4. ‘What If’ Premise
• What if you got in with the wrong crowd, say a
bunch of adolescent criminals? What would you
do to get out? How far would you go? What if that
plan went wrong?
5. Story Synopsis
• Consequences of the inciting incident is that her
fellow gang members are looking for her.
• With an absence of familial nurture, teenagers take
the form of dominant figures and model
themselves on their own behaviour.
• Structure:
-Beginning is the girl committing her murder and
trying to hide the evidence, and poses as her being
missing
-Middle is the girl starts deteriorating and the ring
leader in pursuit of X as they start to suspect her
-End is the ring leader kills themselves, and the girl
never admits the murder and carries on her life.
6. Statement of Intent
• Controlling theme is revenge, and deterioration.
• We want to show this story to show that bad
decisions does not portray who you are. We also
want to show this to show how it’s difficult for
teenagers to keep up appearances and conform to
the self fulfilling prophecy.
• We feel it’s the right time to show this film as in term
of the zeitgeist we want to recreate how teenagers
are exposed to violence and in extreme cases what
this could lead to. Also we felt it was the right time as
there are growing number of single parent
households in the UK, showing how the absence of
parental love or stability can have a significant impact
on a child’s development.
• It’d be short series, and as a film we feel it would grab
the attention of teenagers more, as it can be
considered to more accessible.
7. Visual Realisation
• The pace of the film is fast paced and unstable
until she starts deteriorating. The pace then
becomes inconsistent and comfortable to
represent her change.
• We want to use quiet a dark colour pallet when
she’s on her own, but while in school the colours
are bright to show the two juxtaposing sides of
her.
• We have taken inspiration from films such as
Reservoir Dogs, Heathers and Goodfellas.
