscious etc.
Although to add a real element of surprise he would have to be doing something very not suspicious so the audience thinks 'oh dear, he doesn't know his wife is in trouble' - but then as someone comes to open the door of the shed we see that it's him. But this presents the problem of continuity wise it wouldn't be much of a surprise as we would have to see him going towards a shed and the audience would inevitably assume he is going to see her.

So although there are still some formalities/problems i think it's good because, as far as i know, it hasn't been done in previous years as they seem to have focused on stalking, abduction, and gangster thrillers.
