Early ideas

Initial ideas

To begin with, we discussed different ideas for our thriller opening among the group, we each decided it best to think of 3 ideas each then present them to the rest of the group.

My own ideas included, a flashback to a terrible experience the main character has suffered in his/ her life and cannot escape the memory. another idea was of some sort of mafia deal gone wrong, involving a chase scene. My third idea involved a teenage girl being stalked by a middle aged man, and she beleives he is folllowing her for an unknown reason, I did not have much planned for that last idea.

Another member of the group believed a flashback to the vietnam war would be a good idea, and that the character keeps halcunating his experiences of the war, we decided to use the idea of a flashback to vietnam and my own idea of experiences the character has been through and he cannot escape.
