CONCEPTS & FINAL TREATMENT

FILM TITLE

We have decided on the film title Paranoia. The reason for this is because the idea of the film would be easy to construct and it would be easier to film the scenes for our trailer.

FILM TAGLINE

The tagline for our chosen film is Revenge is sadistic pleasure. We chose this because Emile is sadistic and she feels like she owes it to her friends to seek revenge on those that she is convinced killed them.

SYNOPSIS

The main storyline for our film is:

There are three teenage girls called Emile, Sophie and Emma and they struggle to fit in at school, they get bullied and dismissed because of the fact they are different. The girls are Goths and they have an obsession for gore, death and torture. One day two of the girls mysteriously go missing and are later found dead. Emile is convinced that her friends were bullied to the point of death and she is motivated to get her revenge.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The target audience for our film are 15+ this is because we think that they can relate to the characters in our trailer because they are teenagers themselves.

SUB-GENRE

The sub-genre of our film is a slasher. We chose slasher because we thought it would be easier to put the scenes together for our trailer and film them also.

PRODUCTION TEAM LOGO

Our production logo is called Spooky Studios.

We decided that we wanted blood dripping from the logo and when it shows it would come up as ‘Spooky’ sliding in and ‘Studios’ comes in really quickly underneath ‘Spooky’. We wanted to have a knife cutting sound to show the audience that the film they are watching is a slasher film.

TODOROV THEORY

Tordoruvs narrative theory states that most story or plots lines follow the same pattern or path. There are 5 steps to this pattern:

Equilibrium – the first part will display a happy start where the majority of the characters are content and everything is as it should be.

Disruption – the second part of the story, this will include a problem or something will disrupt the happiness.

Realization – this part of the plot is when everyone realises the problem and it’s chaos.

Restored order – this part of the plot is when they try to repair the damage that has been made.

Equilibrium again – this the final part of the plot where the problem is solved normally resume everyone is free.
