Plot Outline For Our Own Thriller Film

• Jenny Vincent is a babysitter. She is looking after a couple’s young child at the family home. The child’s parents are having a meal at a restaurant that evening, hence the need for a babysitter.
• Whilst the husband and wife are out, Jenny receives a peculiar phone call from a mysterious man asking after Mrs Anderson, the mother of the child Jenny is babysitting. When the man is informed that Jenny is merely the babysitter, and that Mrs Anderson is not in, the line goes dead.
• Our opening scene suggests that the film will revolve around Jenny being endangered, but this is in fact a red herring and we have intentionally done this to add more excitement and ambiguity to our thriller. Jenny is not a very important character in the film whatsoever.
• When at the restaurant, Mrs Anderson vanishes without a trace when making a routine trip to the toilet. Mr Anderson, her husband begins to worry when she doesn’t return after a considerable length of time.
• Mr Anderson questions the waiter about the disappearance of his wife, to which the waiter replies - Mr Anderson entered the restaurant alone and he knew nothing of his wife’s location. The husband continually tries to prove that he came to the restaurant with his wife and she has now disappeared, but the response he gets suggests otherwise. There is evidence which suggests she really wasn’t with him at all, such as her coat vanishing from the coat room and only one meal order being processed.
• All these things, together with the confused staff’s reactions to Mr Andersons behaviour make Mr Anderson begin to doubt himself and question his own sanity.
• When Mrs Anderson went to the toilet, she was abducted by a gang whose plan had been organised by her husband’s old business partner. Mr Anderson had a lot of financial problems with the ex-business associate and could not repay what was owed to him currently. The gang had taken his wife and had paid the restaurant excessive amounts of money to assist them with their evil scheme. Mrs Anderson was now being held at ransom and the crime had been covered up by the restaurant alibi.
• Throughout the film, Mr Anderson is continuously tested by a variety of tricks the gang plays to make him feel as though he really is losing his mind. This includes removing all his wife’s belongings from the house and any other trace she was in existence.
• There are short flashbacks during the film which give the audience clues about what has happened to Mrs Anderson, but the entirety of her disappearance is not uncovered until the end of the film.
• Mr Anderson works his way through the film, gradually piecing together what has happened to his wife. Discussions with old friends, and the babysitters strange phone call, lead him to the fact his wife’s disappearance has something to do with his old business associate.
• He visits the suspect and he states he knows nothing about any disappearance, but Mr Anderson knows better than to trust him and gives the man an ultimatum. ‘Give me my wife back, or I’ll kill you’ The man breaks down under the strain and reveals all about Mrs Andersons whereabouts.
• Mr Anderson is so furious, he shoots the business partner anyway and goes to the place his wife is being held immediately.
• Mr and Mrs Anderson are reunited after a battle with many other men working for the business associate and Mr Anderson sees that Jenny gets a reward for her help in foiling the businessman’s master plan to get one over on Mr Anderson.
