What Synopsis are we going to do?

After some group discussions and after seeing the results from our primary research surveys we have decided that we will be doing Alex's short film because the audience like his genre and loglin the best. Even though I would have liked to make my film I agree with this as it makes more sense because my film would have been hard to do as a short. 

Below is Alex's film synopsis:

Deluca

Synopsis

Deluca is a modern psychological thriller, which mostly takes place within the back streets of a small British town. The film follows a central character, Edward Stevenson, though often, in actual reality, he is called Peter Deluca. The film opens with Edward’s brutal murder of his girlfriend, Sarah. Soon after he receives a phone call from the very same girl he has just murdered. Neither Edward nor Sarah can no longer hear each other over the phone. Here Edward admits to killing Sarah, under the name Edward Stevenson. After this Edward meets with Hugo, his boyfriend who tries to convince Edward to kill Sarah. It then returns to Edward standing over Sarah’s body. Here Sarah appears to him, and whilst Edward is talking to her the body disappears. Sarah takes Edward by the hand and shows him on old home, which she calls ‘our home’. Later Edward meets up with Hugo, who asks him whether he had killed Sarah yet. Here he kills Hugo, in much the same style as he killed Sarah in the beginning. It ends with Edward standing in front of the home, admitting to the murder of Hugo, using the name Deluca.

  

Deluca is a psychological thriller, aimed for males aged 16-25 that follows many of the conventions of the popular feature length films of this genre, focusing on the mind of the central character, Edward Stevenson/Peter Deluca, who does not quite see what is real. It is similar in tone and style to films like Shutter Island. While it is a film of psychological thriller, the conventions of this genre and horror and so, to some extent has similar conventions to the horror genre, with films like The Shining, which is a slight mix between the two genres, primarily being horror, but also focusing on psychology of the characters. The film is designed to skip between reality and Edward’s ‘reality’, never really making it clear which ‘reality’ is real or even if any of them are real. This is specifically designed to confuse the audience slightly, much like Edward becomes confused by much of the story. This is done through the ‘unreliable narrator’ of Edward. It also skips through time; again, never making it clear which sequence of events is correct.
