Another Film Idea
The name that we decided on for out film was 'Seven years bad luck'. We liked this name because we found that out of all the ones we came up with when brainstorming it sounded mopst effective and we felt that it wa ssomething which could have multiple meanings which meant it would be easier to work with. It also matched out plot ideas for5 the film well about it all being about superstition as the filmw as going to be based on a girl breaking a mirror and getting 7 years bad luck. This is a common supersticious quote that a lot of people say so we thought that this would be a name that people would find catchy and would make them want to watch the film more.
The actor we felt would be best for Lana, the main actor, would be Amanda Seyfried. We felt that she would be the best to play as the actor for this part because she is a well known actor who has played in jennifers body. A teen horror. In this film it shows her looking quite scary and her voice is perfect for the character as its quite soft yet instructive. The actor we feel would fit perfect as the boyfriend of amanda is Jerard Butler. He is a very famous actor, most known for his part as the boyfriend in the romance p.s i love you. Considering the role of this character will be a nice boyfriend who is inside the psychiatric unit with lana, tyring to help her get through her problems, we feel him as a character would fit the perfect stereotype. If we were to choose an actor that was out of the ordinary to play a boyfriend in a film, it may draw the attention away from Amanda, the main character as people will be thinking about why someone out of the ordniary is playing as a boyfriend if they have filmed in another film such as nightmare on elms street as the baddie for example. The voice we feel would be best to fit the character of the demon/ghost would be Christopher Walken. Although we wouldnt see his face within this film, his voice is very easily distinguished. He has appeared in scary films before such as sleepy hollow. This is a horror and he is a brilliant actor in it. He has quite deep seductive voice and considering the conventions for the character of the demon in our film, we feel this would be the best choice.
The plot of the film- Lana is a 25 year old who does not live the everyday normal life. She lives in a psychiatric unit, she was sent there on the 7th october, 1983. This was after her making claims that someone had been following her but he was not actually there, someone was whispering to her , trying to seduct her, but no one was there. Everyone thought she was lying. On her 21st birthday, she had a 'friend' over to stay. (This is a flashback shown to the audience so that they can understand what events led up to Lana having her bad luck and tragic events. That night she made the biggest mistake of her life. Her life changed forever. As she closes the curtains in the room her and Ethen are staying in, a small mirror positioned on her mantle piece falls off and smashes on the floor. Lana is a girl who is extremelly supersticious and small clips of her are shown to the audience, previously avoiding putting up umbrella's in doors for example and putting new shoes on the table. Her whole life she has been like this and once that mirror smashed, she knew that the worst was yet to come. The morning after she wakes up, the boy from lastnight has already left her home and all that is left is the mirror, remains on the floor, smashed. She picks it up and when she turns it over it has written in blood on the glass, ''The fun begins''.Over the period of the next 7 years, her life changes dramatically. Within the first year, she is placed inside a psychiatric unit with noone to support her, no family left to comfort of help her and only her boyfriend, Ethen, who she meets in the unit to listen to her. Starting from that very day that she smashed the mirror, every day is another day of living terror. She starts living with the constant shadow of a demon, following her around making every second hell. She starts to expirience supernatural activity in her small bedroom, situated in the phsyciatric unit, mirrors being thrown at her, writing appearing on the walls and the worst of it all, vernon begins his horiffic actions of rape and invasion of privacy. Her medical condition becomes progressively worse and her personality rots away rapidly. At the end of the film, Lana, with the help of her boyfriend manage to proove that vernon has been following her around as they use an old ouija board that they find in a closet in the unit. A camera, situated in the corner of the room manages to catch all the activity on its night vision and the truth about Lana's living hell for 7 years comes out and hits news all over the country.
