Original Film Idea- Individual (Visions)


The reasoning behind the title ‘Visions’ is that the film follows a schizophrenic patient, whom happens to see and hear things which is because of his medical illness, or is it? This psychological horror would consist of plenty of twists and turns to keep the audience questioning.
To introduce the film I would show the schizophrenic patient in a mental hospital being forced into the clinic, with the patient typically trying to fight off the doctors and denying any illness. I would then follow the tradition of the horror genre by going back in time, to the equilibrium to give the audience a view of the protagonist’s life and the plot of the story. It would follow his everyday life, but then he starts to realise usual things taking place day by day, getting gradually worse leading to him having to take action.
After a visit at the doctors, the examiner recommends he is to do a video diary/blog. Moreover, he takes the advice and sets up multiple cameras. Whilst following through the close up cameras of his house, the audience can start to see through the schizophrenic’s eyes, with his visions coming to life. The visions become so severe, he is rushed to the hospital, and only to find out he is going to be sectioned.
This brings us back to the introductory scene, but this time with a scene during the same time with the family looking back at the video diaries, to discover he hasn’t got a mental illness but the visions are from an unknown source. But as the schizophrenic patient doesn’t know and is convinced he has a mental disorder, because he never had the chance to watch them back or send them to the doctor for analysis.
