General Idea + To do List

Our general idea is as follow - A boy is narrating . He should have a deep voice. Starts off black. We find out that he died recently in a car crash and that this story shows how the people he loved have moved on, eventually ending with his girlfriend finding a new love. When we find out that he died and a bit about his past, a series of moving images along with the titles are on screen ( similar to the layout of the opening scenes in Dear John and My Sisters Keeper.) The moving images, will include a video from when the speaker is quite young, up to his death. We only get blurred scenes of his death scene, and after we see pictures of family, friends - mourning. Monologue being spoke by a boy will be as if he is speaking to the audience - really speaking to girlfriend. Light colours/older images - edited images to be used to show that this in the past. During the beginning when black, have the sound of writing possibly? Only sounds to be used are diegetic - those which tie in with the memory being recounted.

In monologue use quotes which have meaning - look up quotes and be selective about the ones which affect me and maria personally - our target audience is going to be mainly teenage girls/women - as they would be more interested in this genre so by choosing things which affect us we will attract our audience better.
Look into home photography and videography - internet and personal. When recording also remember images must not look posed - get examples of such home imagery.
Keep language highly emotive.
Keep images and language personal - therefore more likely to engage audience on a personal and emotional level.
