Post 6a - Group Work Continued

BEATS
  • Beat 1 - Introduce the world the film will be in
    Character wakes up in their room in a house.
  • Beat 2 - Introduce the character
    Character looks into a mirror, brushing himself down.
  • Beat 3 - Introduce the problem
    Character walks downstairs and sees other characters standing confused in the kitchen, hears murmmers of these characters asking where they are and what they're doing. Character gains a headache.
  • Beat 4 - How the character chooses to solve the problem
    Ignore the problem and goes outside into town to get on with his day.
  • Beat 5 - The character experiences a major set back
    Notices the odd behaviour of people around him, notices people asking questions like they've forgotten something. Bumps into someone and is hit by a flash of pain along with a memory. When he comes back to reality the character he bumped into is talking about forgetting a very important memory. [Being married or who the main character is, if the secondary character is a friend]
  • Beat 6 - The character is almost defeated
    Believes himself to be the cause of all this, starts breaking down and becomes twitchy and won't let anyone around him touch him.
  • Beat 7 - The character rejects a solution
    Character tries to explain to friends what's going on, tries to explain why he can't touch them. They don't believe him, he rejects the idea of telling people.
  • Beat 8 - The character discovers a solution
    [We're going to go for the opposite here] Character snaps and breaks down, the ending is unknown as we see he can't think of a way to fix this and instead slowly becomes insane from this.

GENRE
From a discussion with our teacher and in our group, we decided that the genre of the film would be that of a Mystery/Drama. Also on the 'Logline.it' website, it was suggested that the film would contain sci-fi elements.
