A summary of our groups film idea;

An abused teen one day decides they cannot take it anymore and locks themself away in a wardrobe. The abusive parent attempts to get them out by shaking/banging on the wardrobe but to no avail. The teen then eventually falls asleep- Waking up in a new world the character begins to explore, and eventually meets a character named the 'Hung helper', hanging from a tree in the area. The two have a short conversation and the teen realises that they may not necessarily be in the normal world anymore. The helper dissapears suddenly and the teenager is faced with their worst nightmare; This new worlds equivalent of the teens parent. A short conversation is held and the teen manages to escape this threat.
As the tenager explores further still, they hear things, which would later be revealed as flashes of reality, but the character does not yet realise this. Eventually the character would meet others on their exploration. These characters would either help the teen to escape or defeat their nightmare. The nightmare villain/parent kills off the teens accomplices throughout the exploration. Whilst still exploring the character is grabbed by a moving tree, which is a trap set by the nightmare character. Giving the film a grittier feeling, the character is then killed in the fantasy world, and consequently dies in the real world, which is revealed when we hear the constant drone of a life support machine, and the camera moves upwards to reveal the girl in a hospital room on a bed, implying that she was in a coma; it is said that one has their most vivid dream ever before their death.

  1. Good - nice ideas in here. I want you to go and find out about Vladimir Propp's character achetypes - find out what they are, and think about how they might influence your film.
