Caitlyn's storyline

Media Studies film idea
Genre: Thriller
Location: A bedroom, the streets, the woods and the hospital.
Context - It’s been 3 months since Olivia’s best friend was kidnapped right in front of her and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
  • The opening scene starts with Olivia sat on her bed looking traumatised, depressed and psychotic. 
  • Her mum enters and asks her if she is okay and she doesn’t reply
  • She is drawing the same image over and over again on a notepad, an image of a lightbulb.
  • This is the only thing she can remember about the person who kidnapped her best friend, a lightbulb tattoo on their wrist.
  • She blames herself and seeks revenge for what happened to her best friend.
  • Later that day she sees a man with that same tattoo and follows him through the streets and into the woods and then suddenly he disappears, mad and frantic she is screaming and shouting searching the woods for him.
  • The next minute she blanks out and wakes up in a hospital bed, with her mum staring down at her, she tells her that she’d just got up and wondered towards the woods and she had been hallucinating the whole time. 
  • Olivia is that distraught from her best friend’s kidnapping that she frequently hallucinates and has been depressed since the event. Olivia refuses to admit the man with the tattoo wasn’t real and just part of a hallucination.
