The Narrative Structure of my chosen idea;












As in most thriller films, my plot revolves around the single protagonist Emma and her own personal battle she has to fight on her own. The battle is a psychological one against Jane, a seemingly unbeatable opponent who plays with Emma's thoughts and mind. Also, Emma has a 'back-story' which is revealed in parts throughout the text to deepen the psychological aspect of the story and the reader shall be able to understand Emma more specifically and see how her previous experiences have shaped her perceptions on life. The solution of the problem never becomes fully clear, as we have a cliff-hanger ending in that we never discover if Emma is ever truly rid of Jane.
To also fit in with the thriller genre, I want this text to be a first person narrative. Therefore, the audience can develop a relationship with Emma and fully understand the workings of her mind. I could achieve this with using voice-overs, like in 'Fight Club' so the audience are always aware of the protagonists thoughts, feelings and perspective on the situation she faces.
