The document outlines an individual presentation on creating an opening sequence for a drama film about drug addiction, including inspiration from real films about overcoming adversity, plans to show how the main character becomes addicted to drugs over time and isolates herself from friends and family, and ending the opening sequence on a cliffhanger of the character passed out on the floor with an empty pill bottle to create enigma.

ASSIGNMENT 8 INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATION Drama
DRAMA • I have chosen this genre because the opening sequence will create enigma and keep the audience interested. • The film genre Drama deals with serious and emotional issues with characters in conflict. • Examples: 4321, The Freedom Writers • Drama conventions are: plot driven, realistic settings, realistic characters, character is at a critical point in their life.
INSPIRATIONAL FILMS The Freedom Writers • A drama based true movie teacher • Released in 2007 • Teacher who inspires unprivileged children
INSPIRATIONS • True story, inspired me to make mine as realistic as I can. • Characters are symbols, I should make my characters represent something
4321 This film has inspired me because the ending scene was put at the beginning so the audience would wonder how she got to that position. The scene is set in a cafe which their target audience (15-18 year olds) would be familiar with. This inspires me to make my settings relate to my target audience.
THEMES • My chosen theme is addiction. Here are my ideas for my opening sequence 2 teens The 2 teens owe and a him money and Gangster expensive (40 year jewellery old man) Crime Drama Set outside in the dark The teens are shocked when they see him with a gun - cliff hanger
OTHER INITIAL IDEAS She’s always asking where 16 year old he is and if girl is she can obsessed with come. He’s Obsession her brothers not keen on friend her. she finally gets into his house She keeps documents and waits for (photos, videos etc) of him to come in him
MY FINAL IDEA A friend introduced the girl to drugs. She’s been excessively Ending – Addiction taking them ever empty since bottle with the lid on the floor Her friend isn’t going to Calls the drug dealer help and he remembers what happened before and threatens her.
PLANS • The whole film: 1. Passes out on the floor 2. Flash back to how she got introduced to drugs 3. We see how she’s changed towards her friends 4. People closest to her gradually move away from her. 5. She overdoses in her room and passes out.
PLANS • The opening sequence: 1. The girl has passed out on the floor 2. She skips school and calls dealer, he threatens to attack her 3. Flash back of how she got introduced to drugs 4. Waits for friend in the park, the friend doesn’t turn up 5. Empty bottle of pills on the floor
CHARACTERS The older sister • 18 years old • Wise, responsible • Warns her to stop taking drugs and acting they way she’s been • Wears smart clothing The girl • 16 years old • Easily influenced • Dangerously overdoses on drugs • Convinces her peers to start taking them too. • Wears Baggy clothing and smudged make up
ENIGMA To create enigma I am going to: • Put the final scene at the beginning • Make the end scene of the opening sequence mysterious to make them wonder how it happened and what happened next.
STORYBOARD The girl has passed out on her Over the shoulder shot of Extreme close up shot of bedroom floor the girl listening to her the door sister telling her about the way she’s been acting.
