Fern Morrey (Protagonist) comes back from her shopping trip as she walks back to her car. A young boy (Jason Cannon) stands suspiciously glaring over at Fern, waiting for her to stop whilst he catches her attention. As she stops by her car struggling to put her shopping bags away she is intruded by Jason Cannon, he offers to help but when Fern replies "No" he aggressively pulls the shopping bags away from her wanting to help. A phone suddenly rings and not realising where the sound is coming from Fern ignores it and walks away, until she hears the sudden sound again walks to the boot and realises it’s the young girl who she’s abducted. She slams the boot door shut and gets into the car, beside her is an alcohol bottle, tempted as the bird on the Whiskey bottle glares at her. Previously Fern was an alcoholic and because of all the pressure she is feeling for kidnapping the young girl the temptation slowly gives in, she soon swings back the bottle and heads of for the road. As she’s driving she realises the guilt eating away at her and stops the car at an abandoned road. She then goes to open the boot, release the rope of her hands and feet and notices a necklace the young girl is wearing. Memories start to flash back at Fern as she comes to a realisation she gave that particular necklace to her younger sister 10 years ago when she ran away from home. Eventually after putting the pieces together and understanding that the revenge on whom she is taking it on is someone who was very close to her once in her life.

The meaning behind our title name 'One for the Road' is based on two ideas in our opening.
Firstly, as our film narrative is based on the road therefore we wanted the name to represent the full meaning of our narrative. Secondly, 'one for the road' defines having a final drink before leaving a place and because the main character is a recovering alcoholic, this connotes to the audience. This is our updated logo. The black connotes sophistication, evil and mystery, and the red connotes danger, urgency and seduction. This seemed much more appropriate for our film. This was our original company logo. However, after adding it into our film, we noticed that the colour scheme of the original logo did not fit with the thriller genre. Therefore, we decided to alter it slightly.
In our thriller opening sequence we do not have any dialogue due to technical problems. Because of the technical problems we could not get the non-diegetic sound to feature in the scene were both characters were conversing. Instead we took out all non-diegetic sound and added in our music in the background.
Through out the process of filming our production and editing we experienced some challenges. A team member unfortunately left the team which meant there were more responsibilities for myself and my other team member.
