For my coursework I am working with Paige and Max. I firstly asked the group what their idea was, and they said that they wanted to show a girl that had been beaten up. So I suggested that she could be looking at herself in a mirror trying to cover up bruises. We then decided that we could then show a flash back to show how she got the bruises.
The genre that we decided is that it is going to be a thriller and is going to include the themes of prostitution and drug use, even though you don't see either actually occur on screen.
For the first scene we decided that we would have an establishing shot of a basic room with a girl sitting in front of a mirror. We would then pan round to look at her, to prevent seeing the cameras reflection in the mirror. We decided that we would have an extreme close up of her eyes, so show that she has a black eye. We did some research into how we could use make up to show the bruises via youtube.
After the extreme close up on that bruise, the camera will then track out and show a bruise on the girls shoulder. She will then cover the bruise with her rove and close her eyes.
This is where the flash back will begin. We will show the change in time by either editing it into black and white or increased brightness. The flashback will show the girl getting ready to go out, again in the same mirror as before. She will be putting on red lipstick and we will have her kiss the mirror. The camera then will cut to her leaving the room and seeing the door close. It will then cut to show a man taking her into a room. All the camera sees is the door shut and then we begin to hear the bangs and the screams for help. The next scene is the girl then re-entering her room. Here she is holding money (fake money) and will be carrying her clothes/shoes whilst wearing a coat. There will then be a shot of her going through her bag, there will be a close up of the bag, to show the contents of what is inside. This will include a rubber band, serringe, underwear, a spoon and a small plastic bag containing a powdery substance. We researched into how we could show the drug scene and based it on a scene from the film Pulp fiction, but without showing the serringe actually entering the skin.
After taking the drugs we decided the character would fall to sleep and then open her eyes back to the original time. After this happens we then show the character looking at herself then smashing the mirror that she was looking into. She goes on a mini rampage then falls to the floor. She picks up a piece of glass and looks into her reflection into it. We researched also into making fake blood, for the character to gut herself on the piece of mirror.
We decided that we would have a shot of after the girl cut herself, show her relief from the pain.
The name that we've decided for our film is
THE LADY IN RED
