- 1. KayaNarrativePOur film is closed narrative, Why? Our film is
like reading a book, it goes to a start to an end the film
doesnthave a cliff hanger, just a solid ending where the story of
Lauras life ends The film doesnt leave the audience asking
questions, it leave the audiencewith the statement that drugs will
end up killing you and you should never trythemHow has it changed
since Draft 1? In our first draft because we has a completely
different story it has changedfrom the film ending in a cliff
hanger being a open narrative, to a closednarrative sending out a
message for the end of the film because before wewanted the
audience to question what happens in the film and create theirown
ending according to what they saw.
2. Kaya NarrativePOur film is linear narrative, Why? Our film is
a story that goes from start, middle, to end to tell the story
ofLauras drug use. Although there are flashbacks, they are only
very short and not the main basisof our story START MIDDLE ENDHow
has this changed since draft 1? Although the story is different
from draft1, we have always kept a linearnarrative as we want to
make a film that tells a story from start middle to theend because
we think its more understandable and a better way of presentinga
story effectively 3. Kaya & SanelFilm TheoryQTzvetan Todorov
Narrative Film TheoristHow we will be using his theory Equlibrium
Before Laura tried the drug, she was doing well at school and had a
promising .future ahead of her and everything in her life was where
it should be Disequilibrium As soon as she was introduced to the
drug her life just went downwards at .a rhythm that just went worse
and worse, until she eventually dies. New Equilibrium There is no
new equilibrium as our film ends horrible with Laura dying in . A
bad state with no friends, or anyone to help or support her in her
time . of need 4. Kaya Film TheoryQ Vladimir Propp Film Theorist
Why we wont be using his theory The villain No-one in our film
intentionally tries to hurt or ruin anybody The dispatcher This
doesnt apply to our film at all, there is no hero to send off The
(magical) helper No-one in the film does, or even try help Laura in
her struggle The princess or prize There is no prize and its based
on real life Her father She doesnt have a father, its a broken
family The donor The film is based on real life therefore no
magical objects The hero or victim/seeker hero There is no hero
False hero There is no hero therefore no false hero 5. KayaFilm

flexible budgets They have operations in both London and Los
Angeles, so avariety of influence will be obtained Most films they
distribute were filmed in London The films they distribute are
mainly targeted at a youngaudience The central characters in the
films they distribute are young andtroubled The films they
distribute are very similar to our openingsequence which features
drugsFor these reasons we believe that Revolver Entertainment will
beable to distribute our film effectively. 8. RDistributor

Dazed and confused - 1993 During the trailer of dazed and confused
we got inspired by the bright colour and they way they faded from
bright dark blue to bright fuchsia. This inspired us to use
distorted shape in our font. This also inspired us to use bright
changing colours in our title because it almost looks like
hallucination. We also thought it would be effective to use a
bright colour then a darker one to symbolise Laura. 13. Kaya &
SanelCreditsS Devil - 2010We were inspired by the credits in Devil
because of the way the credits come on screen then fade away after.
We thought it suited our opening sequence in the sense that its
calm, just like the beginning of ours and now too attention
grabbing,so that our character is still the main focus. 14. Kaya
& Sanel Titles/Credits SWe would like to use a font that shows
the images in a distorted vision. Here are some ofour ideas of what
we would like to use in our title and credits. Delirium
FantasyDelirium FantasyShowcard Gothic Snap ICTWe liked how this
font stood out because it was boldWe really like the look of this
font because of howand the letters are quite distorted. Also
because thedistorted the letters and how it almost look likeletters
are bold the audience would focus on the titlegraffiti which would
be eye catching for our targetand its meaning.audience, however we
just feel this isnt the right fontHowever, we didnt feel it
completely fitted our filmbecause it doesnt give out any clues to
what the titleas it was probably too firm as we feel we
needrepresents.something more flexible.Delirium Fantasy Chiller
Delirium Fantasy Ravie This was our favourite design and font of
all that we looked at. We liked this font because of the way the
letters fadeWe loved the curls at the end on some of the letters
and how towards the bottom which represents our mainflexible the
letters are. They almost showing a sense of character, however, we
feel it looks too much like afantasy and looks quite confusing.
Also we think the target thiller title and we dont want to give
that kind ofaudience would be swayed to look at our film as the
font isnt sophisticated, but almost like graffiti in a subtle way.
We image on our film. decided that this would be the perfect font
for our titles and credits as it ticks all the boxes. 15. Kaya
& Sanel Titles/Credits SIDEAS FOR COLOUR OF FONTThis was an
idea of colours for our titles and We liked the confusing design on
this titlecredits because we like the bright colours because it was
confusing and we wanted ourand the way they fade from bright to
dull. audience to feel uncomfortable whenHowever, we dont think
these colours fullywatching this. However, it doesnt fit withmatch
and doesnt fit properly to what were what were doing and isnt the
correctshowing. portrayal of our film.We thought maybe we should
explore using This was our favourite of all the colours anda more
serious colour as our film has adesigns as we wanted a brighter
colour toserious message behind it. However, this isshow the
hallucinations (as our title will beto predictable for a film like
this and we shown while she is hallucinating). Also wewanted to do
something a bit different. Also believe that although this is a
serious film,it wouldnt fit in where we will be showingwe want our
target audience to be attractedthe title as its dull. to the film
which I believe the title and credit does. 16. Kaya &

& SanelMusic/Sounds TNon-Diegetic SoundsThe song played by
piano in the last songinspired us to use it for when we show
theflashbacks because we wanted the audienceto connect with Laura
and really reflect andthink in depth about why theyre being
shownand what they are to

19. Kaya & Sanel Music/SoundsTDiegetic SoundsWe wanted our
characters from Lauras hallucinationto almost mock her, so we were
inspired from dreamhouse to use laughter, in an almost creepy way
butstill happy. However we wanted to show a scary
onehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KIn3yP8c5Qtoo, so we were
inspired from the second clip
(fromhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIeMYPfnST0YouTube) to
eventually start to make the laugh sounddemented and frighten her
as she starts to changeinto a bad trip 20. Kaya & Sanel
Music/SoundsTDiegetic SoundsWe wanted the characters in the
hallucination to talk,but we didnt want them to have their normal
voices,so we were inspired by the chipmunks to make theirvoices
high pitched as we thought this would becreepy. Though, we would
increase their movementand also their speech so they would be
talking a lotfaster but still as high
pitched.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKJ7kDLd2o8 We were inspired
to use a siren sound during Lauras hallucination from hot fuzz
because, the siren was used in the film because someone was doing
something wrong, therefore, we wanted to use it in ours to show
that Laura knows what shes doing is wrong in the back of her mind

Music/SoundsTDiegetic SoundsWe were inspired by this story called
Ill follow themoon background music because it was very relaxingand
calm, which almost sounded twisted in a way. Sowe wanted to make
something very similar to be themain sound play during her
hallucination, as well assirens, childrens laughter and characters
