Synopsis of our film and brain storming of names

Synopsis:

After brain storming our characters we have officially come up with a story to our film:

Telling the story
Our story is about a couple that is in love. After years of searching for her match Adrianna finds the love of her life. As for Mike after a dreadful childhood he has found Adrianna who makes him better but this doesn't mean he has recovered. They decide to get engaged, as they are so happy. Waiting for their wedding and in preparation things start to change. Mike starts to come home late and Adrianna doesn't ask in the beginning, as she truly trusts him. Meanwhile dreadful things happen where women are found dead with missing spleens. These women are found raped, torched and murdered. As these murders are extremely horrific they are shown in the news and the murderer is given a name. Every headline says Spleen has murdered another woman, Spleen the horrific woman killer, Another Spleen missing from the victim. The name Spleen has become the name for this murderer. Adriana is so frightened about this murder and while watching the news one day remembers Mike having talked about how his mother was murdered and her Spleen was missing. Confused she decides to tell him and he is frustrated with her and replies " Don't be ridiculous this has nothing to do with my mother". This is the first clue for Adriana of Mike being Spleen but yet does not realize.

While these horrific murders are going on Mike tells Adrianna to not leave the house even to go to work because he claims he is frightened for her life. Adrianna is not delighted at what he has said because he believes he has the right to come home late and sometimes not even come without an explanation. They have an argument and Adrianna decides to do some cleaning while putting clothes in the washers she finds a piece of paper in his pocket in writing " I WILL KILL YOU". This is the second clue to him being Spleen but again she does not realize and as she does not want to loss him. So she decides to not mention this as they have just had an argument. During the next few days everything starts to get better and there relationship starts to feel stable once again. Nevertheless this does not last long and there arguments begin. Spleen is always acting weird the crimes are getting worse where some bodies are even found. Their relationship is getting worse and Adriana finds more arguments and clues. The thought of him being Spleen crosses her mind but she ignores this, as she does not want to believe in him being Spleen. Instead she convinces her self he is being unfaithful that's why he is acting weird.

As a result Adrianna decides to talk to her friend Jude. Meanwhile there are suspects of whom Spleen may be and the audience is not aware that Spleen is actually Mike.
Believing Mike’s friend John is the killer. The audience is convinced that Mike is demand possessed therefore having a corrupt relationship with Adrianna and not being able to be Normal. The truth is Mike is suffering from schizophrenia having two personalities making him kill these women. He is suffering from schizophrenia because of his horrific childhood where his mother was battered and abused by his father and was found murdered with her Spleen missing. This is the symbolic reason he takes Spleens from woman and chooses woman as his victim as this is what he has seen from his father.

Adrianna is depressed, as her relationship with Mike does not seem to be getting any better but getting worse. Although it is becoming horrific nor she or Mike break up with each other as they are still in love. Mike begins to become abusive towards Adriana as well. The murders at this point have stooped and the focus is Mike and Adriana's relationship. Jude significantly worried about Adriana, as she knows everything that is happening to her. Adriana has lost everything in her life since she has meet Mike her job, dignity, life and freedom. At this point John is taken into prison as being the murderer for the woman that has died. Jude can no longer stand Adriana's position and decides to speak to Mike. Mike decides his next victim will be Jude and at this point the audience will start to understand that Mike is the actual killer (Spleen) of the Woman. The next day Jude is found dead and Adrianna is called at the death scene. Adrianna is given a note where she is asked to have a look and speak to the police is she has any idea of what this note may mean. As the police believe she has committed suicide. Adrianna looks at this note where there are unexplainable images and then her eye catches a specific writing, which she notices. It’s the note she had found in Mikes clothes while washing "I WILL KILL YOU". This is the moment she realizes everything and puts all the clues together. The police have also found out that Jude did not commit suicide as her spleen is missing. Everything becomes clear at this point, that John is not Spleen but Mike is and Mike was not demand possessed but suffering from schizophrenia.

Adrianna decides to go to the police where Mike is aware that she has realized everything he goes after her to kill her and himself. He decides this will be the ending to his story. But will Adrianna be saved? Will they both die? Will Adrianna kill him? The ending will be left with a cliffhanger.




Name of film:


Now that we have a story to our film we need to decide what our film should be called and the names we have come up with is:
  • Spleen
  • Possession
  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Beastly
  • Sealed with love
  • Double life
  • Love that cant be handled
  • The man
  • Stranger
  • Evil
  • Evidence
  • The man at Dawn

Now we can only choose one name and collectively we have decided that we will go with Possession. This is because the audience are going to believe Mike is demon possessed. I think this tittle would work because it follows the forms and conventions of a thriller. As there is mystery in the film we are creating mystery and enigma by using this tittle as the truth is not obvious but will seem obvious to the viewers when they read the tittle. Using Possession will make the audience realise that the tittle isn't as obvious as they thought after watching the film. Hence the enigma will be revealed at the end where they are aware he suffers from schizophrenia.
