Blog Post #34 - New Scene described



I planned out a scene where the audience is now aware of Bonnies condition. Where they can experience what the issue is in the short film. To do so I filmed this fridge scene. Within this, Bonnie is opening the fridge and looking for something to eat. As she's looking, she hears a voice. However, the way she reacts, it's clear she knows the voice isn't real. She is familiar with her condition and what it does to her. Once she hears the voice, she quickly runs to her room and slams the door. 

 Hiding herself in her room as she tries to quiet the voices. She is saying they aren't real repetitively. This way, once viewing the short film at around 1 minute the problem is spotted. Leaving no room for confusion to what Bonnie is going through. Throughout this scene, Bonnie remains alone in her house. Keeping Bonnie alone adds to the voices and isolation. If other people were in the house, it would be hard to depict her voices from her family or friends. 

Though Bonnie knows her condition, these situations still leave her confused as she is scared. She flees to her room since she feels she's in danger. Showing that she understands her condition but she still battles with her mind to rather they are real or not. This theme is also shown as when she hears the voice saying her name, her first response isn't to think it's in her head. She first closes the fridge and looks around to see if anyone is around. When she realizes she's alone, that's when she acknowledged it's in her mind. Her dialogue is "no, no, no, no".
