I came up with the idea of the cyber-chat concept. I thought this was quite different to a typical thriller; action, investigation, adventure or crime etc. I got the idea from a programme I had watched just weeks before we started filming. This programme is called 'Misfits', and the bit that influenced me was when the guy (Simon) was in a dark room chatting to a girl he doesn't know. The setting around him is dark and gloomy with just the light from the computer screen on his face. It was the same for the girl he was chatting to. I liked how the camera flowed to show his face, his conversation and his hands on the keyboard, and then up again to show the girl on the other end of the conversation. I thought this was clever and made the scene run smoothly.
Here is a link to the clip (Series 1, Episode 3). The section I was influenced by is at 12min 18secs:
