Possible Limitations and Constraints
- Not being able to keep the cameras overnight means we will have to figure out ideal dates and times which will suit all of us. If one of us cannot make it, then filming would most likely be cancelled which would hold us back.
- The majority of the opening will be in Beth's room, so three people maneouvering around may be difficult.
- We are most likely not going to be using a tri-pod as there is not much space and we have not contemplated on tracking shots, so we will have to hold the camera steadily ourselves.
Our Initial film idea:
Daniel is Beth's ex-boyfriend who is now with Anika. Beth is distraught and her deep emotions are shown in the opening to the point where she would seem insane.
1) Credits roll with pictures in black and white of Daniel and Beth in happier times, then fade into pictures of Anika and Daniel in colour, where black and white represents the past and colour the present.

(2) Beth bumps into Anika on the road and they seem to be friendly. Anika has recently started dating Beth's ex-boyfriend and is asking her how she feels about it. Beth seems to be fine and understanding.
(3) A door shuts, Beth is seen in her bedroom, crying and angry, surrounded by ripped/scratched photos. She rings her best friend Licia for comfort and support.
(4) Licia is angered by Daniel's betrayal, but can she sit back and ignore it?
Unfortunately...
Daniel left due to personal reasons so he was replaced by Beth's real boyfriend George, and we had to drastically adapt our idea to ...
(1) We see Beth crying in her room. There are photos of her and her ex in her room.
(3) There are flashbacks of her and George in a happy relationship.
(4) She rips down the photos angrily, makes a 'potion' and runs out of her room with it. What is she planning?

Music
By initially having Daniel, who was very familiar with macs in our group, we thought we could produce our own music to go with our film. However, since his departure, Beth had a go at making her own music but we had to settle for a copywright free track as we were running out of time. (The music soundtrack is from a YouTube user who claims that the music is free for anyone to use.)
For the track we used Nitruzz - Strangers (R&B Instrumental).
