- 1. Imposter
- 2. • Title: Forget Me Not • Running time: 5 minutes • Narrative: • Beginning- Zara is dropped off at the The optician clinic by her boyfriend Jonathan where she collects contacts for her terrible vision, Her boyfriend then picks her back up. • Middle-Back at home, Zara goes upstairs to put her contacts in, when she goes back downstairs to Jonathan, she realizes its an imposter. Terrified she makes her way upstairs, and franticly looks for a reason why this is happening, who this person is and what she can do to escape. During this time, the imposter comes upstairs and confronts her. • End- The imposter forces his way into the room and attacks her viciously and she is left unconscious. The next morning, she finds herself in bed. She gets up confused and looks around, when. Suddenly the imposter walks in and says good morning, The movie then suddenly ends on a mid shot of him.
- 3. • Originality- My movie looks at how Zara’s eyesight (a physical defect). Has lead her into an unfortunate situation and not many other movies explore this. • My inspiration- is taken from the TV series Luther and the movie Hush which can be found on Netflix. • Purpose- I aim to create a thrilling short movie that will be eventually turned into a full length feature film.
- 4. • Character Breakdowns • Zara: Zara is a 22 year old women with an average income. She’s of Italian heritage but was born in the UK. She suffers from Terrible vision and as a result need glasses/Contacts. She is also very forgetful and shy at times and generally wears casual clothing . I would like an actress like Marion Lorillard to play Zara. She is best known for her part in inception as Mel Cob. The way she captured the despair that her character Mel cob felt in inception was really good and id like my actress to take after her performance.
- 5. • Character Breakdown • Imposter: the imposter I a dark skinned and tall male with short hair and a large build. His physique and facial features are supposedly similar to Zara’s actual Boyfriend otherwise despite her poor vision, she would have caught on that its an imposter. I would like the Actor to to be able to play a mysterious intruder the same way Idris Elba did in the movie Obsessed . In my opinion, his character in the movie was chilling in every way and id like to take this into my short movie.
- 6. • Character Breakdown: • Dianne is a consultant at Zara’s who she has been seeing for a long time at local clinic so they are good friends. She appears briefly in the short movie but would have a more substantial role in the full length movie. I would like Dianne to have an air of elegance and professionalism. She is in her Mid 30’s and has a close relationship with her patients Cate Blanchet would be the ideal actress to cast for the full length movie and so in the short I would like someone similar in the short movie.

This is because the movie has mature themes such as domestic abuse and stalking, as well as a complex story line that only those within my target audience age range and above may understand.

It would also be good to develop some of my other ideas and develop a thriller series that could be shown on Netflix. • Screening and Distribution: I would originally like to air my short movie on Channel 4 at 7 pm. Then in the future id like to take it to Netflix or other video streaming sites. • Legal and Ethical: Its important that my movie follows the laws that come with movie production. To avoid breaking the copyright lawsuit its important that I make sure not to put anything that is owned by others.
