Module 2 Proposal Presentaion Harvey Elvins

Harvey Elvins proposes making a short live-action movie about paranoia. The movie will explore the theme of paranoia and its effects on someone's life by showing the decline of a paranoid person's sanity from start to finish. Elvins was inspired by a scene from Halloween 2018 and the Marvel show Moon Knight that both depict characters struggling with paranoia. Research on paranoia and a real life case study of someone with Paranoid Personality Disorder will help inform the movie's portrayal of increasing paranoia.

Presentation title 20XX 2


Inspirations
For this project, I was inspired to explore paranoia by 2 things. My second inspiration is from the Marvel Disney Plus show ‘Moon Knight’.

The first Is this scene from the movie Halloween 2018: in the show we see that Steven Grant has multiple personalities that, at the start, he doesn’t know about
but know about strange things that happen to him such as blacking out and waking up in a different
place.

This made Steven quite paranoid as he cant trust his own body when he sleeps so he chains himself to
his bed, pours sand around his apartment to track his footsteps and does his best to stay awake.

The scene shows Laurie Strode as she watches Michael's bus leave but has a bit of a break
down and we see what looks like Michael Myers approach her however he is not actually
there.

My Goal

Decline of sanity
So my goal for this short movie will be to
show someone who is paranoid and show
their decline of their sanity from start to
finish.
