General outline of production x

General outline of production

The main characters that we have come up with so far and use includes the following:

A main character will be female as they are used quite a lot in films and are seen as more of a target or more incapable to defend themselves then males are. She will be timid and nervous most of the time. This will be shown by taking high shots looking down on her making her seem small and vulnerable. Yet she thinks high off her self to begin with until the death of Ryan which she then becomes timid and scared. She doesn’t know that she had a sister as her parents died when Jodie was born and her sister was already dead. She is only 16 years old. Her name will be Jodie and the actress will be Chloe Smith who tried for the role and played the character beautifully.

The main characters alter ego who again is female however it is the typical evil character who kills through Jodie. She has never appeared before although she is really Jodie’s sister who died in a fight when she was younger in order to protect her. She now views anyone as a danger to her and will protect her by any means possible. She was 19 when she died. An example of what we mean is Niki Sanders from Heroes who has two split personalities, we are going to use the same idea to show her personality off, by using mirrors which has been in a various amount of films too. The most obvious being a film called mirrors which is a thriller/horror. However we are not sure if this will actually be the female or a type of ghost etc. This characters name will be unknown and will be played by Toni Hall as she chose to be this part.

Another main character or characters will be the female’s friends who don’t know about the split personality; even the female character doesn’t know that she has one. These will vary of female and male at the same age as the female. Some will think that she is crazy when she tells the group about what the demon is etc where as a few believe her, including a male character who later becomes involved with her romantically. This person won’t be in the opening but will be in the middle to end part of the film.

Other characters included in the film will be a male that attacks the main character. He thinks that he can have anyone that crosses his path female wise and is a player. He is a typical man who ends up dying although he isn’t at college as he is 18. A fight will occur which leaves the male character with a scratch on his cheek. They then meet in the alleyway later on and another fight occurs which leaves the male dead this will be in Reepham and we will close the alleyway off so that no one thinks that this event is actually happening. His name will be Ryan and played by David Goff as he can pull of a real life scene with Chloe that looks believable.

Yet another character will be killed by the female. She again is only 16 and has known Jodie all of her life, they are nearly always together although things become rocky as the alter ego begins to take over. This female will be her best friend and will be killed in the girl’s toilets. Her death will be unseen although the kill be will heard from a cell in the toilet. She will have ticked the main character off by talking about the fact that boys love her, as she mentions Ryan the good character will turn into her alter ego to kill her. This characters name will be Chantelle and will be played by Rachael Sarsby.

Costumes, make-up and Props

Costumes

Jodie- very high maintenance – pencil skirt, with dark top, black tights, flat shoe, handbag and with hair straightened .

Ryan-thinks he is hard and every girl wants him – Jeans, blouse, v-neck jumper, and black shoes (smart as he thinks a lot of himself).

Chantelle- like Jodie she is very high maintenance- she will have a similar outfit to Jodie as they like to look much dulled up and over the top.

Jodie’s alter ego – Jodie’s alter ego is very dark and devious she wears very dark clothes, black top, leggings and black leather boots, hair all back combed and messy.

Make-up

Jodie – to begin with Jodie’s make-up is very glamour’s and over the top, but after she has killed ryan her make-up is then very dirty and messy. When Jodie has killed Chantelle she will have blood on her hands to show the audience that she ahs killed Chantelle



Ryan- To begin with Ryan will have no make –up on but as Jodie slaps him there will be a red print, however when Jodie’s alter ego comes out she kills Ryan. There will be blood all over Ryan’s hair and all over the path way that Jodie’s alter ego has killed him.


Chantelle- At the beginning Chantelle make-up is like Jodie’s very glamour’s and over the top. But when Jodie’s alter ego comes out she ends up killing her best friend there will be blood all over the floor and over Chantelle’s head.

Jodie’s alter ego – Jodie’s alter ego will be very dark but also a little glamour’s this will make it seen less tacky and UN real. All her make-up will be black( black eye shadow ,black lipstick ect.)

Props

Here are the props used throughout the film opening –

Bottle of alcohol
Camera

I also carried this task as i wanted the charaters to show there peronalities through there outfits. There a very little props as we did not want it to look false or not convincing. For the make-up we asked a make artist and a close friend of The actress playing the later ego " Rachael sarsby". Rahcael sarsby was our make-up actest throughout the whole of production.

Script

Jodie is sitting on the grave yard bench drinking all her sorrows away and then Ryan turns up.

Jodie: - (Smiling and acting drunk) Hey there Sexy!!!!
Ryan: - Well Hello (looking really pleased and happy)

Jodie and Ryan move close together and Jodie leans up against a tree whilst Ryan is kissing her neck. She there looks very scared as she realises what is happening.

Jodie: - NO, no leave me alone (whilst pushing Ryan off her)
Ryan: - come on baby (pulling her closer)
Jodie: - No (trying to pull away)

Jodie then turns and scratches Ryan across the face

Ryan: - You Bitch (holding his face)

Jodie the runs off scared and frightened. As she is going home she decides to take the short cut through the alley way and at the other end Ryan is waiting for her.

Ryan: - No-one gets away from me that easily!!

He grabs her by the shoulder and forces her against the wall.

Jodie: - Leave me alone (screaming and frightened)

Jodie Alter ego then comes and grabs Ryan by the back of his neck and smashes his head against the metal railings. Ryan is killed!!! She then changes back into her innocent self and then realises what has happened.

Jodie: - NO NO PLEASE NO (crying hysterically)


The next day and Jodie walks in to college with her same clothes on as last night looking extremely rough. She walks directly to the toilet and her best mate Chantelle follows.

Chantelle: - Jesus you look rough (looking shocked)
Jodie: - Yeah thanks for that (still really frightened)
Chantelle: - Oh MY GOD , Jason is so sweet he took me out last night for a meal and then went back to his and let me just tell you it was the most AMAZING sex ever !!!
Jodie: - SHUT UP SHUT UP IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU ISNT IT. (Angry and scared)
Chantelle: - What the hell is wrong with you just because you can’t get no-one what happened to the boy Ryan you liked!!! (Looking annoyed)
Jodie: - I SAID SHUT UP DIDN’T I (Getting really angry)
Chantelle: - What the ……….
Jodie: - SHUT UP!!!!!

Jodie then changes into her alter ego; she grabs Chantelle by the hair and smashes her face against the mirror she has a large cut across her face. She then grabs her hair and pulls her into the toilet. There is a lot of screaming and banging in the loo. As the alter ego exits the loo you see Chantelle lying on the floor dead. It then changes back to Jodie.

Jodie: - NO NO PLEASE NO (crying hysterically) CHANTELLE PLEASE I AM SORRY PLEASED. (Crying look scared and frightened)

She gets up all worried and shaky stumbling over and looks in the mirror and then at her hands realising there is blood on it she quickly puts the tap on and tried scrubbing the blood of and then she looks in the mirror crying.

Jodie: - NO (crying) PLEASE NO WHY ME???????????

Then appears the alter ego, and just smiles back at Jodie.




This script was a task that i decided to take on , i had to write the script quite a few times to get my final result as it sounded to cheesy before. However i spoke to out actors and actressess to make sure they where willing to play the roles so last monday we done a run through with costumes and props to make sure it went smoothly.we found out that it worked extremly well and they Actors/Actresses took on the role very well. However we did have to take out a line as Tow of our main characters kept laughing when the line was said " come on baby".
