Main task - Diary entry three

When thinking about my idea for my thriller film i don't think that it sounds that necessarily as though it would fit into the genre of thrillers. So therefore, i am going have tweaked my idea. So this is going to be my second idea and see which one my teacher prefers.

I am continuing on with the idea of a soldier based story who have just got back from war.

A group of men have just got back from war and they are now going about their daily regime. This includes seeing them doing a training exercise and also sitting together chatting. It is plain to see within this day that there is a particular divide amongst the men.

 A letter comes through to the sargent of the men, explaining that they have found out about torture that has taken place with a group of his men while they were out at war. It is explained that there are 5 members to the group that took part in the crime and that he needs to go undercover and work out who they were.

He begins to look for the men, talking to them all. He soon finds four men that fit the bill and when questioned they tell him everything that he has done. He is sickened by what they tell him, he questions them about a leader and say that it is none of them. He sends their names away to the head quarters and they get taken away.

He then begins to dream about what they have told him, he see's the leader and gets instantly angry. He tries to see his face but cannot. Every night he dreams of the same. Forever getting closer to the leader, the dreams are becoming less blurred every time. During the day he gets consumed with trying to find out who this man is. He knows it is someone in his group, he investigates into his men that are left.

In his final dream the whole of the dream is no longer blurry and he finally finds out who the person is. He wakes up before the audience can see who it is. He wonders around, worried. Scared. He packs a bag, delicately putting a pistol into the bag and leaves his house. Leaving his family and everything behind. He walks up the streets in the dead of night. He walks up to another house, takes his mobile out and rings the person on the inside, his second in command comes to the door. They get in the car, go to the middle of nowhere and tells him everything. He then explains the dream, we can see the events through his eyes, and as the he tells him all about the person who it is the leader of the group leading the torture turns around and we find out that it is the sargent. It returns to the present and the sargent has a gun to his head, he explains that he doesn't know what is going on with his head, he wants to end it. The second tries to get him not to kill himself, they are wrestling with the gun, we hear a gun shot and everything goes black.
