Which Idea has taken Forward and Why?Anna’s Idea

Anorexia • Girl walking to college with her friends -

they want to get food she says she is not hungry.

• She gets home and goes to the kitchen straight away

• She goes after to the bath room and pushes her two fingers down her throat making her self feel sick

• Goes to her room looks at magazines (models, skinny) looks at her self in the mirror

• Goes to bath room opens water tap in to bath tap takes her clothes off and enters .

Part B

How are we going to change or develop it from initial

state ?Idea of anorexiaIt is a good idea and we found a girl who has a anorexia but she didn't’t want to expose her body as we have shot in front of the mirror which involves nudity.

So we kept the same idea, but changed it into BULIMIA.As we have friends that are skinny and accepted the idea of acting like they have bulimia in our opening sequence.

Anorexia Bulimia

Part B

Anna Azevedo

Why chosen this Genre?

• We choose this genre because it involves settings or life situations that portray realistic characters with lots of emotions which we can relate to it or attempt to understand...

• and having the theme bulimia we can portray lots of emotions as it is a real life issue.

• To make more exciting and bring out the audience emotions we decided to add thriller to get them more involved and as thriller leaves that mysterious moments it will be easier to create enigma on our opening sequence.

Part C

Information of Genre

"woman's film"

Melodramas are a subgenres of drama films, characterized by a plot to appeal

the emotions from the film to the audience, viewer.

Addiction Drama

I think the subgenre could be addiction drama because the girl is addicted of not eating and always forcing herself to

vomit.
