My film is going to start off with my
production name and logo, and then it’s going to a shot of the female character
sitting on the bed, then it fades to black, whilst the name of the film comes
up (Silent Cry).
The voiceover comes in immediately and it plays the scenes in
the film are corresponding with what’s going on.
She will explain how she is an orphan with no one to turn to for
help. She lives with her boyfriend of two years. When she met him he promised
to change her life, he promised he will make her happy and she will never want
for anything, being naive and young she fell for him and soon after they
started living together. They were happy together, she cooked and cleaned for
him, he bought whatever she wanted and more. They were happy and she thought it
would stay like that forever until everything took a turn for the worse. He
starts by telling her not to go out and when she did she had to be home at a
certain time, she stopped college because she felt she had everything, with
that action she has no qualification to get herself a job or support herself
financially, so she relies on him and with her gullible and naive thinking, she
feels he wants the best for her so she complies with all he says and all he
asks her to do.
As the months went on, things started to get heated between
them. Their relationship wasn't like it used to be, he would shout at
her suddenly for no exact reason or push her out of the way if he feels
she isn't doing what she’s doing right, this went on for a couple
more weeks until one day he came back home from Uni and meet her asleep on the
sofa in the living room, he get angry and slaps her awake, this is where her
abuse began. He would come home every day and find a reason to hit her or shout
at her. This went on for months and months, she didn't know what to do, she had
no friends to turn to or family to live with, she would cry herself to sleep
silently most night; (this is where i
got the idea to name my film ‘Silent Cry’), she felt trapped and enslaved.
She wanted to leave but she had nowhere to go.
As time and the abuse went on she decided that she needed to
leave the abuse, the violence, her unhappy state was taking over her life,
she was living in fear and she didn't want that for herself anymore. She knew
she had to stand up to him or leave when he was out, she took the easy option and
decided to leave when he left for uni one morning. She packed all her
necessities and hid it under the bed, when he left that morning she waited
about an hour before she decided it was time. She left without looking back at
the house she just kept going and going.
As the film comes to an end there is a shot of help lines and
emergency contact numbers for those who suffer or know anyone in a violent
relationship.
Camera
Shots
· I will use a Wide shot at the beginning of the movie
to show the
girl’s bedroom and everything around her. And also to show the thinking
position she’s sitting in.
· I will zoom in on my main
character’s face most of the time; this is to show her facial expressions.
· I will use mostly establishing shots when the scenes
the girl is remembering is showing, this is to show the environment they are
in.
Editing:
·
I will be using the ‘Dip to Black’ effect to move from one scene
to the other.
·
I will also be using a ‘Cross-Dissolve’ effect, whilst the male
character is hitting the female character with his belt.
·
Over the shoulder shot will be used whilst he female character
is checking her bruises in the mirror.
Setting
· The film is going to be set in One house, both
character’s house, their bedroom, the sitting room and their kitchen
Costumes:
· The costumes both characters will be wearing will be
very contemporary.
·
For
the male character he’s going to be wearing the normal jeans and tracksuit,
hoddie, with timberlands.
·
For
the female character she’s going to be wearing jeans, normal tops with
flip-flops this is because she’s in the house most of the time she feels she
doesn’t need to dress fancy.
