- 16. Maria THEME / CONCEPT Our theme is conflict. Our concept is guilt. We are going to show this by the husband feeling guilty of what he has done. We show this by flashbacks of the two arguing.
- 17. IDEA DEVELOPMENT In our first group meeting we put all our ideas together to come out with the idea we have now. It wasn't too difficult because we all had very similar ideas of what we wanted our opening sequence to be about.
- 18. IDEA – WHOLE FILM Married couple where wife does everything for the husband Husband shows no affection for her She gets fed up and they both argue She gets run over and put into coma He feels guilty and believes it is time to change as he realises how important she is to him.
- 19. IDEA- OPENING SEQUENCE Closeup shot of wedding rings Husband having flashback of him arguing with wife and him hitting her Door shutting Car screeching Him running shouting „no‟
- 20. 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.
- 21. Maria ENIGMA We are going to create enigma by not showing who was the one who has been run over. By both of them leaving the house we are left curious as to which one of them has been run over.

- 25. IDEA FOR LOCATIONS The idea for are locations where we would be filming is, Deborah's house in her living room, were most of the filming would taken place, but might move a bit around the house. Also we are going to film outside Westfield for the scene where the car runs over one of them takes place.
- 26. NARRATIVE We will be using non-linear narrative in are film as there will be flash-backs and flash-forward.
- 27. 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
- 28. HOW WE WILL GET THERE our parents will drop us, or we could get train or bus. There is no health & safety danger in these locations.
- 29. 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.
