After much debate our group finally decided on a new storyline for our opening sequence. We decided that the new sequence would be a a psychological thriller. A few examples of psychological thrillers which have influenced us whilst making our own thriller sequence includes films such as Shutter Island and Se7en.
Our Idea:
Our final idea consisted of the mental challenges encountered by a man and his mind as he has to deal with the overriding problems he encounters hallucinations which develop an alter ego in his own mind. The problem worsens and flashbacks of his latest psychiatrist visit who dismisses his condition with the intention and hope of the protagonist's condition steadily getting worse. The problems get worse and the hallucinations become more frequent causing his 'bad' alter ego to slowly take over leading to his eventual suicide.
Title:Our original name for our opening sequence was Run! however as the course events within the movie change it was clear we needed a name change. Due to the opening sequence consisting of the audience seeing the two very different personalities emerge. As a result of this we decided to call our film Counterpart. The reason for this being counterpart is essentially a different word for opposite which is reflective of the split mind/personality of the protagonist. We feel that the title of the film would give the audience an idea into the nature of the film.
