Film Idea
Age Rating
We have chosen a certified rating of 15 because it is going to have elements of murder, and gory scenes of blood. Also as it is a horror genre it will have scenes
Genre
The genre will still be a mix of psycho and horror as we feel it is a very appealing genre and will be very popular.
Narrative Storyline
We are going to do a non-linear narrative illustrating the girls life in a flashback format before the murder scene occurred. This adds more suspense and allows all the audiences narrative enigma from the opening sequence to be answered. Similarly, it will also add a more interesting aspect as it is an unusual affect used for the duration of the film and i think if this was a real film it would be successful. Secondly, the storyline we have chosen therefore challenges Todorov's narrative theory because we do not start with the equilibrium, we chose to start with the distraction in the opening sequence and then the film will be a flashback starting with the equilibrium then and explaining all the narrative enigma. We decided to do this as it compliments with the characters psychotic mind as the film seems to be disorientated and in the wrong order.
Characters
Ophelia- Is the main character who is also the protagonist of the film. The film shows her life before the murder scene.
School friends ensemble- Friends of aphelia's as we see them together in a school environment and at sleepovers to show her normality before this incident. Ophelia will have 2 best friends which will be vital in the change in her personality and they are there to talk and discuss with Ophelia why she has changed. An idea could also be the friends eventually ditch her and she becomes worse and worse.
Coral (Ophelia's best friend)- this is the person that Ophelia kills and throughout the film we receive clues due to why. Firstly, as she is turning psychotic she begins to become jealous of Coral's looks and her popularity. therefore, Ophelia feels she is losing her best friend as she is fading away to her other close friends. Another reason Coral is leaving Ophelia is because she is too dependent and engrossed into her boyfriend therefore leaving Coral out anyway.
Family ensemble- I feel that the family are also background characters as this film is just going to focus on Ophelia's journey. So, i feel that the family are only going to be preset in our film and we will probably not see them throughout the film.
Teachers- Ophelia's teachers in school may be a key part in the film as they can assess her progress from a normal everyday teenager to a psychotic and twisted character. This could be shown in clips of a parents evening where they create enigma answers to how she evolved into this type of character that was shown in the opening sequence. There will be a few main teachers which will be more present in the film.
Ophelia's boyfriend (Flynn)- Her boyfriends
personality would be very caring and sensitive and by the end of the film the only person who is there for her is him.
Location/Setting
Most of the film is going to be situated within the school environment as well as friends and Flynn's house. Ophelia's house is also shown in the opening sequence and the exterior is included in the film. Lastly, the alleyway is obviously a key part to the film as this is the murder scene.
