Thrillerwork- Changes


Alterations


We've been through multiple changes throughout our thriller process. When we first offered our thriller idea, it was turned down as it involved children, and it was far too complicated for a beginning sequence. It involved a corridor scene of a matron delivering medication to a girl with a mental illness, ending up getting drowned in the bath. Matt was not keen at all on this idea. So we took the detail of a murderess and switched it in that she kills a man- leaving many questions to ask for the further film.

We looked at the pros and cons of many ideas, such as a prostitute and a wealthy businessman, or in the slums a murder takes place, but none seemed possible to do. We've changed their names, to make them a lot more realistic and suitable for the situation from Theo, to Ryan, to Barry. Ava has always remained the same as we see it as a seductive named, which we thought perfect for the role. We were told to change our previous title Valkyrie as it had already been a film starring Tom Cruise. Therefore we changed the title to Mistress as it links to our theme and is appropriate for the content.


Final synopsis


Ava, a black widow, has her own motives for killing her former lover Barry. The opening sequence begins with Barry tied down on a bed and a figure standing over him smoking. Barry is then straddled by his assailant and is strangled with his own belt. The killer then removes their gloves and takes their hood down  revealing Ava as she kisses her hand and places it on his head. She then lights another cigarette and leaves the bedroom.
