Genre Change

First of all, we (Me, Emily, Kayleigh and Blessing) decided to do a romance/drama type of opening. we then thought it would be that little bit more harder to construct. Whereas Emily was the main character, we thought it would be hard for her to burst into tears; and she thought the same. So we decided to change it into a Rom-Com.

Here are our original ideas for what we were going to be doing initially:

Media opening plans

Casting:

·      Andrew – Billy (Emily's boyfriend)

·      Isabelle – Emily

Plot:

·      Emily and Billy argue in the kitchen about Billy always working/never home, doesn’t pay Emily much attention because he’s always too focused on work – late for an anniversary dinner.

·      He says something wrong.

·      She slaps him, and he walks out after she runs after him, apologising. Emily collapses by the door in tears.

·      Flash backs begin to their first kiss.

Setting:

·      Emily’s kitchen

·      Emily’s back garden/ maybe Gillingham Park.

Costumes:

·      Billy:

-       Slap scene; work uniform (shirt, tie, trousers)

-       Date scene; Causal clothes

·      Emily:

-       Slap scene; formal clothing

-       Date scene; Casual clothes
