Group Narrative

My group and I came up with a narrative consisting of bullet points to outline the overall story.

Synopsis:

16 year old Sydney is a foster child, she gets kidnapped which evokes the voices within her head to tell her to do things her mind also starts to play trick on her and starts to transform characters within the trailer into demons . However, Sydney is suffering with trauma however this starts to make her make irrational decisions and makes her start to believe that everyone is against her. When really its just her mind playing tricks on her. The trailer uncovers the events of her mind as well as reality but Will cause the audience to feel some confusion as to whether there viewing events from Sydney's point of view or whether its from their own...
