A creative process is just that, a process. Therefore i was looking upon my script and wanted to give more a more elaborate view into Alexis' mind, it was too little given off, so I decided to use of my actors, Francesca Tighinean, whose picture is inserted below, to play as part of the protagonist's hallucination, accompanied by the same music used in the first scene at the abandoned house, as that too is surreal and doesn't portray a realistic scene. I asked and showed Francesca how to act in that scene, the posture and facial expressions. I can surely state that she acted just right, she gave off a dominant, scary feel, which is what I aimed for.

In order to help both me and the audience understand how the intro is going to look, I created a storyboard. It's done in a very amateur, rough way but my aim was to simply show how each scene is going to look like not to create beautiful art, therefore the characters are represented by stickmen and the drawings look childish. I enjoyed doing this storyboard, because this was the opportunity for me to think better about the script and make changes to better it. I put them on pretty pastel pink backgrounds for the aesthetic value and to practice my Photoshop skills. After creating my questionnaire for my target audience, I posted it on Reddit to see what people of that forum would respond but after trying three times, I got no responses so I decided to create my ideal target audience. For this particular message or the film and way it is filmed, my ideal target audience would be females, especially because the main character is female and no hard violence or action is involved, but I believe boys could enjoy it to, as the intro won't be 'girly' and won't target any issues that only girls have. The ideal age range would be 14-25, because teens and young adults tend to have the feeling of restraint, either from school or their parents. Any race or ethnicity is suited for this intro. Based on the psychographics chart, my audience should either be struggling poor, mainstreamer, or aspirer, as the resigned poor don't even have the intention of escaping their situation and succeeder or above them already escaped their own 'cages' and have other values.
Upon thinking about my narrative of the film opening, I decided to the church scene and add one at the end. This way the black light scene where everyone is free and dancing is only a mere fantasy or a flash-forward or Alexis', the audience shall choose between the two.
