Ideas/ Narrative

For our opening, the audience will firstly see Elise playing Rose- she is the actor in our media piece. She’s going to be in a field, but almost looks as if it’s a forest. The girl’s happy smiling like there’s no tomorrow, she’s in her element freedom at last.  Their will be a variety of different shots in the opening for example: Long shots, wide shots, angle shots and close ups.

After we see Rose jumping down from the tree she has been sitting on, we see her running around, almost as if she’s dreaming. However whilst running she looks as if she trying to find something whilst exploring the beautiful nature. She’s so content and private; through facial expressions and body language we know she’s happy.

After foreshadowing the girls looking for something, we move her on in the forest, to another tree she’s standing high and reaching. After reaching we see she grabs hold of a teddy, she hugs the teddy bear holding on tight as if nothing can come between the two. The teddy bear foreshadows lots, in the rest of the story.

We then have a shot of rose running, so happy occasionally spinning around. Running because this is where she’s the happiest in her dream with her teddy bear she doesn’t want to be anywhere else. But as she’s running un-noticeably she drops the teddy and continues to run.  

After the shots in the forest, we then move on to the girl waking up- reality. The first shot we see is of rose waking up, she pushes her self up quickly as if she absolutely distraught she’s woken up she didn’t want to be disturbed at this point the camera is directly in her face for a little while everything pauses. Her dads banging on her door, she ignores this for a few seconds then yelps.

We decided to make the girl have a small dungy room, we got this idea from Harry Potter- When living with his auntie, uncle and cousin he isn’t wanted therefore he has a small room with no space to do anything. Therefore we thought this would connote her type of lifestyle to the audience, and the type of life that she leads.

This is where our story would end, however if it was too continue it would show her life, what happened before the dream she had and what happened after- why the teddy is so important to her.
