PLANNING

Storyline/ outline of film:
For my storyline within my film product I want it to be a combination of a teen and psychological horror. The way in which I am adapting the teenage sub genre is the choice of characters, their costumes, props and the narrative. The way in which I am adopting the psychological element is within the narrative camera work and editing.
The product will start with a split screen with the two main characters; they will both be doing separate actions. For example the girl will be representing innocence such as reading a book; the male will be representing evil and threatening and will show this by smoking a cigarette. This shot will be a mid shot. This will then switch to a shot of the male doing different tasks, such as putting on different clothing, reading magazine, watching a film, writing, drawing the girl, looking at the camera with pictures of the girl. This section will be speeded up, so it gives the effect that this particular male character is crazy. The different types of shots within this section will be long shot, mid shot, close up, over the shoulder shot, mid shot. I will then have a Establishing shot to show the section that the girl is waiting at the train station for another friend; this will show her pacing up and down, this shot will be an tracking and mid shot and also looking at a watch will be an close up. This will then cut to a split screen with the two characters both putting on the same lipstick in the mirror. This particular shot is a mid shot. This will then just stay with the male character, you will then see pictures of the girl all over his wall; this shot is a close up and mid shot. This is when you discover that he has been watching her. He has a monologue of where he is planning his attack upon her and declaring his love, this shot is a mid shot. It will then lead onto a split screen of both of the characters walking down the train station steps this will show the fact that he is watching her, this is also a mid shot.
