Narrative structure

Introduction

This blogpost will include the information on the narrative structure for our 5 minute single camera production.

Outline

Our 5 minute single camera production will be based around the horror/psychological thriller genre as our plot fits around the themes and techniques of that genre.

Our film will be in a non-linear (non-sequential) order because the plot will not go in time-chronological order. Our film will include use of flashbacks of the turning point/problem which occurs in the film.

Our equilibrium will be in a distorted order to ensure that we don't reveal the plot to the audience till the end. This will create a sense of shock to the viewer, which is the reaction we wish to get.

Audience

Our target audience are very important to our production, as we would want the right target audience in order to get more views on YouTube and to ensure that our production piece is successful.

Our main target audience are aimed at the age of 18+. The reason to why we chose the was because legally you would have to be 18+ to watch these specific types of movies.



The plot

Throughout the film, there will be edits of a webcam recording on a laptop, which is by the girl telling her story

Start: The scene starts off with the girl in the toilet. Her younger brother walks in and sees scars on her hand and questions her. In defense, she hides her scars and storms out of the toilet.

Middle: She walks into the living room where she sees her father completely drunk and passed out on the sofa. she gets frustrated and upset, so she walks up the stairs into her bedroom.
She lies on her bed and she hallucinates/has flashbacks of the incident.

End: The girl commits suicide by hanging herself and the younger brother stands at the doorway watching her.
