Before coming up with initial ideas we looked at a few thriller movies, which could inspire our own opening scene. One of which was "You get me" a Netflix original production. In this movie, the audience follows a teenage girl who has severe mental issues and developed an obsession for a guy. The culprit in our movie is inspired by the main character from "You get me" as we want to use the destabilized and fragmented mind of the character to develop a sinister frame of mind.Top line
When Eve, a teenager, loses her mother, she lashes out at her friends for being unsupported. Eve is prescribed opioids to help her cope but soon becomes addicted. Confiding in her online blog, she reveals her inner rage as she nurses disturbing vindictive tendencies and confides in her only remaining friend, her doll, Elizabeth
The Big Question
How much longer will the opioids be of any use to Eve's mental state
Treatment
The psychological thriller begins with a party scene which shows the main character Eve having 'the time of her life'. We see her at her peak. She is socializing, laughing and having fun. This is captured by focusing on her dancing. This introduction to the character gives the audience slight insight into the character's life.
One year later, we find the character Eve, accompanied with her beloved doll revisiting her emotive scars of the past and slowly spiraling towards anger and hatred until she finally cracks
