| Title |
| Inside Battle |
| Logline |
| Two personalties fighting to take over the body. |
| Summary |
| The genre of my movie idea is psychological thriller.I was influenced by the movies called ‘split’ and ‘us’ however my story line is quite different to those movies, because my idea is located inside the characters mind. Lesley [main character] is trying to run away and stopping Yelsel [second persoanlty] from taking over. |
| Narrative:Linear |
| My location in the movie would be the college, for example the gallery room for my piano scene, however in the film the college is the set up that looks like Lesley’s mind. My rasing action is when yelsel and lesley find eachother and and they have a stare off. Yelsel starsts counting down from 10 to 0 and starts chaising Lesley. Yelsel loses Lesley but then lesley ends up running into her and Yelsel ends up stabbing Lesley At the end Yelsel ends up taking over the body it cuts of when Yelsel goes to the bathroom and looks in the horror and her eyes turn red. |
| Characters / Actors |
| Lesley Dissociative identity disorder (DID), this she developed this at the age of 9 when she has a very traumatic experience, she only has 2 personalties inside her, ones the normal version which is her normal self and the other personalty that comes out whenever the normal normal person losing control over her life, when the 2nd personalty comes out they will do everything to gain that control over her life including doing dirty work such as murder. She lives alone and does not have any other relationships other then her coworkers. She is also a CEO of a company. |
| Influences |
| I was inspired by the movies named ‘split’ and ‘us’. The movie ‘us’ inspired me to creat my character Yelsel [second personalty] to chaise Lesley and the movie ‘split’ inspired me to creat lesley and Yelsel being locked in the same body and fight over who gets to be in control. |
