DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTERS

We discussed what our main character is going to

look like. We have decided that it is going to be a

girl, dressed in a white gown, she is going to have

extremely pale skin with a few cuts and some dirt on

her and she is going to have dark hair that is going

to be covering a lot of her face. She also has two

different coloured eyes.

OUTLINE OF THE WHOLE FILM

A girl escapes from a mental asylum. She sees a sign for priory park. She

shuts her eyes and takes a deep breath, while her eyes are shut, she has

loads of images which are going through her head, her eyes fly open, then

she starts running to priory park. She sits down and thinks that she sees

someone when really it’s a figment of her imagination.

She continues to run away from the asylum, looking for someone who

doesn’t exist. Along her journey, she starts to recover and makes friends.

As she starts to settle down and learns to control the things that are going

on in her head, she then gets found by the people looking for her, gets put

back into the asylum and goes beck to the way she used to be.

LOCATIONS

In our opening sequence, we are going to film our

main character escape from the asylum which is

going to be the back gates of Reigate college then

she will find her way priory park.

The locations we will be filming are:

The back entrance of the college

Priory park

TARGET AUDIENCE

Our target audience is going to be 15+ because if

it was made into a real film it would be a 15

certificate. and people who enjoy this genre

HOW?

Girl running = long shot, point of view shot, medium shot.

Girl sitting in field = long shot, close up.

We’re going to film the pictures by taking lots of short video clips

of people doing normal day to day things such as walking and

talking on the phone and also video lots of normal things such as

houses and cars then edit everything to give it a creepy and eerie

affect.

When she closes her eyes and starts having flash backs, we’re

going to film scary images and also edit them.
