friend in kitchen scene - idea

me (shaq) and tiffany had to discuss how to open up the sequence, we believe that the kidnapping will be dramatic enough to catch the attention and interest of the audience as to why it happened. however we think adding a character to the start of the film that is either a friend or family member of the victim will allow us to add emotion to the sequence and highlight the effect the insident has had. this will cause the viewer to feel sympathetic and provoking emnotion is a key way to grab and retain the audiences interest
