This Psychological thriller is about the story of a young woman who wakes up lost and confused what's that noise and who is that figure following? There's no time for questions, not even time to breathe you need to run. You hear a voice it seems friendly go towards it.
On the right is an example of how me and my team scripted the short film not many lines but with a lot of imagery. This is scene 1 and beginning of scene 2 this was a draft and we didn't end up using this exact order as our opening but I did think include it as it is the skeleton I used to show the actor and that we used to create our opening.
The casting will be fairly easy as we need at most 3 characters.
The characters will be 2 (as I've labelled them) entities will be embodiment for two of the different ways someone can have the world project onto them when suffering from depression and other mental illnesses. This is however only the interpretation of the experiences from personal stories from our research and i would like to add that depression can take on many forms for each individual such see in Research for more on that.
The first "entity" will be the darker and rude individual who will be manipulative to the main protagonist the role of this character will be to embody the illnesses protag has. You will clearly see this character it will stand by the protag and usually be commenting in calm tones hateful and threatening comments the calmness and subtlety of the comments are meant to show that even those the character seems to be a friend and may be quiet at times it is still hurtful and dangerous and near the climax till the ending of this film when we see our protag seeking help the entity knows it's being threatened and gets more panicky. Once the climax is over and we go into the ending entity is inside of reflections and a TV more and more to show it's being trapped and silenced bring us to the other entity the believed antagonist.
The second "entity" is viewed as a taller black faded being and is usually lurking in the background watching over the protag and throughout the film we see the protag run from this entity as instructed by the first. The more protag sees this entity the more unclear her view of reality gets as she panics and blacks in and out of the areas she finds herself on.
