The opening so far.

Our original idea for an opening was a Sci-fi Romantic Comedy. However, after thinking this through and realising how hard and expensive this would be to achieve this we decided to change it to a war romance. This would give us an easier plot line and a more realistic budget to work on.
We decided our main characters would be named Sophie and James, theses are both old fashioned yet soft names that would again connote the feeling of love and romance. However, after a long chat we decided that Jenny would fit better than Sophie as it’s an older name and also sounds more innocent.
The main plot line of our piece was that Jenny would be sat upon a hill writing a letter to William who has recently been sent off to war. The letter is said within a voice over and allows the audience to empathise with Jenny and the sorrowful situation that she has unfortunately been placed in. Another element that we have decided to do is the fact that the whole film is in black and white; however, the audience can also see the colour red. This will connote love, yet the fear of death that she has for her lover who is in a dangerous situation. This is also shown by the rose petals that Jenny places in the letter to William. The audience then see’s her walking into town and posting the letter.
