Shooting plan  Rehearsal footage -  12 /11/19 Filming days - 16/11/19 + 17/11/19                           23/11/19 + 24/11/19 - I will be using my own camera to film - Tripod ?

Sound application Diagetic - one line of dialogue: "It's coming"                  Foley sounds: rain, tap dripping ,  Non-diagetic - Music 

narrative application  Throughout the film i will be using todorrov's theory of equilibrium - equilibrium - The boy living his day to day life, taking the pill everyday disruption - boy not taking the pill Recognition of disruption - seeing all the dead/injured people and being chased   attempt to resolve - everything rewinds and he takes the pill New equilibrium - everything is back to how it was in the beginning

Character profiles  Name -  age - 18 Gender - Male background - All his life he has taken a pill. He believed he was taking the pill because he has bad nightmares and the pill stops them, when in reality the pill is suppressing him from seeing the reality of the world surrounding him 

Mise-en-scene application  Setting  - A house, the woods and a street   Hair and  make up  - In dream sequence, the dying people are going to have blood and look very pale. i will do this by using SFX makeup Costume -  I want the costume to be very naturalistic as  i  don't want it to look 'fake' or setup.  i  want it to look realistic and as if it has  actually happened .   Lighting  - Again  i  would like it to be naturalistic however  i  would preferably like it a bit cool toned as it will give it an  on edge  feeling, this can be done quite easily as it will be winter when in filming so the dark/rainy weather gives those tones also this can be done during the editing process Character expression and movement -  The character is going to be very tense and restless therefore they will be out of breath from running and show fear on  they're  face   ...

casting choice  I have chosen an 18 year old boy as my main character -  i wanted my character to be around this sort of age as my whole narrative revolves around a pill which he has been told for his whole life that he has to take but now he is older he can make his own decisions and decides not to take it  i chose a male rather than a female because i feel like in this situation a male being vulnerable will have a bigger impact on the audience as one of the stereotypes of men are that they don't get as scared as women  I am going to be using between 3-4 extras  They will have the SFX makeup on  The extra that says "it's coming2 will be a female 

final idea  - Everyday this boy takes a pill to stop his nightmares - or that is what he thought  - The man has to take his pill at "9" everyday but takes it late - at "11"one day and Instead of going from the good to the bad quite drastically, i could possibly build it up by the man doing his normal routine e.g. going on a run and then he sees a corpse for a split second, then a shot of his face and then the shot goes back to where the corpse was but its gone.  i could possibly shoot a scene where we see what is happening through the mans eyes but then cross cut it with what is reality - Then the next day he could decide not to take it and he has the major nightmare where everything goes wrong and he is finally able to see what is happening in reality that the pill just suppresses him from seeing what is happening in real life.                    Wakes up in nightmare -  Walks outside normal Sees ...
