CHANGE OF PLAN!!

Tuesday 1st feb 2022

We have changed her plan

- Today we had another meeting with Tom and Adam to brainstorm more of our idea. We all had a conversation wondering if our idea would be exciting to watch and film. At the start of the lesson we didn't have many more ideas but as soon as we were put in a room together to brainstorm we managed to come up with a very good concept. Tom had mentioned when he was talking to us that our sequence should have a 'punch' at the end which makes the audience remember our title sequence. He also mentioned that the Netflix series You season 3 could be good inspiration to make our sequence exciting. 

- Mia and Doug hadn't watched series 3 of You so I showed them the trailer. They both really liked the way that it seemed scary however it wasn't stereotypically 'thriller'. They also liked the concept between a toxic marriage and the idea that you would "kill for your partner". We then began thinking how this could influence our already planned out sequence. I thought that we could flip the character if a man following a girl to the women following her husband around. We thought it would be effective to keep our original location in Shere as we can can still use the location of the pub, cafe and bridge. 

- Another positive about changing our idea is that we will have a larger cast to find so we can have auditions, we have more locations so it is more interesting for the audience to watch and it will be exciting to film and watch.

Brainstorm of our idea

1. It will begin in a sitting food of a families house. The wife is sitting on the sofa with her husband and son watching tv. The husband then gets up saying he's going to "go for a drink" at a pub leaving her wife questioning who he is going to see.

2. The scene will now be set in a pub. You will see two close up shots. One of the man drinking and one of a women drinking. The audience will expect that its the husband and wife. When the shot cuts to a mid shot you see the husband drinking with another women. Then a blonde haired lady crosses the frame of the shot which implicates to the audience that its the wife. The husband doesn't notice her.

3. The lady sitting at the bar will then look over her shoulder to the lady and the shot will cut to another location (the lady will be in the same place so the edit will seem effortless.) You get a quick scene showing the lady being killed.

4. The scene changes to be a birds eye view shot of the husband and wife lying in bed. The husband is asleep but the wife is awake, lying on her back and looking up at the ceiling. She is contemplating how she is going to stop her husband from cheating.

5. The next scene will be set in a cafe. The shot is filmed through a window of a cafe. You see the husband buying a drink for another lady. He is passing her a coffee as they are standing at the counter. The shot than pans around until it reaches a mirror in the cafe. In the reflection you see the back of the wife and then she turns around. She is holding her son in her arms.

7. The camera then cuts to a warm lit Childs bedroom. You see the husband holding the child and the wife it stroking his head. It's the last moment you see the family all together in the sequence before the ending.

8. The next scene is set on a wall with trees in the background. The wife is sitting smoking a cigarette contemplating her life with her husband. The light is grey and you can see the smoke float up in the air. This scene won't last for too long but it breaks up the moment of chaos with calmness before the ending.

9. The last scene is set in the hallway of the couples house. The husband walks through the door and the son walks into the bottom right side of the frame. The son says "mum" as you see the sons scared face. The son backs away. Behind the husband you see the wife holding a bat. As the bat goes infront of the camera (when she is swinging it) the title comes up.
