The storyline of Antidote follows a 15 year old girl called Alex. Alex feels isolated and starts to take an unknown drug which at first relieved her anxiety but the medication soon starts to have strange effects. Alex begins to see and hear a familiar face. The familiar face she sees is actually a dead relative of hers so seeing her dead cousin is all too much for Alex. Unknown to the audience in the opening of the film, these sightings aren't actually hallucinations - they are real, but she only sees her cousin when taking one particular brand of pills.
Alex is already taking Speed and LSD regularly, so both of these combined with her medication isn't good as she develops sleep problems, paranoia and hallucinations. The film opening follows conventions of a psychological thriller such as an unstable character through scenes of emotion and paranoia. The film also uses non diegetic music to emphasize mood and feeling and camera shots such as medium close ups and close ups to capture the emotion of Alex.
The film is a target audience of 15, and we are considering what we are showing. We are showing drug use, but not in a good way so we are not promoting the use of drugs.
