My Ideas for Film Outline

In my group I am going to be working with Megan, Lizzie and Christian. For our film we are going to be working on thriller. For our production company we are using the name ‘Dancing Pens.’ We came up with this idea as we have done some practise animations and this is a name we can make a short animation for quite easily and it also sounds lively and catchy.  I was thinking that we could use very dark colour pens with a dark background rather than bright colours to show that our film is not uplifting and highlights the fact that it is a thriller. After they finish dancing we could flicker them changing colour to show mystery which links into our film type, if we feel this would be the kind of film where the production company want to match their logo.

My plot for the film is about a girl being kidnapped by a man for years and years and she finally escapes. When she does escape she is receiving night mares about it and can’t seem to live with the fact of what has happened and what has been done.

It starts off with a long shot where you see the girl (played by myself) from the crack in the door of her bedroom is cause mystery feeling very vulnerable whist having a nightmare in bed. There is then a cut to a bridging shot of her running  away from something. The sequence keeps cross-cutting from the girl in bed to her running, each time it cuts the camera is being positioned nearer and nearer towards the girl so that the audience can establish where she is and can see her emotion more clearly as the camera becomes closer . The shot then changes to the girl stopping running and looking down at her hands and seeing blood, the camera could then do a slow motion/360 degree shot to show confusion that the girl is feeling. She is feeling this way as when she went to break out of the house where the man was killing her, the man was trying to hurt her and she had had enough of it and found the first thing she could and hit him with it. She was so afraid that she did not even take a minute to look down at her hands and see the blood. The scene then changes into a shot of her in a police station still looking at her hands to show a link between the two scenes. The police man is asking her questions but she is not answering. When she finally does answer, it is with bluntness and confusion. The rest of the film is about her having to live her life with what has happened to her and trying to go back to everyday life without people asking questions. The reality of her hurting and running away from a very dangerous man comes back and haunts her as she has to face her worst night mare of the man and his group trying to come back and find her and trying to hurt her. She spends the rest of her life trying to hide from him, whether she does or not we will never quite know..................
