Setting
The film opening will be set in Admirals Park, we believe this is a good location for our movie because at the time we plan to go there, it shouldnt be very busy so there is a lot of opportunity to get un inturrupted shots. Also the park is quite scenic which means we can get some nice/interesting shots. Although there are some parts of the park that is quite ordinary and boring like the bench we filmed on, to try and put across the dark side of our movie.
Themes
The themes to our movie are all quite dark because of the idea of a mental disease eating away at the main character. Dualty is a theme that is used in our film, shown by 2 of the same person that are complete opposites, giving an interesting contrast to the film. Sanity is a second theme for film which is shown by the fact Zac (the main character) has an imaginary version of himself, which suggests that he is going insane.
Icons
We have 2 main icons in the opening sequence, one is the medicine bottle filled with pills to treat schizophrenia. Our second main icon is the 2 coke cans, one diet and one original, showing the 2 different personalities of Zac and Zabel.
Narrative
The narrative of our opening sequence consists of the reveal of Zacs imaginary version of himself (Zabel) and how their personalities contrast. The script is based around them 2 arguing on a bench because Zabel want to go home. In the script there are some subtle jokes that we have included in order to portray the comedy element to the film.
Characters
Max will play Zabel and Zac (schizophrenic character) and Liv will play the random woman that sits on the bench with him.
