Rethink Time

Right, sorry about the amount of time that has passed since my last blog post. In the small break we have had to completely re-think our film. Well now the main girl now has problems at home as her parents have split up and her mum has sunk into depression. Her mum is starting to become an alcoholic and pays no attention to how Carley may be feeling about the whole situation. Carley is still trying to carry on with her day to day life as much as possible by attending school and things like that. Even though she is trying to still have a normal life, she has become depressed and goes down the wrong path.

We ended up having to rethink the narrative because it was becoming to hard to include the postcards and still have an effective storyline. The postcards are no longer included now because of this reason. Everything else still stands but she doesn't have a boyfriend or doesn't sell her body for drugs. It is however every apparent that she doesn't have any friends or anyone to turn to when she is having problems.

Also we have decided to not have any sound over the top but simple contain the diagetic sound and dialogue. We also have some non-diagetic sound in the form voiceovers at the start of the film. The voiceovers are used to make the audience aware of the fact that Carley's parents have broken up. The diagetic sound worked more effective than we thought the music would as it makes the audience feel as if they are part of the film more, especially as the diagetic sound is very subtle.
