Concrete Story Idea

              On Friday, after the group meeting, my group came together to discuss the plot of our short film. We had to figure out the introduction, rising action, conflict, climax, falling action, etc. We have been bouncing around ideas for over a week now and the group meeting and plenty of discussion time helped us cement our idea for the short film. Basically, our short film is about a young woman who feels very lonely and not in control of a lot in her life. The woman has a doll in her house that always seems to end up in places that she was not placed at. It is almost as if the doll has a mind of it's own. 
             Throughout the film, sounds can be heard in the young woman's house, we also see the POV of the doll. Natural diegetic sound paired with the point of view of the doll and also the switching of the doll's stance or location, will all allude to the fact that the doll is in fact inhuman. It is revealed in the end whilst the female character is sitting across from the doll of the floor, that the doll is a human being. The woman still believes that she simply has a doll in her house but at that point it is clear to the audience that the female antagonist has abducted a woman to feel less 'lonely' and more in control'. 
          The main character does not understand what she did, because mentally she is not okay. The young woman is in a state of psychosis, she is delusional. The underlying message of the film is that loneliness will drive people to do crazy things. We wanted to show the woman doing everyday activities by herself throughout the film to further push the narrative that she is alone, in life, in general. I understand that this is very rough but for now this is just a base, it only gets better from here.
