Rough Story

There will only be one character seen - her name is Fiona Meer. The other characters are only spoken of (distantly) and that's in her recollections.

Fiona is in a mental institution. The whole story is based on her memories, her 'past'.

Introduction: The opening scene is the outside of a building (the mental institution). You’re taken inside, through the corridors, to the characters room. She is sitting on the bed blankly staring off into the distance. There will be a voice-over heard, and then the camera will zoom into the characters eye - (the transition into her memories).

Rising Action: The bulk of the story is when we're in her mind - her memories. There will be 6-8 memories that are all mixed together, seeing only flashes of each. The memories are; her finding her mother dead when she was 10, being hospitalized due to an allergic reaction to a certain flower, burring her dead dog, finding god (becoming religious), bullied, had no friends, hated writing, really good drawer and her mum hated her for the poor results she got in school - always telling her how stupid she was. She can't stop relieving those moments, that's what drove her to insanity. Her past is just a blur of those different things, she can't remember any long memories, only snippets of a few shorter ones.

The Climax: this will be when she finally over comes her past, she moves on. Her memories stop troubling her; she becomes more at ease, happy and less strange. Nurses think she is close to leaving the institute.

The twist in the story will be at the end. You will find out that the memories she has been recalling and living everyday for years aren't her memories at all. She has been living someone else’s life in her head.

This was my dot point list that i have built on and added in the rough details. I slowly build up from the basic stuff in my head, as it is apart of my thought process. However, this post was added to later with more detail, just in case you were wondering where it went. I know it was stupid not to make the separate post but to tell the truth i didn't even think about that.
