- Consider using an unreliable narrator so the audience questions what is real vs. hallucination.
- Add layers of meaning so the sequence can be interpreted in multiple ways and re-watched to find new details.
Overall it seems you're on the right track to craft an intriguing opening that leaves the audience wanting more answers and context. Keep refining to

- Employ an unreliable narrator through hallucinations

- Jung described two main personality attitudes of introversion and extraversion and four main psychological functions - thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuition.
- Different combinations of attitudes and functions produce distinct personality types, such as introverted-

Here are a few key points about lost souls:
- They are spirits who are confused and disoriented after death, not realizing they have passed on.
- They often remain attached to the place they died or where their earthly life was centered.
- Lost souls may wander aimlessly, not understanding their non-physical state.
- With guidance, lost souls can eventually accept their death and transition to the afterlife. But some remain lost for long periods.
- Their confusion and fear of the unknown keeps them earthbound rather than moving on to whatever comes next spiritually.
- Seeing or sensing lost souls is said to give one an unsettled, melancholy feeling as they seek purpose or direction.
Based on the BBFC guidelines, our film would likely receive a 15 rating due to its depiction of supernatural horror elements including ghosts that may disturb younger viewers under 15 years old. A 15 rating indicates the film is not suitable for those under 15 and allows an older teenage audience.

Our backs are like superheroes, holding us up and helping us move around. But sometimes, even superheroes can get hurt. That’s where slip discs come in.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Research on the drug LSD G
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide
What is it?
Invented by Albert Hoffman, LSD, is a powerful hallucinogenic drug, which makes
the user see distorted views of objects, reality and hearing things that aren’t
there. This is known as a ‘trip’ and once you start using it, it’s hard to stop.
Users of LSD may experience some bodily effects, such as:
• Increased blood pressure and heart rate
• Dizziness
• Loss of appetite
• Dry mouth
• Sweating
• Nausea
• Numbness
• Tremors

Research on the drug LSD G
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide
LSD users when taking the drug can feel pleasant and relaxed, but that’s only when they are
in a good place and were happy before using it, called a ‘good trip’ however, if you are in a
bad mood, upset, in a place of discomfort, or with people you are uncomfortable with
seeing frightening and confusing things making you feel worse. This is called a ‘bad trip’.
The effects!
• Speeding up or slowing down time and movement
• Distorted sound, colour and objects
• Seeing and hearing things that aren't there
• Heightening your mood
• Making you feel worse
• Anxiety attacks
The risks!
• A bad trip can seriously terrify you
• Flashbacks – re-lived after the original experience (within weeks of taking the drug or
even years!)
• Long term damage to the body
• Heart failure

hallucinate and how the body controls it.

can become very high as it is absorbed
through the skin
What LSD can
look like
It can be a liquid (when
the crystal is dissolved
in water), however it is
It can be on blotter paper. When not strong

How we will show the effects of LSD in our opening sequence:
• Laura will be very pale to show she's unhealthy and sweaty
• She will have flash backs
• The flash backs will be in slow motion
• Laura will hallucinate colours, sounds and images
• Her hallucination will be in fast motion
• She will have heart failure
• She will be in pain and feeling really depraved
• Have confusing signs everywhere around where she's walking

Idea Development H
Previously our idea for our whole film was a woman who was possessed was taking hostage
innocent victims and exorcising them for her cult.
What Went Well?
• Creative
• Interesting
• Scary
Even Better If?
• Less complicated
• Chose to focus on either hostage or possession – not both
• Too fully understand and research possession
Previously our opening sequence was showing a tape filmed by the possessed woman on
the news talking about her cult and exorcising a victim she has held hostage.
What Went Well?
• Good idea
• Creative layout
Even Better If?
• Change the news idea
• Change location to somewhere more flexible
8. Kaya & Sanel
Idea Development H
We are improving our opening sequence from our last one completely changing our idea to a
new one. We changed our genre to drama which is based on drugs, quite a realistic things to
certain teenagers. We fully researched and revised drugs so we improve our understanding
and knowledge making sure we make an effective opening sequence and therefore to…
• Relate to our audience so they can see our opening sequence as real life
• Show an educational message of how drugs are bad for you
• Making it more interesting for our target audience to what they prefer
• Make it less complicated but still as captivating
• More understandable, as our target audience are young teenagers/adults
How are we contributing?
Kaya and Sanel are contributing by meeting up on the Holidays to fully research
and carefully think thought out new idea making sure everything links and can
educate our target audience. We explored different effects of LSD in depth to
make it as realistic as possible to relate to real peoples lives

