statement of intent

I intend to produce two different posters to advertise my film and my website through including signifiers that link to the narrative. I will create and introduce the central concepts, ideas and characters without explicitly revealing the details of the plot. My posters will include a female character at the age of 18 who is in a relationship in which her boyfriend is dangerously obsessed with her. One of my two posters will show Emily when she’s running away from Dan which is a crucial moment in the movie as it leads to the death of the protagonist and one is a picture of Dan, the serial murderer, with a shadow of a hand luring over his head. The plot is inspired by the movie ‘Fear’ (1996) and presents a toxic relationship due to the protagonists boyfriend controlling her and being overly possessive. I want the background to obtain essences of a dark reality of the . The poster will have an eerie and omniscient style, this is why the unnerving music by Ozzy Osborne is used throughout my film. The text on my poster will be minimalistic as I don’t want it taking the attention of the central image. My movie would be made by small companies who are owned by a large conglomerate such as ‘Pixar’, ‘Disney’, ‘Warner Bros’. Both posters distributed on streaming platforms such as ‘Netflix’, ‘Amazon Prime Video’ and ‘Sky’. Both posters will follow the same theme but from different perspectives. My ideas are based in a tube station at night time to create an even more gloomy atmosphere. One poster is a picture of the protagonist running through the tube station and one will be of the killer sitting on the floor looking distressed with a shadow of a hand luring over his head. The genre of my film is horror based with streaks of romance and action running through it. This is due to the start where the pair are in a happy healthy couple and three quarters of the way through where the use of weapons and violence is used.

My film is based on a 18 year old girl called Emily who lives with her parents and boyfriend, Dan. Dan is secretly an alcoholic and sneaks out of the house to drink at least 5 nights per week. No one is aware of Dan’s psychotic ways until he is found following Emily. She is always travelling around London for work purposes only, meanwhile Dan thinks she is cheating on him. Dan is possessive, slightly psychopathic and has tormented Emily since they started their relationship 3 years ago. One day one of her work colleagues walks with her to the tube as they are working together. Dan sees them together and follows them. In the early morning after, he finds them waiting for a train on the underground tube station on their way home from a job. Emily’s colleague leaves her and goes to the platform next door to go home. Dan follows him and kills him due to his misconception of their relationship. Emily sees, screams and runs from Dan, he chases her but she’s not looking where she’s going and runs straight onto the tube rails and into a moving train. Her ghost comes back to haunt Dan. After being tormented by what he has just seen, he goes to his local bar and ignoring everyone, drinks excessively until he is almost unable to walk. He stumbles through the lanes in the middle of the day to get home and feels as though he is being followed. He gets continuous flashbacks of the crime scene and starts to panic. Emily’s ghost continues to haunt him until he ends his life due to his uncontrollable paranoia.
