TRANSGESSION : Double page spread

Our film idea is about a group of teenagers who hangout everyday on an abandoned old rooftop. However one day it all changes and their casual chilling sessions are no longer 'chill' but in fact 'chilly'.  The group of teenagers decide to play a game of spin the bottle which changes everything they've ever known. The aim of the game is for the bottle to land on someone and that person gets one hour to change their life, whether that be going back in time or going into the future. Unfortunately the first spin of the bottle lands on the mentally-ill boy Jason ,who decides to take Grace on his adventure with him. The end result of this is that Jason ends up killing Grace with his baseball bat and the rest of the teenagers eventually find out. The groups aim is to find out why he did it and to try and cover up her death from the police.

'Don't trust a pretty face'

This is one of the most significant quotes of the film as 'pretty' is a term usually used for females. However it is not Grace that can not be trusted it is Jason. The use of the word pretty will make the audience think that it is Grace that will cause the drama in the film as she is the only female figure on the front cover of the film poster. I think the use of this quote will create a big impact on the viewers as they will be shocked to see that Jason is in fact the 'pretty face' which changes their perception on males. This quote may have also thrown off the audiences view towards the movie as they  may have already predicted the story line.

'Not everything is as it seems'

This quote is significant as it contrasts well with our movie. By looking at the film poster of the teenagers the audience will view them as innocent teenagers due to their friendly faces and code of conduct. However 'not everything is at it seems' as each one of them have a deep dark secret from the past that will eventually be revealed in due course throughout the movie. This contrasts with the film title 'TRANSGESSION' and this means an act that goes against a law, rule or code of conduct.

Main characters

Jason is the main male character who is a mentally disturbed boy. His past experiences in life have made him into the disgusting, disturbed teenage boy that he currently is now. His man aim in life is to gain power and the attention of others. If he lacks any of these two traits he begins to act crazy and his mind begins blurred making him unable to differentiate reality from things that are in his imagination. This causes he to make irrational decisions that affect the other in his friendship group.

Grace is the main female character of the group , who everyone assumes is the 'pretty face'. She is viewed by others as the pretty girl in the group who is vulnerable and innocent. This is portrayed in the movie when she deicides to walk into a dark , gloomy forest with Jason without any hesitation.
