assignment 11 draft 4 part 3

Still Living

Kaya

These people can be dreaming or having an out-of-body experience (obe). In the case of dreams, the person doesn't usually know they're walking around in the form of a ghost. With intentional obe's, the projector knows what's going on but their intentions are generally harmless.

Idea DevelopmentWe are now improving our opening sequence from our last one completely by changing our old idea to a new one. We went from thriller to drama and now we are doing a physiological thriller . It is about a girl who has schizophrenia and she was put in care as her parents died when she was two. We fully researched and revised schizophrenia so we improved our understanding and knowledge making sure we make an effective opening sequence.

How are we contributing

Sanel and Kaya are contributing by meeting up on the Holidays to fully research and carefully think about our new ideas making sure that everything make sense for our audience. Also we made sure what effects schizophrenia has on people so we could make it realistic as possible.

Idea DevelopmentSanel and Kaya

Previously our idea for our whole film was about a girl who got introduced to a drug called LSD. She got addicted to it and starts to ruin her life and blocks herself out from a social life. What went well?• Creative• Interesting• Scary

Even better if?• Less complicated• Don’t give away the ending

Previously our opening sequence was showing the girls journey to the forest while she starts to have hallucination.

What went well?• Creative idea’s of the hallucination• the audience can watch her journey to the forest

Even better if?• Change the ending as it’s too confusing

• We follow Laura walking out of her home ( on the way to the forest and cut from different shots of her journey

• Throughout the journey we see short flash backs

• We then show CCTV of her walking into the park/forest gates

• Point of view of what she can see and hear (hallucination) which cuts from real life and her point of view.

• Laura stops quickly holds her chest and falls to the ground breathing slowly

• Front her point of view we see characters dance together

Idea development

• We took out mental illness schizophrenia and just made her actually be possessed by demons who wanted to let the world know about her cult scaring the world so the demons can possess them too from watching the video.

• Doing deeper research of the reason of possession that demons can be related into the real world and why the certain people get possessed because they’re venerable.

• We also changed the location to somewhere more flexible as the room was small and we couldn’t move things around. Therefore we changed the to one of the group members basement as it is spacious and reliable.

LKaya Enigma - How did they do it?

Insidious opening sequence

Mysterious observerThey show a point of view of someone walking around the house at night with a shadowed hint on the window

Mysterious/scary reflectionThey show a refection of the female making the audience want to know who she is and why she is there at night watching over people

Credits and shotsDuring the credits they show shots of things for example the inside of the house making the audience watch more in why these are significant and the titles because they portray ghost like things making the audience want to see more about ghosts

Enigma

How are we creating enigma in our opening sequences…

• By not telling the audience why these girls are haunting this room so their audience will want to find out more

• The audience will want to watch more to see what relevance the dolls have to this closet/house and why they’re always coming back

• At the ending of the opening sequence we build a climax to a sudden shock/scare getting the audience excited to watch more

• Finally to see what happens to Laura in the closet and further of how the ghosts disturb her

Kaya L

LEnigmaKaya

How have we improved from draft 1?...

• Since draft one we have improved greatly on how we can create enigma.

• We have gone through many ideas and various genres to create a very creative and versatile mind to what excited and interests our target audince

• By creating a questionnaire for our target audience to see what they find interesting and what they don’t

• Researching type of films and themes or concept grabs the audiences attention to watch more

• Watching many different genre of films opening sequences to understand what makes enigma and realising what does not

Target AudienceAge – 15 – 17

Gender – Female and Male

Ethnicity – British

Location – United Kingdom

Interests/Hobbies – local groups, precious memories

Lifestyle – Social, attends college/school, quite open minded

Why would our target audience be interested in our idea/plot?• Its based on real life, in London, so it will be familiar with the audience• Our target audience will be interested to learn about how spirits can play with our mind

throughout the film and interested of being scared.• The film is based in modern time and youth culture, use of slang in a closed narrative so they

can connect and relate to what they see in the film and leave thinking about the consequences

Why would our target audience be interested in our film because of its form?• The use of editing in building up tension will interest the target audience, they may find

interesting when something is about to occur.

• The use of suspension type music will keep the audience at the edge of their seat imagining themselves in certain situations

your mind so hopefully it would be interest them.
