Tesco shopper, 24, forced to show ID... because she was 'too young to buy a slice of QUICHE.'

Usually the only thing you need to eat quiche is a hearty appetite but according to Tesco you should be over 21 too.

I found this article on the Daily Mail website and although i found it relatively amusing at first, i later began to realise the potential the humerus, light hearted article has to be transformed into a gripping Thriller Film.
My main idea's for this article was to change it into a Supernatural Thriller of which the lady attempting to buy the Quiche goes insane. In the Thriller, the woman will have a power which stops her from ever aging and so always remains looking in her late teens. Though, this power of youth she possesses only lasts if she makes sure to always do one thing. Eat quiche. This had never been a problem until this very minute in time, when for the first time she can see her demise. When the woman is unable to be served her quiche anywhere she begins to go insane and parts body of her slowly start to decay. She realises a alternative source needs to be found soon for her to survive. She begins to try anything that could possibly keep her alive. She doesn't care what the solution may be, at any cost she will live, even if it means killing others...

I feel that this type of plot for a Supernatural Thriller is very apt as it gives the audience everything they could ask for; suspense-- will she find a alternative to the quiche before she dies? and at whose cost will it be at? it also gives the supernatural feel and to start with a sense of escapism as it seems the woman is living the good life, being a 46 year old woman who never looks a day older than 18. I think that if this article was to be changed into a Thriller film it would engage the audience in many ways and captivate their attention to a type of Thriller that has never been done before.

'I saw my blood in the water': teenage girl's amazing escape after fighting off shark with her bodyboard
In this article i found in The Daily Mirror online, i found that this 14 year old girl Lydia Ward fought off a shark which had her in his jaws. Lydia was at the time just casually treading water when she stepped on something she realised was 'living'. If it was not for the fact she remembered about hitting sharks on the nose, she may have suffered much more injury than a puncture in her thigh.


My idea i had for changing this story into a Thriller would be to shoot a film all leading up the the events of which the girl has to fight this shark, will she survive or not? This thriller would have much anticipation throughout creating much needed suspense. This will be done by making the audience aware of the shark in the water as the girl gets ever nearing without realising what will happen, or even the fact this shark is anywhere near her. This will be an effective way to help the audience engage in the film and stay interested during the entire film, with the wondering 'when will it attack?'.
The sound that will be heard mostly in the film will just be normal sounds that are heard on full, average beaches; children playing, people talking, birds and general sounds. However when the shark is being seen by the audience the noises from the beach will dwindle to a quiter volume and a beat symbolising a heart beat will be heard.
