Initial Ideas

Shutter - Initial Ideas

We want to try and make a story revolving around two people and try and avoid dialogue, that I feel is important, since it is only an opening with a two minute running time, I feel like atmosphere and ambiguity will be a key feature to play off, rather than cramming the plot of a blockbuster into that amount of time.

So eventually I came up with the idea of following a day in the life of a girl and the boy who is so obsessed with a her that he follows her, takes photographs of her, then eventually breaks into her house. I want to try and document each character with fair running time and make the movie feel very realistic, like the story has no specific direction or goal as such, but the film is just a document of the two people's day.
