Back to the Drawing Board

After our failure of our first final idea, our group had to move forward and develop a different idea.

Therefore we came up with a different storyline under the sub genre of Conspiracy Thrillers. I have added details to the storyline that slightly differ from the rest of the groups versions but I believe this adds a realistic element to the opening scene.

The basic opening scene involves an autistic teenage boy on his laptop on the social networking site, Facebook. He is scrolling down his home page when he sees an advert on the side of the screen which is advertising a computer product. Since the boy is very interested in technology and gadgets his attention is easily diverted towards this. When he clicks on this advert a page of links and codes appears which he is intrigued by and starts to connect links between the numbers. There will be close up shots of certain numbers and letters of the codes which will then be followed by a montage showing the boy typing frantically, a close up of his eyes darting around the screen, more close ups of the numbers on the screen and then suddenly the screen changes to show the FBI headquarters. Then the screen will fade to black and the title will role. The storyline is very much based on the Gary McKinnon incident of him hacking into US military and NASA computers using the name 'Solo'.



We found inspiration from the movie 'Mercury Rising' as the little boy in the film is autistic and is able to break codes also and therefore becomes the focus of the plot because he hacks into the FBI mainframe.
