initial ideas for opening thriller

Our first idea was set in a derelict building, where two protagonists are provoking each other's weaknesses. However, we had a few problems with this idea. For example, we found out that the safety of this idea was probably not that good, and that it would be hard to find an abandoned building.

Another idea is the thriller of "Paranoid". The thriller would be set around a protagonist who has paranoi and therefore thinks everyone is out to get him. We would introduce a antagonist to fully explore the protagonist's weakness. The opening would contain the protagonist walking through a busy shopping centre, whilst the camera is distorted and abstract to create a panicked atmosphere.
We thought though, that it wouldnt be possible to film the shots we needed without being told to leave so this idea was scrapped and we brainstormed some more of our ideas.

In the end, we settled with the idea of being obsessed with someone because we had many different thoughts as to how we could film it, what our mise en sene would be (like our polaroid pictures) and how we could leave the audience answering questions after our opening sequence, like why they are obsessed and who is the one being followed.
