Our media text's narrative revolves around a unnamed man trying to save a unnamed woman from dying however later in the narrative it is revealed that the woman is actually a patient in a mental asylum and the man and his whole world is a concoction stemming from her mind. Due to this plot twist I thought it would be beneficial to introduce Easter eggs that hint towards the plot twist throughout the trailer.
I wanted something short and right to the point. I ultimately opted to go with the phrase 'IT'S NOT REAL'. Due to our lack of a budget we had to use Photoshop to create a fake newspaper front page with the phrase on it. I also spray painted the phrase on a collection of posters and placed it on a wall as the unnamed man ran past. With this the easter egg has two roles; one, to inform the protagonist of the narrative's destination and secondly, it breaks the fourthwall and talks directly to the audience by doing this I intended to reinvent the world famous Greek tragedies that Shakespeare also produced were the audience knows the inevitable demise of the character but is only there to look on and see the journey the narrative takes to get there.
