Plan Changes

Our initial idea had to be changed due to Father Sheeran letting us down at last minute saying he could no longer become the role. This resulted in a major set back for the team and we had to find a way to not change our storyline completely and not waste the shots we have already got from Charlotte. We decided we would keep the idea but show her father is religious in another way; also we figured we would find a random person to be seen looking at her so that it kept mystery to how/who murdered her rather than giving it away completely. 


We use a zoom into the house, from the outside into the window. Then a shot-reverse-shot between Addison (Charlotte Batey) and her new found mother (Marie Stokes) where Addison asks to stay out for the night. After this we use two point of view shots showing her saying goodbye to her siblings played by Ellie Stokes (6) and Ruby Stokes (3): the children would question where the father is also. Addison would be shown leaving the house where a horizontal track would follow her down the street editing into a dissolve as previously agreed. Rather than her standing around counting money a exchange will be made from somebody within a car handing her the money to let the audience see what has happened rather than them having to solve it themselves as previously they could have interpreted it wrong and the story would then confuse them. During the exchange of money through a car window Alex Farrell (the customer) will drive away and a figure will be shown standing over the road watching Addison who walks away. This is where the grab would occur and Charlotte would still shout father yet is it a mystery as to why because audience are unsure of whether or not her father did grab her, or if it was the strange peeping man played by Daniel Lindsay. 


The new actors/actress' were found at short notice who happily stepped into help due to them understanding the pressure and the struggle.

The story progression would also change due to our opening now. Once the officers arrive after the jogger finds the body, we would have the officers searching for the murderer as DNA evidence would be found upon her body. This proves time consuming for the offficers due to the various amounts of customers she has been with that night. The question of her being a harlot is now touched upon within the plot as the parents become aware of her nightly activities; keeping her father out of suspicion as he appears shocked and distraught by hearing the news. The officers believe that her murderer would be one of the people she spent the night with thus they interrogate all of them.
