LA1: Carry out a pre-production (Proposal)

1. The Logline A dark, gritty, and chilling horror story of a man called Luke who suffers greatly from nightmares and night terrors. Doctors give him sleeping tablets to help but he is convinced the monster he is “dreaming” about is real, praying on him as he tries to sleep, whispering his name and crying out from beyond. He can hide, but there is no escape in “a nightmare!” 2. Screenplay Structure o Act 1: The Set Up: we are quickly introduced the main victim of the story ‘Luke’ discussing conflicts of nightmares with his therapist. o Act 2: The Conflict- he wakes up during the middle of night and the hauntings and tension start to begin, increasing in extremity slowly, by slowly, a bell gradually becomes louder and louder, and closer. o Act 3: The Resolution: Every heightens so much that we are on a cliff-hanger, as we think the conflict is all over. Or so we thought! 3. Characters Main character: Luke (who ‘medically’ suffers from nightmares and serve night terrors.) The black figure: who terriozes the main character. 4. Film Treatment Luke goes to a therapy session with a doctor discussing his nightmares that he suffers from and the noises and shadows he witnesses during the night. This leads to the conclusion of the doctor saying they are only dreams and are not truly real, however Luke on the other hand thinks otherwise.
