When we were told what we were meant to make a thriller we all had different ideas on the subject, I was hoping for a thriller that was based around either nuclear holocaust, a sci fi thriller where a man goes back in time and tries to change events for the better or one where someone knows the truth about the 9/11 attack and is being made to keep quiet because of it. Out of these three we liked my nuclear holocaust idea best because the time travel one sounded to similar to 'the butterfly effect' and the 9/11 attack might be a sensitive issue to some whereas in a world of nuclear winter we didn't know what would happen. Ben Hilton had an idea for either a rapist or murder thriller where the girl or victim would be hidden while the stalker looks for him/her these ideas were scrapped because we had previously done a murder in our practice thriller and wanted to try something new and we couldn't do the rapist one without getting two intimate with a girl and plus no-one in their right mind would agree to it. Anthony the third member of our group had an idea to do a soldier who deserted his squad and was getting tracked down because of it, though we liked the sound of this idea it sounded to original and nowhere near scary enough but then we had a thought to combine mine and his ideas that are set in war times and put them together. We now had a setting where a soldier leaves his friend to die after an ambush we were happy with this and we came to the conclusion that it could all be set in a flashback like 'Saving Private Ryan' was, this way the man had been living with the guilt for a long time. Ben came up with the idea of us setting the flashback in the Vietnam war so that over 20 years had past. We now had an idea and believed that any plot holes or things we'd missed out we would compensate for along the way, with that in mind we went on to make our storyboard.
