PLANNING: 3 narrative ideas
Narrative 1.
A group of friends go on a trip to the beach at the start of their summer holidays (perhaps before university starts?), travel down together in one/multiple of the friend's cars.
The narrative follows the story of two individuals in the group (a boy and a girl) who form a closer relationship due to the trip. Audience sees the progression of their relationship throughout the video. The studio scene would be performed by the two protagonists, shows their emotion and focuses the narrative on those two in particular. Have a scene/shot where the protagonists are messing around with suncream on the beach - parallel with the face paints in the studio.
Representations: Gender (boy/girl), Location (beach/studio)
Narrative 2.
Starts at a funeral, person 1 shown looking sad. Flashbacks of person 1 and person 2 travelling and having a good time in summer. (at beach etc.) This causes there audience to presume that it is person 2 that has died. But, during the flashback/memory clips person 1 and 2 meet another person (3), the group of three become really close, and the flashbacks feature all three of them. Cuts back to the funeral setting and person 2 walks in and comforts person 1, meaning that it is actually person 3 that has died.
Representations: Gender, or social class (depends on person 3's character), Location (Church/Beach)
Narrative 3.
Follows the lives of two people - a woman with a prestige job, and a man with a more average job (goes against gender stereotypes), they're from different backgrounds. They each go out to get lunch every day, and pass each other every day but never notice each other. One day they are both running late and rushing, then bump into each other - woman knocks man's food then offers to pay for it. From then on have lunch together every day.
