Details

Tristys costume at the begining of the film portrays a child-like image. Her costume will be plain at first to show the lack of excitement in her life, however if the film was to be directed and created as a feature-length film, throughout the film Tristy's costume will become brighter and more mature as she is drawn closer to the group, but when the group is revealed as a criminal terror-creating gang Tristy's costume will become darker, as if in mourning. Over-all, Tristy's costume should portray her relevence in the group. For example at first she dresses plainly and anonymously as she hasn't yet met the group, but as she becomes more involved in the group her clothes become more colourful due to the 'colour' the group is bringing to her life.

Prop List

• Bottles of Beer
• Car

Note: For my chosen film sequence the props will not be sigificant to the narrative as yet since the sequence is the title sequence. Because of this I will not be using many props with the exception of mise-en-scene and costume props.

Charcters

Tristy

Age: 15

M/F: Female

Important Characteristics/info: The Protagonist. Tristy is an outcast who has never found life easy either socially or in her family life. I have used Chelsea to play Tristy because she is a normal teenager who comes from a similar background to what Tristy would have if she wasn't just a character in a film. With a relatable personality, I feel that an audience would believe that Tristy is a real character when played by Chelsea and would become more emotionally connected.
(Played by Chelsea Boyer)

Main gang members:

Mojo
Age: 19
M/F: Male
Important Characteristics/info: Antagonist. Mojo has been rejected all his life and hense then moved from America, leaving his whole life behind. He then founded the ganag in which Tristy joins later on. Mojo is a sociopath who uses his 'friends' for gain in most ways. Ross's dark features (such as his hair and eye colour) can portray a darker character, and his un-kept facial hair displays the idea that he doesn't care much about a neat appearence, just like the character Mojo.

(Played by Ross Carden)

Shann

Age: 18

M/F: Female

Important Characteristics/info: Mojo's 'hench woman'. She is madly in love with Mojo and would do anything for him in order to please him. However, although she would do anything for Mojo, she doesn't show the same sort of commitment to anyone else and she put's on a hard shell. Shann is not a person to be messed with due to her short temper and impatient nature.
(Played by Hanna Moore)         

Story type

The Story type which fits my film according to Phil Parker's The Art and Science of Screenwriting (1999) is 'The Rites of Passage'. This is when the character reconises that she has reached the next 'age' of her life and attempts to learn what she needs to know to adapt to this new age. She tries to act as if she as already aquired the necessary knowledge and fails. She then encounters a challege which requires her to reach beuond what she has already achieved. Her success reflects her maturation into the new phase of her life.

Texual Analysis 'Girl, interrupted'

 Dramatic scene from 'Girl, interrupted'

In this scene Suesanna finds Daisy's body hanging in the bathroom the morning after being invited to stay in Daisy's home for the night because Suesanna and Lisa have escaped from a female insane asilum. Daisy had recently been distcharged from the same place a few weeks before, after being 'cured'. Daisy has killed herself due to being tormented by a jealous Lisa the evening before. This scene has a realistic shock value and really grab the audience emotionally, in the same way 'This Is England' does. Throughout the film, Suesanna in an easily relatable character as her past is pretty normal for a young woman in the 60's and even now in the 21st century, so when Suesanna experiences extreme emotion, we can feel it too. So in this scene, for example, when Susanna is calling Daisy's name, the audience can feel the same anxiousness building as she searches the house, that Suesanna would be feeling at the time.
