Final Project Idea Blog Post

    For the final project the idea me and my group decided together on was to make a horror film about an intense case of schizophrenia. It follows a linear storyline where the events happen in order. The theme mainly shown is not everything is what seems, while it represents mental illnesses. In the start of the film, you see the main character hanging out with his friend in a sunny, bright park in which they are all laughing and talking to each other about anything. This happens until a sharp ringing occurs and the main character spaces away from the conversation. He snaps back when they bring up going to lunch.

    At lunch the group is once more chatting about school while the main character is picking at his food and once more, we hear the ringing, and he spaces out again. He comes back when they said they should head back to play some games. When back at the house, they are laughing and playing a video game until the main character hears the ringing louder than ever, spacing out, and then the TV turns into static. In the final part, we see the character in a strait jacket in a dark and depressing room in front of a static TV. The audience comes to realize none of the previous parts have happened at all, just a hallucination from his mental illness.

    Out of the entire film, I am most excited about the ending, where the main character finally snaps back to reality. This is a pivotal part of the film. The only thing I worry about is not properly implementing the thrill or horror portion of the film.
