Film Concept

In today's lesson, I came up with a basic concept for my trailer. I now need to write it out in more depth and adjust a few things, as well as thinking of good camera angles, etc. to use. I also need to get some feedback from a few people so I can improve on this. I will be doing this in the next lesson ro two.

Idea:

- Starts with a sad and sombre mood, leads the audience to believe she's in the hospital because she's a victim of some type of physical illness

- Shots of her walking alone, sitting at table by herself

- Motif: always carrying around the same brown, leather diary - also close ups and shots of her writing in it (taken from behind)

- The mood of the film begins to change as she starts acting suspiciously: eyeing potential weapons, etc.

- Goes to counsellor, audience is shown close ups of hospital documents to show that she's insane and is actually in a mental hospital, diary sits on desk

- Extremely quick flashbacks to show weapons, extreme close ups of her eyes, shots of her victims that she has killed, etc.

- Leaves counsellor, continues to acts suspiciously, sits down and starts writing in her diary

- Close up of the diary with the date (some time in the 1900s) saying "Today I finished my next victim. I wonder who will be next" - or something along those lines

- Changes from close up of diary to wide shot of the empty room (with just her in it), still writing in diary. Then changes to mid close up as she looks up from her diary and into the camera
