Starting Ideas & Plot Synopsis

At first, our group decided to come up with a film in the crime genre. This is because we wanted to try and demonstrate the seriousness and harshness of gangsters in London. This was inspired by from films such as Kidulthood and Bullet Boy. However, overtime we found that this genre was very limiting in terms of the fact that we wanted the actors to be predominantly teenagers, which we thought would be difficult to cast and manage. Also, we felt as though most films based around teenagers growing up in a tough area are often portrayed in a more light and funny way, whereas we wanted to make our opening the opposite.

As a result of this, we have decided to go with the idea of a psychological thriller film portraying the life of a boy who becomes obsessed with a girl that he sees around his local area on a regular basis. He becomes obsessed with her and begins to stalk her. He takes & collects pictures of her all over his room and has possessions of hers, such as a lock of her hair or lipstick.

Moreover, we are going to start our opening sequence by beginning with a few seconds of darkness, and then the moment between the girl and the stalker that eventually spirals into something more sinister and eerie. This will then be followed by a cork board littered with photos of the girl he's obsessed with.

Throughout the film, the girl will slowly begin to realise what's occurring; She is warned by one of her friends to be careful of him as he has a history of being eerie and too personal.The girl will then have to face the boy and explain to him that he cannot continue acting the way he does. He becomes more and more jealous because of events taking place with other characters such as relationships and friendships that he longs for, which eventually could lead to death.
