NARRATIVE OVERVIEW - for the day after
Here is our second option for our film opening, the present day scenes are shown in white, and the past is shown in blue.
o A soundbridge of rippling water coupled with a black screen fades into the opening – a young woman in her early 20s/late teens, looks out across the Thames water, relaxing.

o A soundbridge of rippling water coupled with a black screen fades into the opening – a young woman in her early 20s/late teens, looks out across the Thames water, relaxing.
o She is visibly beaten up/makeup run down her face, mangled hair.
o There are shots of the water, slowly intercut with views of her surrounding – Hungerford bridge/tower bridge.
o Maybe she has a cigarette – an cheap type, perhaps pall mall, and looks around – breathing deeply.
o Flashback to the night before - maybe '2AM' is shown in the bottom right hand corner.
o This is a New Years event at a club
o The place is packed full of people dancing, the camera passes through the bodies intermingling on a tracking shot.
o Heavy dance music is being played, people are sweating- a sense of claustrophobia that contrasts to the calm scene by the thames.
o The camera turns at some point during the chaos and reveals the woman from before on a night out. The viewer knows this is the same person because of a necklace with a pendant of either their name, or their first initial.
o His face is unclear, but a tall (slightly awkward feeling) man is obviously trying to dance with her. He kisses her neck and touches her body as she slightly recoils.
o The scene of the two is often interrupted by people pushing past, again accentuating the feeling of chaos.
o Shouting is heard from another part of the room, the camera turns and reveals her friend explaining that they are leaving.
o The main character leaves the ominous male standing by himself as she leaves to catch up with her friends.
o She bustles with her friends out of the club with a cigarette to her lips.
o Closeups of the friends as the move along the pavement away from the building, laughter and joviality is portrayed through the amicable nature of the scene, perhaps they have their arms on each others shoulders.
o Sense of blurriness as cars pass, creating lines of colour – experiment with shutter speed to get this effect?
o Main character’s phone rings
o Goes off into a sidestreet trying to hear whatever the person is saying better.
o Wide shot from back of alleyway of girl entering to hear the person on the other end of the phone
o Final shot of a dark figure entering the alleyway, the viewer is unable to see who he or she is.
Narrative - for business woman
Here is one of our options for our film opening, the present day scenes are shown in black, and the past is shown in blue.
o A soundbridge of rippling water coupled with a black screen fades into the opening – a woman in her 30s sits on the shingle, looking out across the Thames water, relaxing.
o She is perhaps eating her lunch, a salad.
o There are shots of the water, slowly intercut with views of her surrounding – Hungerford bridge/tower bridge.
o Maybe she has a cigarette – an expensive type, perhaps malboro, and looks around – breathing deeply.
o Flashback to 10 years ago.
o This is a New Years event at a club
o The place is packed full of people dancing, the camera passes through the bodies intermingling on a tracking shot.
o Heavy dance music is being played, people are sweating- a sense of claustrophobia that contrasts to the calm scene by the thames.
o The camera turns at some point during the chaos and reveals the businesswoman from before as a woman in her early 20s on a night out. The viewer knows this is the same person because of a necklace with a pendant of either their name, or their first initial.
o His face is unclear, but a tall (slightly awkward feeling) man is obviously trying to dance with her. He kisses her neck and touches her body as she slightly recoils.
o The scene of the two is often interrupted by people pushing past, again accentuating the feeling of chaos.
o Shouting is heard from another part of the room, the camera turns and reveals her friend explaining that they are leaving.
o The main character leaves the ominous male standing by himself as she leaves to catch up with her friends.
o The slam of the door as the group leaves brings the present day business woman back to reality.
o She gets up from the shingle and walks along a bridge (whether it’s Hungerford, Tower bridge or the millennium is irrelevant)
o Perhaps lifts a cigarette to her lips, which is intercut quickly with a scene of past-main character, adjoining the two.
o Younger past woman bustles with her friends out of the club with a cigarette to her lips.
o Closeups of the friends as the move along the pavement away from the building.
o Sense of blurriness as cars pass, creating lines of colour – experiment with shutter speed to get this effect?
o Main character’s phone rings
o Goes off into a sidestreet trying to hear whatever the person is saying better.
o As past clubber-girl walks into the alley, it flips back into present tense, the business woman is walking along the same street and happens to walk past exact same alleyway
o Pull focus wide shot from back of alleyway shows her tentatively looking inside, as if the place pains her.
o Same wide shot from back of alleyway of younger girl entering to hear the person on the other end of the phone
o Final shot of a dark figure entering the alleyway, unable to see who he or she is.
