Pitch

For my film opening, I have come up with an idea for the storyline of the film to give me a better idea of what to include in the opening.

I have decided that the genre will be a psychological thriller.

By following the Todorov theory I have come up with a brief storyline for the entire film:

Equilibrium:

There are two main characters, both of whom are teenage girls:

The first one is a poverty stricken orphan, Grace, who lives on the streets and who goes about her daily life busking and sleeping on the streets.

The second girl, Ava, is wealthy, popular and has a very active social life. She goes about her day going to school and being with her friends.
Throughout the film there is an omniscient narrator who is unknown to the audience but is telling the story of both girls. 

Disequilibrium:

Both girls begin to get into trouble and into danger in their separate lives, but also find that another person is interfering with their lives too. Ava finds that Grace is the one who is meddling with her personal life and tries to find her, however she can only find traces of her and her closest friends and even parents begin to turn against her. The two girls meet one another and start to have a negative effect on the other and conflict between the two girls begins to occur due to their social positions and very opposite personalities. 

The girls find out that they are the disassociated personalities of Grace who suffers from catatonic schizophrenia where she has episodes of immobility and is unresponsive to the world. It is at these points when Ava believes she is taking over Grace's body to lead a completely different life. However, the entire life led by both girls and the people in their lives are severe hallucinations taking place during the psychotic episodes.

Equilibrium:

The audience see's Grace sitting motionless in a psychiatric unit, and suddenly comes out of her period of immobility, ending the hallucination

The name of my film will be:  Insanity

My target audience will be primarily young women, in particular those who are at university or in the final years of school and I will address this audience by using actors of a similar age and also using clothing and props that are recognisable to them and things that they would typically see in their everyday life in order to make the film more appealing to them, but also to make the characters more relatable.
