Synopsis and title ideas

The final idea I decided on is a psychological, missing person thriller in which a young girl is abducted and after a number of years held captive, she escapes the house in which she is being kept and runs away. The film will open with the girl escaping the house, and will cut repeatedly to a police investigation board of her own missing persons case. Cutting in this way will reveal narrative clues that would else be lost in the first two minutes, creating intrigue for the audience. If I was to continue and make the whole film, it would follow the present life of the escaped abductee, Lucy, but also the work of the police in their attempts to track down her kidnapper, and eventually flashbacks to her years inside the house as she begins to accept and adjust to life outside. At the very end of the film, the kidnapper would be shown with another abductee, repeating patterns he had with the main character, as the police find him. As is common in thrillers, tension would be high throughout the film, and a conventional happy ending would be too mundane for this type of film, therefore the disturbed kidnapper would suddenly commit suicide before he is caught by police for a plot twist. As I am only filming the first few minutes, I cannot give this much away, but by planting narrative clues and plot trails I hope to captivate an audience. 

Some film title ideas I came up with include:

- Stolen
- Predator And Prey
- Two Million Minutes
- Abducted
- Underdog
