In today's lesson we looked into developing the basic narrative of various thrillers by adding elements such as modern technology. For example, we took the basic plot of Taken, however replacing the main character's daughter with his Facebook account. Instead of going to Paris and shooting the bad guys, he could be an expert hacker who travels to the darker places of the web and listening to the private conversations and hacking into the various cyber criminals who have interacted with his account, uncovering a large conspiracy. Whilst a little extreme, there is potential for this idea to be refined into a more believable narrative.
A similar narrative combines more traditional thriller elements, a hacker discovers a plot to assassinate a powerful figure and attempt to stop it.
