This is just before she comes into the house at this point she is really disorientated and goes to look behind her as if she thinks someone is there but infact its his schizophenia.

Shots
This will be a shot from behind the girl walking up to the house we will then start the noises which will represent her head going and her schizophenia coming through and talking over. The noises will only be very slight so not much talking as we dont want much dialogue.
Shots
This location is outside the front of Emmas house. This is going to be our first shot where the girl is walking upi to the house and first starts to feel her head going.
Costume Picture
This is the kind of costume we have been thinking about for the character of the imagenry friend. By using this sort of scary and ragged costume it allows the audience to feel the atmosphere we want to create. For example if we dresswed the imagenery freind in normal clothes. There would be nothing to create suspition. Also it would not match our theme of scary horror. Doing this it takes a normal everyday life disorder into alot more scary situation. If the imagereny friend wears this it singles here out from everyone else as this is not a normal way of dressing.

1. The action: identify the event your idea is based around; what actually happens (discovery of a body, an illicit meeting, a witness seeing a crime being committed, a criminal act taking place, a telephone call, a chase, a short journey etc)?
The girl has got schizophrenia and she has to control it by pills, which she goes to get but sees she has none left so this then means that she then can not control her imagenery friend, her imagenery friend then controls her and tells her to do these bad things . She then has a flash back of her holding a knife. This then links to the end scene of her holding the knife whilst looking at her mum. This indicates that she is going to kill her mother.
2. The theme(s): what should it make the audience think about or feel, what ‘issues’ will it raise (revenge, sexuality, voyeurism, stalking, obsession, greed etc)?
We want to make the audience feel on egde and want to keep watching the film. It may raise the issue of corcern for her mental disoder and if it is making her capable of killing her mum, what else she might be capable.
3. The narrative: how is it structured - classic narrative pattern or break with convention, real time or different time zones, flashbacks/forwards, dreams etc. Will there be dialogue? What about diegetic/ non-diegetic sound?
Ours is a classic pattern with a break of convention, we have used a flash back. We are also using non diagetic sound. There will only be abit of dialogue.
4. The character(s): who are they, identify their roles, what are their characteristics, including gender, appearance etc?
Susie: Hatty
She has schizophenia she will quite normal. She will then end looking stressed
Imagenery friend: She will be suspious and will look really scary

1. Is it practical?
I think ours will be easy to for us to film as we have the location in lutterworth so not far to travel. Also the actors are close friends and live near by. The only thing that might hold us back slightly is that we want ours to be in the night so any practical work that we might be set in a lesson we might be stuck with nothing to do. This means we would be wasting time. This also means that we would have to do it in our own time and take a camera out for a night.
2. Is it an idea that works to the strengths of the group?
I think we all add something to the group as emma is very artistic and has been able to show our idea down on paper. I think this is really important as you find when it comes to a practical idea its very hard to explain and to have someone in your group who can do this i think its a really advantage. I think rob is a motivator of the group especially when it came to the ideas. He had alot of ideas. Some that went on to a completely differernt genre this is good as it gave us range. Then my role came in when we had a lot of ideas i would simplify them down and see the bigger picture of whether we will be able to do certain camera shots, whether they will look tacky or not. Or even if it was possible at all as we dont have any money budget, so we were unable to do anything with big specail effects.
3. Will it show off the skills you have learnt so far on the course?
Yes we are including match on action, over the shouldre 180 degree rule and a range of different and imaginative shots.
4. Is it something you can reasonably shoot and edit in the time available?
Yes as our location is in lutterworth and so are our actors. We also have a Macs at school that are available in our lessons.
5. Can you get access/ permission to shoot in the chosen location at the chosen times?
Yes as it is emmas house we will be able to do it at any time.
6. Can you organise lighting to use in that location?
This shouldnt be to much of a problem as we are filming alot in emmas kitchen and there is alot of small lights scattereed around the room. This should there for allow us to create a dull effect to fit in well for the theme of the opening. If this does not work we will be able to use colour contrasts and colour effects to help create the atmorsphere.
7. Have you included dialogue? If so, will it work to shoot conversation in that location?
We decided to use only one bit of dialogue in ours, this is from the mother and she says "Darling whats wrong". Our reasons for doing this is because we wanted to sustain a constant atmosphere and tension throughtout the whole opening this allowed an element of secrecy in the opening. Which keeps the audience engaged.
8. Do you have guaranteed high quality reliable actors to play the characters?
I would say that they are quite reliable as they are both drama students and live near by they are also close friends so they are more likely to be commited.
