With deciding our portfolio project genre; Psychological-Thriller, we have identified certain concepts we want to emphasis. When developing our story, we decided to centripetally use a mental disorder to allow for character development and acts as conflict within our story, once again using conventions of drama.
We met in groups to discuss our progress on the portfolio projects, during this process we viewed each others work and ideas to provide constructive criticism. When presenting the ideas of our group, the team members identified certain discrepancies within the development of our story and details of our film opening.
Suggestions included:
- Appropriately identifying and portraying a mental disorder
- Using mise-en-scene to appropriately
-Formulating our entire story of conflict around the pressure or personal issue with having the disease
This third point could be reflective of films such as "The Fault in Our Stars" (2014) or "Love Simon" (2018), where one film focuses on a physical disorder, while the other focuses on the struggle of a teenage boy who is gay and is on his experience in coming of age. While these films are not truly on the basis for our film as references, they can allow us to hold examples of character/conflict development, which is a crucial element in the entirety of our story.
By developing our story, we can then decide on ways we could introduce such story in a creative and effect manner, parallel with the message we want relayed to the viewer.
