Final idea:
Title: bipolar relapse
narrative structure: a woman who is tormented by her past and considered as a threat to the society so therefore she is locked up in a mental hospital where is never visited and neither treated as her state remains obscure. she is kneeled down with her head down and her hair covering her appearance, she starts to see flashbacks of how it all started, the first flashback she sees is of the man who forced her to do what she did not want while crying and begging him to stop but was repeatedly told "its like nothing ever happened", she is then shown in her sell all alone crying with hatred for who she has become. she then sees the second flashback of her boyfriend who was repeatedly stabbed by her for saying one simple sentence,"its like nothing ever happened".the next day,a male nurse informed the doctor of her state how she seems to be normal but hasn't said a word to anyone and was only heard her talking to herself, the doctor did not know how to help or treat her due to the insufficient information he had about her so he orders that she's observed and never approached alone. a few days passed by, when a male nurse entered her room to give her meal while she was seating down on her bed. the male nurse approached her and placed the tray with food on her laps and tried to feed her as she hasn't eaten any food given to her previous, she acts collaborative in till she raised her hand to hold the fork but then drops the tray of food, she starts to panic and her hand shaking but reassured by the male nurse that everything was aright and "its like nothing ever happened".

Mise En Scene:
I would use low key lighting to create a dark mood as the camera moves into the female victim from an extreme long shot to a close up
My setting would be in a mental hospital and a room painted all white
the main character who has a mixed role would be dressed in a white rob which shows her innocence,but would have black stains, her hair would be messy and clothes ripped showing that she's been through a lot and and the dark stains which represents dark side of her which by the memories of her past.
conclusion:
I want the audience to question themselves on who the character may be, what are her intention and why is she in that place. I also want the audience to feel sympathetic toward her for what she's been through but also scare and frightened of her actions and not knowing her identity and seeing her appearance.
Not a bad start and can easily build on this to improve.
ReplyDeleteCan you say why those film influences are there - what will you take from each one?
Also need more in your conclusion:
- Why is this opening conventional to a thriller?
- What themes does your thriller present?
- What response will you get from your audience?
