| This is our initial Narrative Arc from our pitch. this outlines what we basically want to do , if our project was a full scale movie. |
Here is the moodboard documenting our narrative arc for the whole movie. It follows a basic 3 act structure: Exposition (beginning), Development( middle/climax) and Recapitulation (End/Denoument).
From our pitch, we outlined that the story is centred around a group of mentally disturbed or disabled people, with two characters as our main protagonists. Originally we intended to show all 4 characters' double nature, but based on feedback from a control group, we decided it would be much more effective to focus on one character's double, then the group as a whole, rather than all 4 at the same time.
List of all points:
EXPOSITION:
RISING ACTION:
CLIMAX:
FALLING ACTION:
DENOUEMENT:

| This is our full Narrative Arc, documenting how the story should move, if this were a full scale movie. Here, we followed a simple 3 act structure, with several plot devices such as Inciting incidents, rising action, falling actions and the Denouement. From this, we can pick certain moments to include in our teaser trailer, without giving the ending/most exciting bits away. |
List of all points:
EXPOSITION:
In a deserted tunnel, four characters
with severe mental disturbances are drawn to one another, forming a group. All
of these characters have normal personalities and a murderous/dangerous alter
ego, the boundaries of which, are firm.
INCITING INCIDENT:
As time goes on, two of the characters
emerge as the leaders of said group, acts of violence are becoming more
frequent and more public. The boundaries are beginning to break within their
minds.
RISING ACTION:
One person now feels that this double
life they are leading is destroying their health, relationships and their life,
and try to leave the group. Internal conflicts rise within, and boundaries are
now permeable.
CLIMAX:
One person is killed by another member,
this is done in full exposure, as the boundaries drawn within their minds is
broken, no longer applicable to them. The eyes of society and the law order a
witch hunt to exterminate them from society.
FALLING ACTION:
The remaining members of the group try to
convince themselves that killing/murder/disobedience to normal societal rules
is the only way they can be accepted and validated. Their alter egos are now
being seen within their normal lives, inciting panic across the town.
DENOUEMENT:
The leaders are no longer able to differenciate
their alter ego from themselves, they have fallen into a state where they re
deemed monsters and freaks of society. Even more violent and destructive acts
occur until their eventual imprisonment n a mental institution and /or deaths.
