Planning: Three Inital Ideas

Initial notes made on phone:

Aimed at ages 16+ 

Themes of suicide and financial strain 

Tries to buy books for those who are struggling 

Aa meeting webpage open as well as bank statements 

Low level lighting at the end 

Casual clothing from the formal school wear

Faster, less coordinated shots 

Better USP than the other ideas

Debt collectors banging on the door 

Making obviously Value meals

Perhaps tries to pay for something at a shop and has their card declined 

Young child? Emotional appeal 

Takes place over 1/2 days or otherwise a long period with repetitive scenes of the same issues to highlight that this is a drawn out issue for the character 

Focussed on the one female teacher - females and vulnerability 

Walk into tom with one outfit, reverse & come in with other clothes

Abusive relationship 
Dull mise en scene

Council house 'Limits lie' Jamie t

Smoking, drugs?

Artistic/stylised shots of their journey to the job centre 

Walks past counselling building and lingers but carries on  

Train journey 

Lip syncing 

Alternative clothing so stands out form other passengers 

Public shooting

Gets gun out at the end - shock factor 

Music stops suddenly at the end 

Relevant to recent global activity - USP 

These were the brief notes that I made when trying to think of a few narratives that I could use to base my A level coursework on. I made these notes to document my initial ideas, and show how these manifested in a short space of time (these notes were taken over a 1 hour period).
