Story Planning

Need To:



  • Get images of potential actors
  • Costumes
  • Experiments of visuals
  • Photographs of sets/locations
  • Art Direction

Idea One:
A group of friends - each struggling with issues ---> Handsome Prince metaphor for guy trying to help her (suffering abuse). Goes "offline" - withdrawal.


Idea Two:
Maybe she gets ill, confined to bedroom/hosptial. 


Idea Three:
She goes from place to place avoiding relationships etc and when she gets close to people she runs away - intimacy issues.

Possessive parents - run away. Handsome Prince to bring her out from herself. 


-Reference transition from childhood to woman (virginity?)

-Maybe she doesn't rebel as to protect her Mother - runs away/avoidance

-Accident - coma - life support - wakes up changed

-Run away to country ---> rest period  (cleaning, cooking etc)

-Reality/expectations - show dreams (surrealism)


 Idea Four:
Journal aspect - brings in narration and also reinforces book origin from fairy tales.

V
Maybe a blog? (modern day context)


Idea Five:
Town falls asleep at he same time. Wakes up and everything is different except she is the only person who knows this. Dad doesn't recognise her, everything/ones changed. References transition from childhood - womanhood having to grow up and fend for herself.


Characters:

Sleeping Beauty:
-Innocent
-Polite
-Naive
-Curious
-Well mannered
-Stubborn
-Spoilt


Bad Fairy:
-Jealous
-Conniving
-Female
-Old

-Excluded
-Vain


Good Fairy:

-Good person


Prince:
-Curious
-Cynic
-Apprehensive
-Adventurous
-Brave

Some Issues:

  • Oversexualization of girls
  • Alcohol
  • Sexual abuse
  • Drugs
  • Teen Pregnancy
  • Social Networking
  • Modern Technology - forms of communication

Idea of oversexualization - beauty pageants, modelling, overprotective parents. Mum = bad fairy, trying to live through her. 

*issue - go offline* KEY POINT!
