What if
premise: Alice was an ordinary girl during her childhood and lived a
very family orientated life. She was a
sister of three and was the middle child, often forgotten or left behind. She was always the normal one, from the
outside, but inside was a completely different story; possessed by the thought
of power a new serial killer was unveiled.
The story
synopsis: As a result of Alice’s troubled past, her coping mechanism
was an abstract way and certainly not an ideal one. The thought of control and power took over
her inhibitions and there was born the serial killer, the only time she could
feel a sense of power was stood over someone watching them take their final
breaths.
Statement
of intent: To raise awareness of neglect and noticing the signs of
inside suffering. It is a film to show
how quickly situations like this can escalate without the right without the
right kind of attention and I feel that if this storyline was portrayed in a
television drama it would show that it takes a lot longer for these emotions to
build up whereas I want to show just how quick these feelings can come.
Visual
realisation: This film will be very tense and eerie thriller, with lots
of clues dropped throughout and many false leads. This film will have a slow pace juxtaposing
many other films of this genre. Another
way this film is going to juxtapose others is because I’m going to try and make
the audience have a sense of compassion and lovingness for Alice, and make her
completely unsuspected throughout; giving it a sense of realism that it can
happen to anyone and that no-one is born evil.
Audience
appeal: Quite a lot of the target audience will be parents or if not
potential parents. They will be able to
relate to many of the situations the fact that within parenthood there are
struggles but you can’t afford to push your family away as it will only make
things worse, they will feel a sense of sympathy for Alice and her situation as
they would never want that for their own, this will then create a consciousness
within themselves and will ensure that the same situation would never occur for
them.
