New Story Plot

We decided to change our plot. Instead of using a male hacker, we decided to subvert the stereotype by using a female character, inspired by the hacker Lisbeth in 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. We also abandoned the idea of having an armed response team coming to get the hacker, as it seemed unrealistic. This plot is more believable, and more interesting.

It starts with a girl sitting in her room on her laptop, looks quite calm, smoking and drinking coffee. She stops, puts her coffee cup on a stack of papers, sighs and gets up to go to the toilet. The shot is of the door, and you hear the toilet flush. When she comes back in she notices her coffee cup has moved and she becomes suspicious. She’s looking around and she sees the barrel of a gun around a corner, which she grabs and comes face to face with a man in a suit. There is then a struggle to get the gun and they fight for it. Then you hear a shot whilst both characters face each other. She stares as the assassin falls to the floor, dead. The girl is shocked and then she drags his body and puts him in the bath. She is tired after dragging him, but looks relived. Then, she notices a radio crackling in his pocket. Realising people will come for her, she picks up the gun, and faces it at the closed door.
