Thriller Idea

On Wednesday we started on our story board. We kept to the idea of someone with a psychological disorder however we decided to change the whole storyline.

Storyline: A teenage girl (played by Samantha) has a mental age of her inner child and occupies herself by playing with her toys in an isolated part of the park which is extended from her childhood home. She’s fasinated, in particular, with a doll in which there is a flash back of a male harshly snatching the doll away from her and destroying it. A passer by witnesses the girl playing but the doll in which is visible to the girl, is not with him/her. It should be then acknowledged that this doll does not really exist.

The girl picks up a knife from the cutlery set surrrounding her tea party, instead of a lipstick (which was was applying to herself earlier), and runs it across her lips clumsily. Blood is smeared across her face but the girl doesn’t seem to feel any pain. She then wavers the knife at something across from her. The camera gets a shot of a dead person sat up agaisnt a tree amongst other stuffed toys and is hunched over them like a doll. It should be establised that the girl is trying to get a real life version of her doll that was taken away from her but doesn’t understand that the person is dead.

The girls make-up on one side of her face will be doll like (with rosey cheeks and long eye lashes) and the other will be like a broken doll (with stitches). This represents her doll before and after it was taken from her. We will show one side of the face at a time, starting with the happy side. The dead person will also be given doll like features but clumsily.

We will use long shots when showing the isolation of the girl playing on her own and talking to her hand. Some P.O.V shots when the girl is looking at her doll. Close ups will be really good when we show her face because of the make-up! When showing the dead person I think a low angle would work well because the person is hunched over it will get a good shot of the face.

We will use music like bells and lullabye sounds to create a childish feel. It also can be very creepy. It will be good if we can make it go really weird leading up to the face of the dead person and it shows what sounds are going on in her head

we're still in the process of thinking of a title for the thriller.
