Planning

I decided to follow through with my idea of the isolation film as the story line is more original and i can gain more experience with the experimenting and different idea's I can get from making this narrative.

Over the half term I hope to have managed to find an actor, a full detailed story line, a mock up film poster and a place I plan to film in.

Secondary Research

Within this 4 minute clip a youtuber analyses a short film called 2+2=5 directed by Babak Anvari made in 2011 then released online in 2013. He starts with a short synopsis of the whole story which he goes into the deeper level of meaning that the films message is trying to explain as it represents the domination of authority and how it subliminally shows authorities of war within the short film and their roles within their authority, as well as the main message which you can get from it is that the higher authority try to manipulate the lower society by forcing them believe what they want them to think such as changing their knowledge from 4 to 5 which as in society if information was to be changed then the majority would rebel for justice as in the human race we find it hard to accept changes once we already have the facts. He then goes into the detail of the set and how it adds to the message that the director is trying to express as the walls are grey and dull thus making them look like prison walls creating the personas of venerability then the character build up creates a man of high authority and scares the audience due to his power that has been created, as once the rebel student begins to rebel the audience feels scared for him due to they know he won't back down any of his power to a student. He then goes onto explain how the reason in which why the film is so successful is due to the message expressing the problems in social conduct and putting them into a relatable place for the audience so that it is easier for them to engage themselves and relate to the story which i also agree with.

Ideas I have so far on narratives

Bad Influences:

1. Starts with the representation of the antagonists death/suicide
2. Tracks back to meeting new friends/close friends they already have
3. Friends influence them into doing illegal substances
4. Leads to overdose/being spiked 
5. Show the lead up to their death
6. Show the 'friends' reactions (they don't care, laughing about it, ignore it) Are they true friends?
7. Possibly see the after spirit looking over them; was it really worth it?

Isolation:

1. Antagonist shown in an isolated room (partly like a mental asylum)
2. They keep trying to go towards the door so they can get out
3. Every time they get closer to the door they flash back to where they began
4. Then someone opens the door and they can walk straight out
5. They were in their bedroom the whole time
