Initial Ideas

We have used a technique which is used by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg in the making of ‘Hot Fuzz’.  This technique involved writing down as much information as possible about different aspects of their production including setting/locations, characters etc. through the use of mind maps and lists.
We have adapted this when creating ideas for our own production.  First of all we accessed memories about events in our lives.  We have decided to develop our idea based on Alexia's experience of seeing herself in a ghost like form.
We then created a premise for the film including a brief idea for a beginning a middle and an ending.  We decided to include an equilibrium as this is an effective convention seen in the majority of thrillers.
Finally we have begun to lay out the basic characteristics of the main character.  Our idea is to have one teenage girl who has two sides to her; normal and evil both trapped in one body.  The plan below states the simple yet important information about each personality within the main character.
