IDEA DEVELOPMENT

Put all our ideas together

Made some changes according to our different
opinions
It wasn't too difficult because we all had very similar
ideas of what we wanted our opening sequence to be
about.
25. Done by:
Debbie
IDEA – WHOLE FILM
Teenage couple „fall in love‟ and start going out
Parents accept him but always find something strange about
him but don‟t know what.
Until one day the couple have a big argument about the lack
of affection he gives her
He sends her an email saying „the love‟ he thought he felt for
her has no logic and wants to break up. (teenage love)
After 2 months he has the courage to admit to her that he
broke up because he knew her parents would never accept
him and would always think he was not good for her.

Goes back on Facebook sees picture of boyfriend
with parents and has flashback (conflict)

IDEA DEVELOPMENT
At first we did not have any ideas for what our
moral message was going to be therefore made
things harder. However now we have a very clear
idea of what message we want to send out.
Moral message :
love is not love if it is not shown.
We only realise what we have after we loose it.

ENIGMA

NARRATIVE USED
We will be using:
non-linear narrative = film shown in exact same order as happened
events.
some scenes will be in chronological order
Make it clearer to the audience so don‟t get confused with order of
events.
order of these specific events need to be very clear as they are the
key of our film.
o linear narrative = mostly made of flashbacks as you may see the
event first and then go onto the explanation.
Creates enigma
Divided into three sections setup, conflict, resolution
39. Done by: Milka
THEORIES WE WILL INCLUDE
Claude Levi-Strauss - constant creation of
conflict/opposition propels narrative.(love/hate,
control/panic).
Tvzetan Todorov simply equilibrium,
disequilibrium, new equilibrium

HOW WE WILL GET THERE
Car

Cycle
•Crossing the road
•Getting robbed

you do not know

IF LOCATIONS IS ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE
I do believe that the place we would be filming is
always available, as it is one of the group members
house. As we wouldn't need to make an official
promotion to film in are location.
