Plot Points

Plot

I created a rough draft of the first half of my project and how I wanted to plan it out. It is a list of restrictions and things I want to include in my plot and I will solidify it all later. 

PLOT:

-NO schizophrenia

-NO torture scenes

To develop a background for the psychological portion of my assignment to bring further sense and significance to important objects, I wanted to develop a very rough draft on how to create the unique side of my project. I was inspired by many psychological films, but I want to add to that, and blow people's minds more with an idea despite not being able to fully execute it yet. I want to bring significance to food, specifically a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. I know that's oddly specific for some reason, but I wanted to try and give as much money and power aspects to my characters, showing their wealth and high statuses. I cannot do this with setting as I don't have a millionaire house to film with, but the props I can use may be able to help me in this aspect. I don't really know how to develop a meaning to the smoked salmon, because its just salmon, but the close up shots I wanted to use at the beginning could detail its later importance. 

Explaining my idea and what shots I have so far thought up of:

*Separating plot points every 10 seconds*

TWO OPTIONS FOR WHERE TO PUT TITLE!!!

``1`` PUT IT BEFORE THE END AFTER THE VIOLENCE SCENE, AND THAN START THE CHARACTER 2 DEVELOPMENT IN THE LAST 20 SECONDS

``2`` PUT IT 20 SECONDS INTO THE FILM, AFTER THE MAKING BAGEL SCENE AND THAN DONT PUT THE C3 DEVELOPMENT AT ALL AND END WITH THE VIOLENCE SCENE.

**CAPGRAS SYNDROME??***

Capgras syndrome: Capgras syndrome (CS), or delusion of doubles, is a delusional misidentification syndrome. It is a syndrome characterized by a false belief that an identical duplicate has replaced someone significant to the patient. In CS, the imposter can also replace an inanimate object or an animal.

-Only two characters instead of trying to make a family of them. Two brothers/siblings. One of them has the syndrome and believes the other is a bad person (killer, fighter, whatever) when they actually are??

01. The production title. Close up shots of making the bagel with smoked salmon. The cutting to black will have the credits with it. The alternative to this, is a continuous shot of the character making the bagel themselves. It would exclude their face, shot from neck down to upper legs. I have not decided on this specific layout yet, but I can film both options. 

10-20 secs

02. After the title, the character will be shot in a medium shot, revealing their face carrying and eating the smoked salmon to their grand room where the piano is. They put down the bagel, still chewing and hover their fingers over the keys. They begin to play. The intro will start with a very long, low angle shot of the character playing, slowly easing into the feeling of the music and getting into it. (Start the music at around 0:33?) 

20-30 secs

03. This will be various shots. Close ups of the hands, keys. Long shots of playing. Medium shots of playing. Low angles, high angles, etc.

30-40 secs

04. As the music begins to crescendo, begin to edit in the parts of the fighting. They will be tight shots, very quick and spread out to the beat. There will be one face shown but it is of the person getting hit and who 'looses the fight' I may include some POV shots, I'm still unsure about this.

40-50 secs

05. Continuing with the fighting, the person who looses will be left on the floor with (fake) blood. There will be switches between the character playing the piano and the fighting. 

50-60 secs

06. As the person who beat the other person walks away, the music will go back to being quiet, close up of the main characters face, as they sit there, zoning out, before taking a bite of the bagel and walking away. The title will than play (opt 2) and it will be displayed on the piano bench the character was sitting on. 

60-70 secs

Planning all of this out is very important to me, because if I juts keep the rough draft inside of my head, I will never execute it how I would like to, I've learnt from past projects and I want to start developing every little detail now, I believe this will create depth to my project and help it to be the perfect.

This would matter in my process to help fully detail everything so I don't leave anything out. I can create a good, well thought out project to my best ability.
