Planning - the treatment of whole film

Treatment of our whole film
We have chosen to do a psychological thriller based on a teenage girl suffering from schizophrenia. She is very troubled and has been through alot over the fast couple of years, she has been faced with many difficult situations through her life. She has had a bad past, growing up and mixing with the wrong group of people. she has resorted to drinking and smoking over the years as a result of her past abuse. She is a very loney character. One morning she wakes up with bruises on her body but has no idea where they came from. As the film progresses she recieves a variety of threatening letters and more strange injuries. This leads her to a loss in confidence and is unable to trust the people around her as she believes someone is out to get her. Towards the end of the film we discover that she has a split personality and is infact self harming. The entire film is based upon how she stuggles to overcome her addiction and the consequences it leaves her such as: being excluded from her 16th for for irresponsible behaviour and she is then put on a warning at her work place for being unfit for work (drunk). But at her work place she forms a close freindship with the receptionist,, stacey who helps her come of the drugs and limit the amount of drinking. In the end we see her 2 years later recieving her A level certificates, working at a youth charity and still close with stacey.
