Our film is a closed narrative that tells the complete story of Laura's life with drugs from start to finish without any cliffhangers. It sends a clear message that drug use will ultimately lead to death without leaving any unanswered questions for the audience. The narrative structure has not changed from the first draft, as it still follows Laura's story in a linear manner from start to end.

1. Kaya
Narrative P
Our film is closed narrative, Why?
• Our film is like reading a book, it goes to a start to an end – the film doesn't
have a cliff hanger, just a solid ending where the story of Laura’s life ends
• The film doesn't leave the audience asking questions, it leave the audience
with the statement that drugs will end up killing you and you should never try
them
How has it changed since Draft 1?
• In our first draft because we has a completely different story it has changed
from the film ending in a cliff hanger being a open narrative, to a closed
narrative sending out a message for the end of the film because before we
wanted the audience to question what happens in the film and create their
own ending according to what they saw.

2. Kaya
Narrative P
Our film is linear narrative, Why?
• Our film is a story that goes from start, middle, to end to tell the story of
Laura’s drug use.
• Although there are flashbacks, they are only very short and not the main basis
of our story
START MIDDLE END
How has this changed since draft 1?
• Although the story is different from draft1, we have always kept a linear
narrative as we want to make a film that tells a story from start middle to the
end because we think its more understandable and a better way of presenting
a story effectively

Film Theory Q
Tzvetan Todorov – Narrative Film Theorist
How we will be using his theory…
Equlibrium – Before Laura tried the drug, she was doing well at school and had a promising ‘
. future ahead of her and everything in her life was where it should be
Disequilibrium – As soon as she was introduced to the drug her life just went downwards at
. a rhythm that just went worse and worse, until she eventually dies.
New Equilibrium – There is no new equilibrium as our film ends horrible with Laura dying in
. A bad state with no friends, or anyone to help or support her in her time
. of need

4. Kaya
Film Theory Q
Vladimir Propp – Film Theorist
Why we wont be using his theory…
The villain – No-one in our film intentionally tries to hurt or ruin anybody
The dispatcher – This doesn't apply to our film at all, there is no hero to send off
The (magical) helper – No-one in the film does, or even try help Laura in her struggle
The princess or prize – There is no prize and its based on real life
Her father – She doesn't have a father, it’s a broken family
The donor – The film is based on real life therefore no magical objects
The hero or victim/seeker hero – There is no hero
False hero – There is no hero therefore no false hero

Film Theory Q
Claude Lévi-Strauss - Narrative Film Theorist

Titles S
Dazed and confused - 1993
During the trailer of dazed and confused we
got inspired by the bright colour and they
way they faded from bright dark blue to
bright fuchsia.
This inspired us to use distorted shape in
our font. This also inspired us to use bright
changing colours in our title because it
almost looks like hallucination. We also
thought it would be effective to use a bright
colour then a darker one to symbolise
Laura.

13. Kaya & Sanel
Credits S
Devil - 2010
We were inspired by the credits in Devil because of the way the credits come on
screen then fade away after. We thought it suited our opening sequence in the
sense that it’s calm, just like the beginning of ours and now too attention grabbing,
so that our character is still the main focus.

Music/Sounds T
Non-Diegetic Sounds
The song played by piano in the last song
inspired us to use it for when we show the
flashbacks because we wanted the audience
to connect with Laura and really reflect and
think in depth about why they’re being shown
and what they are to represent

Music/Sounds T
Diegetic Sounds
We wanted our character’s from Laura’s hallucination
to almost mock her, so we were inspired from dream
house to use laughter, in an almost creepy way but
still happy. However we wanted to show a scary one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KIn3yP8c5Q too, so we were inspired from the second clip (from
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIeMYPfnST0 YouTube) to eventually start to make the laugh sound
demented and frighten her as she starts to change
into a ‘bad trip’

20. Kaya & Sanel
Music/Sounds T
Diegetic Sounds
We wanted the characters in the hallucination to talk,
but we didn’t want them to have their normal voices,
so we were inspired by the chipmunks to make their
voices high pitched as we thought this would be
creepy. Though, we would increase their movement
and also their speech so they would be talking a lot
faster but still as high pitched.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKJ7kDLd2o8
We were inspired to use a siren sound during Laura’s
hallucination from hot fuzz because, the siren was
used in the film because someone was doing
something wrong, therefore, we wanted to use it in
ours to show that Laura knows what she's doing is
wrong in the back of her mind

Music/Sounds T
Diegetic Sounds
We were inspired by this story called ‘I’ll follow the
moon’ background music because it was very relaxing
and calm, which almost sounded twisted in a way. So
we wanted to make something very similar to be the
main sound play during her hallucination, as well as
sirens, children's laughter and characters dialogue

This sound will be the music played during Laura’s hallucination.

This would have been played through the flashbacks to intensify them
and add emotion to what is being shown
