Synopsis:

Our thriller introduction is going to be about a man walking through a forest and someone starts chasing him. He is then kidnapped by a random man who we do not know the identity of. At this point we do not have any idea why this is happening to our hero. When he awakes from being knocked out he sees that he is in an isolated room. He is then confronted by two people shouting and interrogating him. He is still yet to understand what is going on. So at this point we see a table full of tools that would supposedly be used for torturing him but he manages to escape. This is when a slight action scene will start between our hero and the kidnapper. Our hero will attempt to escape but is unsuccessful and is knocked out again.Then the film rewinds to 3 days before the kidnapping. We then witness the events that lead up to the kidnapping. It turns out that our protagonist had won the lottery 3 days before. It turns out that the kidnapping was not a case of mistaken identity but instead a plot made up to gain all of the money our protagonist won. Once our hero finds out this plan he manages to escape while the kidnappers are sleeping. But as our hero leaves the isolated room he realizes he is in his girlfriends garden. Confused, he makes his way into the house where he sees his girlfriend sorting through stacks of money. She pulls a gun on him and makes him get on his knees with his hands behind his head. She then proceeds to handcuff him to a radiator and tells him that she was behind the kidnapping. She hired the kidnappers so she could get revenge as she recently stumbled across text messages on his phone from her best friend who he was having an affair with. She wanted to steal all his money so she would never have to work again. Throughout the film the audience will be on the protagonists side but at this point the support shifts as we find out the hero wasn't quite a hero. The film ends on a cliffhanger as she has a gun to his head and is about to pull the trigger when armed police storm through the room. Shots are fired. The screen goes black. 

                        

Key Genre Conventions:

The key conventions of this will be an action thriller. Also there will be a sense of mystery as neither the audience or the protagonist has any idea what is going on.

Our film also will contain a red herring. This red herring is that it is our protagonists’ partner that organised the kidnapping.
