Final Idea - MAIN production PART 1

Hello Everyone!

Me and my partner had our group meeting and shared our own ideas. We've decided to use the drug problem as our main theme but we changed it a little bit. In the beginning we wanted to show how drugs affect people's life, but we realised that it's going to be harder to deal with such a big issue so we made it a bit simpler. We are gonna show what drugs does to everyone who is not addicted and how it all starts by showing a girl going out to a party just for one night and coming back from it in a really bad condition.
We've also decided to keep the idea of starting with the end because it will be very interesting for the audience if we just show bits of the end of the night and then go back to how the girl is actually getting ready for the party.

This is our actual idea including the shots we are planning to use:

• Long establishing shot of London to identify the location and set the scene. Heavy breathing on the background which is to interest the audience and make them pay attention.

Variety of different shots of a girl walking

• Long shot behind her, cutting to middle shot, a pan beside her- these shots will be to make the audience follow the character.
•  A few blurry POV shots to show how confused and lost she is. 
• Close ups on parts of her body (ripped tights, messed up make up all over her face, her feet - wearing no shoes). We won't actually show her face in a close up in the first a few seconds, that would make the audience want to find out who she is and what's happened to her.

On the background there will be a voice which is going to be her talking to the audience as if she's hearing things and hallucinating - "Have you ever thought that you would end up like this when all you expected when you were a kid was the world. You never imagined the world changing you into something that took away your innocence, happiness, pureness.
By doing this we want to show how everything changes when you grow up and as we've said before the use of the dramatic voice and sound on the background is very significant to our piece.
The mice-en-scene is going to be very dark to set the atmosphere and the mood of the scene.
While this is happening we are going to show through a long shot of the girl trying to stay on her feet holding on to the wall but she falls down and we see a guy coming behind her. After that we are gonna show a close up of her face how the guy is trying to silence her by putting his hand over her mouth. We see her facial expression and the shot is gonna dissolve into another shot which is going to change the scene and that way we are gonna start the actual beginning of the movie.
The mice-en-scene changes completely with a happy song on the background and bright colours to highlight to the audience that the scene is different and make them realise that this is the beginning before she took the drugs.
We are gonna start with close ups of the girl putting make up - her lips, her eyes, putting earrings on, the dress and her heels. After that the happy song stops, over the shoulder shot of the girl turning around saying: So, how do I look? and this will bring the audience to reality and what's actually happening in the scene. Mid shot of her friends sitting on the bed putting make up as well. The last shot is going to be a close up shot of her taking the drugs from her draw and then a mid shot of her saying: ' We are ready to go?'.
