“Hack into life”

We follow the story of a 10 years old young female (Ling Lee) who’s life depends on her mom (May) looking after her and trying to protect her from getting into dangerous situation because she is mentally disturbed she sees things which are not there sometimes she will run around in circles screaming and saying the aliens are coming. Her dad (Jairo) left after he fined out that her daughter is a mental patient. Both mother and daughter have had a rough experience after he left. One day Jairo returns to Graham’s lane (that’s where they live). He saw his daughter in such a trauma he has no choice but to call the mental hospital. Her mom disagrees strongly with him and the both start to argue see her parents fight, her condition got worst and worst and the days passed by, her mother would cry plead and pray to God to help her, but a hard decision would had to be taken as she knew sometimes to gain something you must loose something and she needed to do this for the person she loves. After seeing her daughter like this her mother was forced to send her there, that was the last time both mother and daughter saw each other.

It has been 6 years now since Ling left home and it was the time to return in a full capable young lady. Both Ling and her parents were happy but lightning struck twice. Her parents nor did the doctors knew that she still have that mental illness in her. Everyday at the stroke of midnight her inner beast rises and eating her alive inside of her again its been 2 weeks now since she came from hospital, one night her mother realised that she is still mentally impatience but doesn’t tell her husband about it in fear of loosing her again. So her May would sleep on the next room to Ling one night she tried to blend her hand in a food processor thinking her hand was a tomato but fortunately May stop this being happen and still kept a secret from Jairo on that night when May was trying to stop Ling , Ling claimed that her name was Chi. May’s sorrow days had returned. These accidents continued, one afternoon May realised that all these accidents involves one thing which is modern technology so May tried her best to keep dangerous equipment like these away from her. Ling doesn’t like her mom telling what to touch and what not to. This creates s crack between mother and daughter’s relationship. One night she got hold of her mom’s laptop and…

The antagonist is the hit woman with the website who watches over people through CCTV and hack in to peoples computers asking them if they want the person who is troubling them removed from their life and if they say yes then he goes and kills them.

The dad of the girl is the false hero who shows emotion towards the begging and then towards the end we know that he has been working with the hit woman trying to get rid of his daughter.

The film that we are making has a sub genre of a physiological thriller because it has lots of emotions and Ling with dealing with mental issues.

The audience of the film are from 15 to 25 year olds who are interested in physiological thriller with themes of gun crime mental tromer.

The film opens with a fade in the shot of our antagonist putting the gloves on, her black clock with a hood on, in her secret base. While this is happening the music is building up, suddenly the music drops and we hear a door slam. We then fade in the shot of someone on a laptop listening to laude music with their headphone we don’t see their face the camera is on their right side slowly turning on screen of the computer they are on face book suddenly a new window appears saying “do you want her dead” with a photograph of a young bubbly girl happy and wearing lots of pink. The person moves the mouse on that window and accidently clicks it the camera moves to the girl and we see it’s the same girl in the assassin’s photograph with different outlook. The whole story is in a non-liner structure we start off with disequilibrium and we flash back to the past and see the girl’s childhood and what has been happening to her when she was in the mental hospital.

This is our first treatment however we had to change the idea for our opening sequence because it was difficult to understand according too the audience. It would have been difficult to prove how we would portray the mental disabled character and fit it in the opening sequence. So will be doing a new treatment with a new idea.
