Planning: Developing ideas

Planning ideas - Developing ideas

My idea-
There is a young disturbed female character who is being kept at a clinic due to her mental and suicidal state that developed as she was mistreated by someone who is unknown to the audience, She has just given birth she is planning to run away with her baby in order to kill the baby and herself as she personally believes that it will help her and her kid to stay away from the dangers that are soon to come, she makes this evident to the audience by the quotes she says to her kid such as 'they will find you' 'they are coming for us' 'you need to be quiet'

Title - 'Lost'

Subgenre - Psychological horror

Characters - female victim who is the protagonist/ nurses/ baby

Narrative structure- Todorov ( Beginning, middle and end) the end will have a twist as the audience wont be able to know what happens at the end they would just assume that she kills herself and the baby. I plan to end the narrative with a suspension so that It will leave the audience thinking.
