Wrong Return: Pre-Production Film


I have finished writing my treatment for my thriller idea, which is about a married couple and the husband is a addict. The wife doesn't know that about him. Because of his addiction everything in his life goes wrong and he doesn't know what to do or how to protect his family.
That was my idea for a film, which I have written out and elaborated on it.

I talked to my group about the film opening and they said it was good, but in the end we decided not to do my idea but combine it with one other persons and we came out with a better sounding movie and film opening.


So the treatment and main story summed up in a short paragraph...


The opening of this scene is set in a secluded forest. It then moves on to show a woman, Angela sleeping in the middle of the woods. The camera starts to zoom in. Suddenly the woman wakes up and gets up. She is confused she looks lost. It cuts to a flash back it’s a man chopping some vegetables. We don’t know who the man is; we presume he’s her husband; however the atmosphere in the kitchen isn’t right. It flashes forward a year. She is walking in a village on her way to work. She looks happier than in both scenes before. She gets a phone call from a police officer saying that he has looked into her case and found a missing poster for her and that she can give her the number and hopefully she can back to her family. She looks nervous but takes the number off the officer and decides to call the number on the poster. She calls it. We see a man answer the phone, he is sitting on a chair facing a wall and on the wall there are lots of pictures of Angela in lots different places with different people. It is clear she is not on the line to her husband, or if she is, do not have an ordinary marriage. It then fades to black and the title of the film comes in with music.


We started writing the story board for our combined film, and we talked about what camera angles we should use, how long the clips should be and if we need more clips or less.
I made a Mood Board for our film which is 'Wrong Return'.
