statement of intent
My film is going to be about a girl who has been shielded from the real world all her life. She has only been around her two parents and her auntie her whole life. She was never allowed to leave the house. Home schooled all her life and her parents controlled everything. They had conditioned her to believe that anything outside their home was a danger but obviously as a growing child, her curiosity grew also. The main character – the 17 year old girl – does look to escape her home as she wants to explore the outside world.
At age 10 her curiosity started to grow and she started to look more out the windows but all she ever did see were foggy skies as her house was so far up on a hill, secluded from any other civilisation. From 11, she started to notice strange deliveries during the night as she always seen a bright headlight shine through her window at exactly 1:30am. When she was younger she believed it was a star as that was what she was lead to believe.
This film will be targeting teenagers who may relate to some extent. Maybe not relate literally but can relate figuratively speaking. A viewer might feel trapped in their own life therefore would seek comfort through this film because it may or may not be a similar experience.
The genre of my film is a thriller with some unexpected turns that will make it a horror. There is also mystery appearing in my film because

●Political protests
○ Attempts to change to laws or legislation
○ Organised political movements
○ Public protests
○ Petitions, marches
● However, we can look at political protest in terms of:
○ Cultural resistance
○ Everyday people
● Why look at cultural resistance?
○ Overt political protest is uncommon. When it occurs, it often results in a backlash.
○ Even if overt political protest does results in changes in legislation, it won’t necessarily change public
opinion.
○ Culture is what influences people’s hearts, minds and opinions.
● In the 1970s, a group of cultural theorists in Birmingham applied Gramsici’s theories to post-war
British working-class youth culture
● Looked at working class cultures like the teddy-boys, mods, skinheads, and punks – subcultures
unified by shared tastes in fashion, music and ideology.
● They argued argued that the formation of subcultures offered young working class people a solution
to the problems they were collectively experiencing in society.
Positives of The Birmingham School’s subcultural theory:
● Validated the study of popular culture – previously considered superficial
Criticism The Birmingham School’s subcultural theory:
● Focused on white working class masculinity
● Ignored ethnic minority, female and queer youth cultures
Prime Minister 1979-1990
● Militant campaigner for middle-class interests
● In an 1978 interview: ‘British national identity
could be swamped by people with different
culture’
● Hardline attitude towards immigrantion
● Conservative Manifesto: ‘firm immigration control
for the future is essential if we are to achieve
good community relations’
● British Nationality Act of 1981: introduced a
series of increasingly tough immigration
procedures and excluded Asian people from
entering Britain.
- ‘Ghost Town’: a haunting 1981 protest song that still makes sense today
- It was their last song before splitting up and reforming as The Special AKA and stayed at the top of the UK charts for three weeks.
- The music video was directed by Barney Bubbles and filmed in the East End of London, Blackwell Tunnel and a before-hours City of London.

STATEMENT OF INTENT
Posters
I intend to create to advertising products for my film ‘False Awakening’ – which is about a man who discovers the unimaginable world of lucid dreaming but becomes to carried away with the life he desires.
For my advertisements, I plan to create a billboard and a poster:
- Billboard – will signify the main character placed in the centre with his eyes shut, implying he is entering his dreams. The title will be displayed towards the left and will appear skewed in order to convey the feeling of being disorientated, much like the protagonist in the film. when as the logos of the producers, distributors and exhibitioners will be discreetly placed towards the right.
- Poster – will signify the protagonists fantasy setting, however it has deteriorated into a depressing isolated place much like his reality. the face of the protagonist will be displayed in the middle however transparent and faded, to reflect their sense of detachment and depressive state. The title will be displayed in the top middle when as the logos of the producers, distributors and exhibitioners will be discreetly placed and the bottom left corner
The title of the film will provide anchorage as well as the logos of the Producer, Out-There Films, Distributor, Columbia Pictures, and Exhibitioner, Channel 4. The film will be aimed at an older more alternative audience into the psychological thriller genre.
Sequences
With regards to the film sequences, I plan on directing, filming and editing two clips from the film to act as teasers and entice an audience:
- Sequence 1: will display the main characters dull, repetitive life, whilst also giving the audience an insight into the who is character is as a person – particular, isolated and odd.
- Sequence 2: reveals what goes on behind his eyes and the idyllic world he escapes to in his spare moments
I will use incorporate conventional elements of the psychological thriller genre in order to create a sense of familiarity for my audience –
- Dark tones
- isolated locations
- eerie music
- dissolving sense of reality
- elements of mystery and confusion
- psychological breakdowns
- binary opposites
