Written In Blood
I wanted to make a psychological thriller for the 12-15+ age range because I've always felt that films for these age ranges have always been too black and white, and I wanted to bring a certain degree of moral grey, the understanding of said moral grey and the understanding of the world we live in that comes with it. My target audience, 12-15, is such because 12 is the lowest grade psychological thrillers can achieve and 15 as this is the more common grade given to psychological thrillers and is the fall back plan should the content not be suitable for a 12.
A psychological thriller that follows a (insert gender) on their journey of discovering the weight that societal and sociological judgement has on them and society itself via imagined notes written in blood and imagined, inaudible whispers of those closest to them judging their every move.
A new take on the psychological thriller genre that follows a student on how they deal with the constant peer pressure constantly nagging at the back of their mind and how they react towards said constant nagging.
My main character will be the average student who has plenty of friends but none of them who is really close and can be likened to a sheep and is in denial of the effects of the voices of said friends weighing upon their psyche. The rest of the characters around them will be easily interchangeable and forgettable in order to keep the focus on the main character.
My source of actors will likely come from within the school, possibly some drama students, preferably A level but I will settle for GCSE drama students if no other choice presents itself. The school itself will likely be the location of the project, especially the areas of the school with dark corners where blood written post-its can be placed as well as some inaudible whispers introduced via the editing process.
