Three Act Structure...
Act One:
It starts off blurred and focuses properly as it zooms into young David’s (Thomas Knight) face whilst he is working on his science project. He is struggling to work as he keeps having thoughts of weird & terrible events in his life, these will be shown as flashbacks. These flashbacks will represent the abuse that David suffered as a child, and will show his parents arguing, fighting, crying and the slamming of doors will give the audience an insight into David’s mind. It will also give the audience a bit of knowledge into what he had been through. He will then leaves the room for some air and time to think- this will be a medium shot.
Act Two:
The second scene will show a series of clips which build up a montage to signify David growing through time. The trailer goes from black and white to colour which will indicate change in time. The next shot is where David is sat on an empty bus, and see's himself walking past, this will be a point of view shot-reverse-shot of David on the bus and himself walking past the bus- the two personalities collide, and come together in a clever transaction. The next shot will be a medium shot of David walking to the park which will follow a shot-reverse-shot of him walking towards isolated bench. The sense of being alone and vulnerability needs to be indicated, so the shot of the park late at night will give of a lonely vibe. A long shot will then show a girl walking a dog in the park which will be followed by a close up shot showing them both talking.
Act Three:
In this section, we will show the effect of what David went through as a child, as his anger and frustration begins to show through his strange behaviour. This act is going to be very upbeat with a fast tempo of shots, aswell as music to set the scene, ensuring suspence fpr the audience. There will be flashing images to show confusion and the mental aspect of the film. The final shot of this act will be a shot of david looking into the mirror, he see's his younger self in the mirror as he turns to leave the reflection stays the same, it fades into a black out, with end credits. We will do this to show David's state of mind and split personality as well as insuring interest from the audience.
