OUR FINAL OPENING SEQUENCE - Captive

Wednesday 26 January 2011

Overall Film Idea

SYNOPSIS OF FILM

The story focuses on a 16 year old schoolgirl, who appears to be innocent and composed. However, she once accidently killed someone after having an argument with them, and after realising that she enjoys murdering people, now kills anyone who annoys her. She hides her psycho killer personality under her innocent school girl appearance. The opening scene to our film is a flash-forward, and ends with the text ‘two years earlier’ on the screen at the end of the sequence. We then go back in time to when the girl first began killing, and as the film goes on she murders more and more people. The film ends when she frames another girl for the murders. She leaves free, ready for her next conquest.
                                                                                                                                             
GENRE AND THEMES

The genre of our film is chick-flick horror, which will appeal to a wide audience.
Everyone in our group enjoys chick flicks and horrors. As a genre hybrid, it is very original; however there are similar films that we can draw from.

Our film will be horror based, and will feature almost all conventions of a horror film, verging on parody to audiences familiar with the genre. However, for people who do not know much about horror films, it will seem quite gruesome. We will also include references to other films of the genre, to develop the element of parody further.

Films and characters that we can use as inspiration:

Kick-Ass (Vaughn, 2010) - Hit Girl

Heathers (Lehmann, 1988) - Female killers


Black Swan (Aronofsky, 2011) - Female (Nina) with two personalities
