Developed Idea

We took the feedback we received from our pitch into consideration and started rebuilding our idea.
We thought about conventions we might see in a Thriller instead of a horror, which is what we previously were accidentally creating.

We looked at a more "hero" figure, where the audience will support the protagonist. We came up with an espionage thriller where the character is similar to a James Bond style figure. We thought of a man who is an ex-police man. He retired from duty due to the murder of his wife under his police-watch. He now lives with his terminally ill daughter

The opening sequence consists of the protagonist waking up in a blank room with a big metal door. As he looks around he notices that the door is bolted with a big padlock and scattered around the floor are hundreds of keys. There is a note on the door that orders him to find the correct key before time runs out. The protagonist begins to panic and fumble for the correct key, unsuccessfully finding the correct one. There is some diegetic sound that increases in volume to which the protagonist can hear and starts to panic as the noise gets closer. The sequence ends with the protagonist finding a key and putting it into the padlock, however we don't see whether the key worked or not. 

We then pitched this idea and the feedback that we received was positive. However there are some things that we need to think about, such as what is going to make the protagonist more franctic. We thought about some sort of disturbing diegetic sound that's advancing closer to the room.

We will continue developing this idea and move into pre-production discussions.
