Synopsis of "The daydream"
Meet Demi who has fought schizophrenia for the majority of her growing years to achieve the title of a hard working Secretary of Defence (USA). She seems to have a prosperous life ahead of her, Living the "American Dream", She has all she can ask for... a happy marriage, a snug home and a stable job. What could go wrong?
One day she dozes into a world of her own, the unconscious state of mind seems to become her reality. Memories from the past which she has long forgotten start to resurface as she is reunited with the egotistic Brooke.
But will Demi let her past (and Brooke) determine her future?

Preliminary Exercise
As part of my media coursework i must complete a preliminary continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character. These two characteers exchange a couple of lines of dialogue. I will demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree rule.
From the scenario i have been given, i first analysed the two characters. (how they might present themselves or interact with each other)
It occured to me that as it is a daydream anything is possible and so i began to think outside the box. I decided that actually... These two characters could very much be the same person. From doin this i believe that both as an individual and as a group it allows people to experiment and play around a bit more.
My aim of the sequence is to allow a 'normal everyday person' to perhaps have an insight of how a schezophrenic person copes and deals with thier problems.
Media, especially film is a strong source for advertisement i would use this as a tool to highlight the abnormalities or disabilities between individuals.