Whole Film H
(Laura’s life from the beginning)
• Her friends introduce her to the drugs, she likes it and carries on
taking it
• Laura takes it daily gets addicted, party’s, stops going school –
messes her life up
• She steals, does prostitution to try and get money for LSD
• Her and her friends get into a big fright over money for the drug
and she becomes lonely and depressed
• She keeps self harming, taking he drug and ends up getting so
intoxicated she doesn't know what she's doing and just goes to the
forest while hallucinating
• He has heart failure and dies alone
10. Kaya & Sanel
Opening Sequence H
• We follow Laura walking out of her home (on the way to the forest)
and cut from different shots of her journey
• Throughout the journey we see short flash backs
• We then show CCTV of her walking into the park/forest gates
• Point of view of what she can see and hear (hallucinating) which
cuts from real life and her point of view
• Laura stops quickly holds her chest and falls to the ground
breathing slowly
• Front her point of view we see characters dance together
11. Kaya & Sanel
Idea Development H
How the idea was improved from Draft 1 to
Draft 2
• We took out mental illness schizophrenia being the reason she thought she was
possessed, and changed the woman to actually being possessed by demons who
wanted to let the world know about her cult scaring the world so the demons can
possess them too from watching the video
• Doing deeper research of the reasons of possession being that demons can be released
into the real world and why the certain people get possessed because they’re
venerable.
• We also changed the location to somewhere more flexible as the other one location,
we wouldn’t have been able to move things around, the light thing was poor and the
room was too small. Therefore changing to one of our group members basement as it
is spacious and reliable.

Enigma – How did they do it? L
‘Stand by me’ - 1986 Opening Sequence
Focus on newspaper article about death
The audience will want to know why this has
been pointed out and why he is looking at this
particular article for so long.
Focus on two boys on bike, then
starts to reminisce
We see the man focus on these two
boys on the bike then start to think
which makes the audience wonder
what connection he has with them He starts telling his story which connects to the what
the newspaper article and boys on the bikes
Lastly his voice over starts talking about his life as a
young boy and seeing a dead human, which shows the
audience it connects to the article and the two boys
on the bike. This make the audience want to watch
more and find out what happened when he saw the
body and the connection to what he’s thinking about
24. Kaya & Sanel
Enigma - How did they do it? L
‘Bend it like Beckham’ - 2002 Opening Sequence
Woman play for Man Utd
The audience will get sucked
into the game they played in the
beginning of the opening
sequence and then when they
see the girl playing with them
they wonder why she's playing
Mum disapproves of her playing for Man Utd and watch more.
The audience will wonder why she's
such a good football player, but then
when you see her mum shouting and
saying ‘she needs to go back home’
the audience will realise it’s a day
dream and see that there is conflict in
her family about her dream
Shows contrast with her fantasy and real life
The audience realise she doesn't follow the
conventions of a Indian girl and want to watch
more about the differences of what her mother
wants and what she wants.
25. Kaya & Sanel
Enigma L
How are we creating enigma in our opening sequence?
• By not letting the audience know why she is walking to the forest as she falls to the
ground hopelessly without letting the audience know what she wanted to do there in
the first place and further what she would have seen in her hallucinations.
• By showing her dramatically fall to the group as a climax to the end of the opening
sequence without giving away why, what it was and if she was okay afterwards.
• The audience will want to know why she is this way, how she’s tired, dirty, bloody and
what happened wrong in her life which the flashbacks will give short clues of this.
• Showing just seconds of the flashbacks they will want to see more of what she did and
why she did them and its done in slow motion which is a side effect of LSD so the
audience can know she on drugs doing these things (in the flashbacks) which because
of the hallucinations in the opening sequence will want to see more of it in her other
‘trips’.
26. Kaya & Sanel
Enigma L
How we have improved from draft 1?
• We draw the audience into our opening sequence more this time so the
audience can feel sorry for this venerable character rather than just being
told a story
• Rather than just showing someone kidnapped like in draft one, we showed
the girls journey drawing the audiences attention in slowly building tension
• In draft 1 there was no climax, the opening sequence was just basically
informing and telling a story however now, we build up tension up to a climax
creating enigma and dropping making the audience feel uncomfortable and
wanting to watch more
