Individual Film Planning- 2 Minutes.

Planning (2 minutes film)

This i did individually before we got together as a group with our ideas.

Genre: Horror.

Main character: Jennifer. (16 years old)

This is a slightly different version to the main plan.

Jennifer, as a child bullied for having an imaginary friend. Lost her imaginary friend at the age of 12…Still teased in high school and leaves school due to depression, becomes paranoid and develops psychosis. Jennifer hears voices throughout the day and sees things that aren’t there, but she doesn’t actually know that she has psychosis.

• ·      Jennifer wakes up in the morning and does her daily routine; camera shots show her washing her face and looking up into the bathroom mirror looking exhausted, during all thi
  
  s play a song that’s really girly. As Jennifer is getting changed the camera stops showing Jennifer and shows her pin board with photos of her smiling and with her arm around nothing, meaning her imaginary friend. Sounds like really positive movie with the song that is being played.
• ·      She goes downstairs to get breakfast and the music slowly gets quitter and quieter until it stops and the television sounds are the only ones, Her mother is making breakfast and Jennifer sits at the kitchen table and starts texting her friend, camera shows the messages close and reveals them talking about their teacher in English and how they have a crush on him.
• ·      Jennifer puts her phone on the table and as her mother puts her breakfast on the table the sound turns into high pitched ringing as Jennifer stares at the food and her face is emotionless, she looks up at her mum through the kitchen mirror and it shows her mum with a kitchen knife high up in the air looking like she was going to stab Jennifer. Jennifer turns her head quick and her mother is facing Jennifer smiling asking “What’s wrong?”
• ·      Jennifer stands up quick, grabs her coat and bag, puts her boots on and leaves the house quickly and slams the door. She puts her earphones in as she walks away franticly, leaving her mother shocked. However her mother knows about Jennifer’s paranoia and understands that she put too much food on the plate.
• ·       Jennifer walks to the end of her street and begins walking on a pathway with a tunnel of trees, extreme long shot.
• ·       As Jennifer is walking away she calls her friend as she realizes they have the day off. The pair begins talking about typical teenage girl topics. Jennifer agrees to go to her best friends house but as she decides to take a short cut through the woods in order to get there.
• ·       As she is talking to her friend, her phone cuts off as the battery dies. Her paranoia kicks in and she begins to think that somebody is following her. The trees in the woods almost create a tunnel, the trees are almost clear as most of the leaves are on the floor, a very autumnal scene.
• ·       Wild animals such as rabbits and squirrels cause bushes to move and twigs snap. Making Jennifer panic.
• ·       Her friend knows about Jennifer’s paranoia therefore begins walking towards the path that Jennifer is on.
• ·       Jennifer is looking around frantically searching for something that isn’t actually there. Through the trees she sees a dark figure, which is the imaginary friend that she once had as a child.
• ·       When she looks through the trees the dark figure appears next to trees and peers out of pushes.
• ·       The dark figure has a long black coat with black boots and a very pale face, however you cannot see the imaginary persons face very clearly, making it very mysterious.
• ·       During all this is original but creepy music playing.
