Some initial ideas / themes /settings

• Woodland
• Darkness (nightime)
• Urban setting?
• False hero (possible femme fatale?)
• Opening death

One idea i have is that the film should open with a black screen, with the sound of someone running whilst panting. These sounds would continue, as the next should would track the feet of the victim running from side view from left to right. The camera would then pan up, whilst still tracking the character, to reveal the upper body and face of the victim. He would then stumble and fall over, but the camera would continue moving to the right for half a second and then stop. The next shot would be of the victim on the floor, clambering on the ground desperatly tryin to get up (medium / long shot - slightly high angle). A chase sequence would then ensue, with the identity of the killer becoming more and more apparent as the sequence progresses, climaxing with the killer walking towards a defenceless victim. This would instantly create enigma and force the audience to question why the victim was running, why there is a murder etc.
