This document provides character summaries for a film draft. It describes the main characters Kacey, a normal teenage girl, and Jonathan, a young man with mental health issues. Kacey will be portrayed by actress Paulina Dabrowska using everyday props like jeans, shoes, and a book. Jonathan will be portrayed by actor Dawid Merwa using props like a hospital letter and medication, though he will appear normal. Both actors are available for filming on weekends.
Location
The document discusses potential filming locations for 5 scenes of a psychological thriller movie. All 5 scenes would take place at Golders Green Park in London. Photos are included of specific areas within the park that would work well for scenes where the main characters first meet, spend time together, and where one character kidnaps the other. Safety precautions are outlined for traveling to and filming at the location, such as traveling with others, securing equipment, and bringing any necessary medications.
Shooting schedule
The shooting schedule outlines 16 scenes to be filmed over 2 days in December 2015 and April 2016 in the park. On December 31st, the first 5 scenes will cover Kacey reading in the park and interacting with Jonathan. On April 10th, the remaining 11 scenes will cover Jonathan receiving a letter from the hospital, playing with pills, becoming aggressive towards Kacey, trying to force her to come with him, kidnapping her when she runs away in shock. Paulina and Dawid are needed as actors with a tripod, camera, and occasional props like a book or pills.
Treatment
The document provides a shot-by-shot summary of a film treatment. It describes scenes where the main characters Jonathan and Kacey meet in the park and begin a relationship. However, Jonathan is later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and stops taking his medication, which causes him to become aggressive towards Kacey. Jonathan throws away his pills, then forcibly tries to make Kacey go with him and later kidnaps her, showing the negative effects of him stopping his treatment.
Shot list - final draft
The shot list documents 21 shots for a film scene taking place in a park. The shots include long shots, mid shots, and close ups of the main character holding a book and reading a letter from the hospital about a medical diagnosis while also holding and looking at prescription pill packages and tablets. The shots appear to tell a story of the character receiving news about their health in the park and reacting to medical information and prescriptions.
Storyboard final draft
Kacey and Jonathan are discussing something above their heads. The storyboard shows where each character is looking and includes a 360 degree rotation to depict the environment and situation.
Location
The document describes 6 scenes from a psychological thriller film that will take place in and around Golders Green Park in London. Scene locations include the park, a street, and a shed on Ewelina's property. Key details provided about each scene include a brief description of the plot point and whether the location is publicly accessible. Safety precautions are outlined for traveling to and filming at the locations.
Conventions
The document discusses conventions for a film trailer about a mentally ill man who kidnaps his girlfriend. It proposes using conventions such as:
1) A mentally unstable but seemingly normal main character
2) Scenes that shift between isolated and public locations, day and night lighting, and a slow and fast pace for tension
3) A trailer that introduces characters and locations and hints at the abduction, using two different types of music to represent the timeline
The document then discusses developing and challenging conventions by having the mental illness be genetic, locations that change from urban to isolated, and editing that intersperses scenes before and after the abduction. Inspiration is drawn from the film "Gone" about
Timeline
The document outlines a timeline with the following key point: it refers to a "draft 1", suggesting it is an initial version or outline of events, stages, or milestones in a project or plan. No other details are provided in the short, one sentence document.
Shot list
This document is a shot list for a draft film or video that contains 27 shots ranging from close-ups to long shots, taking place both inside and outside at locations like a park, street, and garden shed. The shots focus mainly on the park and include props like a book and other items present in shots 20, 21 and 27.
Treatment
Kacey is reading in the park when she meets a man named Jonathan. They spend time together and develop a strong relationship. However, Kacey is later kidnapped by an unknown man and imprisoned in a shed. She escapes and runs from her abductor, flashing back to happy memories with Jonathan. Kacey hides from her abductor behind a tree before being surprised by Jonathan, thinking she is finally safe. The trailer ends by zooming in on the shed, revealing the heart-shaped present Kacey had given Jonathan left behind on a shelf.
Shooting schedule
The document contains a shooting schedule for a film project taking place on December 31st, 2015 and January 3rd, 2016. It lists the scenes to be shot each day, including scenes of characters meeting in the park, kissing, escaping from an abductor, and being kidnapped and imprisoned. It specifies the actors and locations needed and equipment like cameras, tripods, and props for each scene.
Enigma codes
The document discusses using enigmas and mysteries in films to engage audiences. It provides examples from the movie "Gone Girl" where the main character is kidnapped but escapes, leaving the audience wondering who the perpetrator is and their motives. This approach inspires using a similar plot in the author's trailer where the main character is kidnapped by an unknown perpetrator to keep the audience guessing about their identity and reasons. It outlines several enigmas or mysteries that could be used, such as who kidnapped the main character, why they did it, whether she knew them, how she escaped, why she wasn't hurt, how her boyfriend found her, and why a gift from her was left at the scene.
Characters
This document provides character descriptions for a short film about a teenage girl who becomes the victim of an obsessed young man with mental health issues.
The main characters are Kacey, a normal happy teenage girl, and Jonathan, a young man portrayed as normal but who has an undiagnosed mental illness. The document describes their roles, inspirations, representative qualities, and proposed actors - Paulina Dabrowska for Kacey and Dawid Merwa for Jonathan. It also lists the proposed costumes, props, and availability for the two actors.
Costume and props
The document outlines props and costumes planning for a film shoot, including purchasing fake blood from a local party shop, using books, gifts, knives, padlocks, phones, and homemade missing person posters as props, and dressing actors in normal everyday clothing to portray teenagers and a perpetrator trying to blend in.
Character and actors planning
This document outlines the characters and actors needed for a film project. Kacey is the main character, a normal teenage girl inspired by the daughter from "Taken." Jonathan is the second main character who starts as Kacey's boyfriend but later becomes obsessed with her. Kacey's friend, a secondary character, appears only in the trailer and is inspired by a character from "Gone" but as a friend rather than sister. The document assigns actors Paulina, David, and Ewelina to play Kacey, Jonathan, and Kacey's friend respectively.
