Our final idea - Synopsis

In class we wrote a brief synopsis of our opening. here it is:

Open with a man working at a laptop in an official looking building and office. The man is nervous, looking at the clock, waiting for the clock to reach a certain time so that he can leave. Clock reaches 6 PM and the man quickly closes his laptop, takes his USB stick and leaves hastily. Out side we follow the man down the street, the viewer will get the sense that he is being followed or watched. The pace is very fast, switching shots every couple of seconds to build suspense.
The pace slows as the man enters a tunnel but the tension is built again with the sound of footsteps as someone approaches our character. A woman bumps into the man, dropping everything she was holding, the man helps her collect her belongings and they connect. Shortly after the man leaves, anxious to get home. As the man leaves the woman stands up, smirks and we see she has the USB stick from earlier on. She walks off into the distance.

As you can see some camera shots have been worked into our synopsis, once we have a final shot list we can publish it and you can see how our thriller opening is coming together.
