Improvements to first draft:
Narrative Idea:
We have changed our idea a little as we want to make sure that it is not prolonged and to build up suspense. Whilst our actor is walking towards the bridge we want to keeping cutting to a flashback to explain why he is in that situation rather than having the flashback when he is at the bridge. We have chosen to change it to this as we think it will make the film look better overall and whilst he is walking towards the bridge it will look like he is constantly thinking about what is wrong with his life.
Audience:
Previously we stated that our target audience will be 15-21 year olds. We have now discussed it and think that it would be better to change it to an older audience as it would be best suited to 18-23 year olds due to the reason of the suspected suicide.
Reasons for suicide:
We have a few reasons in mind that we will discuss with the class during our pitch to get feedback and their opinions. The reasons include:
*Alcohol Abuse- Alcoholic
*Illegal Drug Abuse- Youth Suicide
*Eating Disorder
*Guilt- may have seen something but wasn't able to help
*Anxiety
We have chosen these ideas because we think that they aren't highlighted enough and especially within males. We also want to create a subtle idea for the suicide attempt as we want to keep away from cliché ideas such as 'family abuse' or 'family problems at home'.
Zaneb, your case studies are detailed and now you have embedded the videos onto your blog. You could consider them in relation to your now more developed ideas, locations, camera work and so on. Representation and challenging stereotypical views is evident in the first case study, could this be interesting to explore? Research and planning is going well here. Keep your own idea simple and realistic.
