Real Text

• Kidnapped (2011)- this is where we got the idea of making our film back-to-front; having the kidnapping at the beginning.

• Catfish- the film Catfish helped us to come up with the idea of using social media within our kidnap and how people can pretend to be someone they’re not over the internet.

Idea for the opening...

The opening credits is going to be black, flashinging police lights edited on top.

Edit a pre recorded 999 police call into the background of credits.

sirens are faded in background
