Initial Ideas

Lucy and a group of friends go on holiday together, to get away after there exams. While on there way back Lucy talks to one of her friends about how difficult her parents can be and how she really doesn't get on with them. This conversation is so that the audience can get a small picture of her relationship with her parents before we get into the story. Lucy finally arrives home after a very long day of travelling to discover her parents don't know who she is. They allow her to stay one night in their house as it is late at night when she knocks on the door. The next morning they ask her to leave over breakfast. Obviously Lucy is extremely confused and doesn't quite understand what is happening. She knows as much as the audience does to why this is happening. After thinking for a while about what to do she decides that if she finds some photographs of her with her parents they may remember and everything will go back to normal but as she now cant get into the house she finds it a struggle to find this photos. Eventually she decides that maybe she should go to the police station and see if they may know something. As Lucy is over 16 they are allowed to give her her birth documents where Lucy finds out she is in fact adopted and these people she grew up with aren't in fact her real parents. At first she is worried and upset and confused, a mix of a lot of emotions but she knows the thing to do is to confront them. With birth certificate in hand and a strong want to meet her new parents she goes home, where her parents admit to everything and agree that maybe she should see her real birth parents. As soon as you see her birth parents you can tell instantly that these people are the people that Lucy looks like she grew up with. They sound like her, act like her and have that loud bubbly personality that lacked in her adopted parents.


For my initial idea i decided i wanted to do a teen thriller, the reason i wanted to do this was because it wasnt something that i had been interested in before and i thought that it would be a good change.
