suspense/ thriller: our storyline

Angela and I decided to pick suspense/ thriller. We have combined many ideas and have gotten those ideas from the films, scream and premonition. The opening scene would start with the introduction of the main character. For example, the character would get ready to go to bed, and in the film premonition and scream, the opening scene also starts by introducing the characters. For example, they're going about on their daily routine, and for that reason, Angela and i decided to show our character in their nightly routine. Our story is about a girl who was kidnapped as a child, but was rescued at 13 years of age. Her abuser was no where to be found, therefore implying that
he's on the loose. The protagonist has ptsd disorder and is scared that her abuser will come back for her. I think that a good plot twist would be  for the protagonist to get revenge on her abuser, but if we go with the original idea, the last scene will include a close up of a dark room where the stalker/ abuser would be looking at photos of the girl ( we're not able to see their face) and then it fades to an audience to show that it could be anyone.Another really important detail is that we want the audience to get the feeling of the character and for them to feel sympathy for her, therefore I'm doing research about the symptoms of a person living with ptsd disorder, the characteristics of an abuser, and facts about kidnapping. This will allow for both of us to get more involved in creating the character from scratch. I'm really excited about the genre that i've chosen with Angela and I hope that this storyline could keep people on their toes.

This is the trailer for scream, and even though it's a horror film, it's also a suspense. This is an example of the tone were trying to set in our film
