This quote form William Goldman defines one of the aspects I must cover for this to a succeed in what I am trying to create. This quote will be one of the driving forces of the my project as it will give me the confidence I need to go ahead with my project.
'We were born in an analogue era, we shall die in a digital one'- Paul Schrader
This also defines the era of the world we live in today and everything is constantly advancing and the whole concept of web 2.0, where the Internet is ours to control and we control everything that goes on there. This helps my projects as the main theme of the project is creating a promotional package and the digital factor of it is key to my project as my research has guided me to know that today's movie industry heavily relies on global digital mediums.
After about a couple of days after coming up with my brainstorm of ideas and choosing what idea i was going to use to concentrate on and build a detailed narrative and story. So I will start by writing a synopsis of my idea and then a pitch for it.
Synopsis of my film
The setting of my film is an Asylum for the worlds mystery patients and there's one patient who is the biggest mystery of them all, Patient 13. Apart from the obvious white hospital clothing he wears a distinctive bandage around his eyes, as he is blind. Patient 13 is a quiet and obedient character, but after the staff discover weird drawings in his cell and the head of the hospital gets a specialist doctor, Dr. Jones, who sets out to investigate the mind of Patient 13. Patient 13 is told by Dr Jones to draw what he thinks he looks like and what he thinks Dr Jones looks like. Patient 13 draws himself as an angel and draws Dr Jones as a demon. This leads to a number of weird deaths of the staff of hospital and No one knows what has happened. Dr Jones eventually finds more drawing of plans of the deaths of the staff members in the cell of patient 13 and finds out, through a letter in his cell, that Patient 13 has been possessed by the devil to believe he is an angel and everybody else is evil and it is Patient 13's duty to rid the world of evil, ending in a mass killing spree which Dr Jones needs to sort out.
Characters
Patient 13: Patient 13 is a ambiguous character who does what he is told and doesn't cause much trouble, just mystery. He wear a white stray jacket and a distinctive white blindfold, suggesting he is blindfold. he wears this blindfold as he was blinded at a young age and was admitted into the mental institute because he believed he could see after he had his eyes removed. his calm obedient character breaks as he is possessed by the devil who is timing everything to unleash his wrath by using patient 13.
Dr Jones: Dr Jones is a recently divorced specialist psycho analyst who is struggling to get over his divorce and loss of custody of his two little girls. Along with these stresses comes his job which adds to his depression as he never was confident in his abilities until he studied Patient 13, who the doctor realises is any ordinary mental patient and embarks on a dangerous investigation investigating him. Apart from all his problems he still dress smartly in a suit.
Female Doctor: This character is that of a previous doctor that was looking into the case of Patient 13 and unbeknown to Dr Jones no one has told about her as she failed in attempting to solve the case of Patient 13, resulting in her death form the wrath of Patient 13 himself.
Locations
Hospital: The hospital is the location for the whole film and is the centre of the chaos. All investigations, interrogations and events occur at this hospital. The appearance of the hospital is a big complex which looks like a very well run and sharp system which reflects the persona the head of the hospital has.
Pitch
One mental hospital, a possessed patient who go's on a killing spree and one Doctor who sets out to sort the problem out. Outcome? A psychologically testing and challenging journey of stopping a ruthless character. Thrown is the gripping back story of the present, with the past heavily influencing it.
I have decided to do my two ancillary tasks first i thought it would be more effective and convenient for me to do the ancillary tasks first so it would lead up to the creation of the teaser trailer. The next stages of my process would be to cast a crew for this project in order to do photoshoots for both the poster and magazine cover and the teaser trailer itself.
