Deciding on genre, approach and pitch.

After exploring the different genres looked at, we decided that, to do the best that we could do, we couldn't pull of an action/horror film to our best ability as we don't have the budget or equipment to do so.

So, we decided to go with the Britsh Socialism genre and that our approach would be to go with the generic conventions, and so our idea is:

A story of a young girl that is overcome by the wrong crowd and finds herself alone, on drugs, and facing pregnancy and to focus on her ups and downs along the way of getting back on the right track.

After our research we thought it would be effective to use a voice over to begin with, whilst stood on a motorway...giving the impression of suicide. We wanted to use a post-modern approach, that being that the timeline in the story is disorted and starts and finishes with the same scene.

Our opening scene is going to show an audience how our character is alone and doesn't have any idea where she is going, showing that she is nervous through a variety of close-up shots. The opening will also intoduce you to the posibilty of her pregnancy through showing the test, and to keep an audience gripped and interested will end with our character answering the door to a persistant man.
