Initial Proposal ( Barbara's Copy)

Opening Shots:

The audiences would be introduced to a marriage scene whereby Prince and Yana are getting married; here, I would like to us to use fast camera movement as well as the sound ( non-diagetic) it would help build the tension just as we want it. I strongly think that the technique of speeding the pace of camera shots would increase the focus of the audience.

Scene A

1st shots: long shot from one corner of the room, alongside slow non-diagetic music; after a few seconds we get quick/fast shot zooming into the faces of Yana, Prince, Mr. Mosedale, The Priest , Me and the ring. I think this would make it a significant point as it would be recommending the audiences to focus on these faces and object as it would be the main focus (stars) of the soap.

2nd shots: close up on me looking furious, reaching out to Prince's shoulder. I then drag him to a seperate room( here there would be a dialogue). Prince would also not be very happy with my interuption of the wedding. There should also be a mid shot of Prince expressing his feeling towards Yana. But on the other hand, I would be still a furious as ever trying to convince him not to grt married to Yana. The camera shot move in awkward ways a in switching from my face to Prince's. This could be interpreted in various ways; it would add to the fact that there is a misunderstanding. And the camera moving awkwardly would add effects to it and would the audiences involved more. Just at the end of this shot, i think it would be useful if we could have a close up of Prince breaking down followed by a long shot of him exiting the room.

3rd shot: in the other room where the wedding was meant to take place, we should have shot of Yana playing with the ring then a shot where we could have Mr. Mosedale( Yana's Dad) moving towards her and trying to comfort Yana.(a dialogue here) Then a close up of Yana's face then gradually pans into her eyes. The whole movement of the camera on Yana's face keeps the viewers aware of her pain/embarrassment

After a few moments, we hear a sound of a plate cracking then the camera quickly moves to the crack of the plate; this could also be signifying that their planned marriage has turned into failure or in other words was not meant to be.

End of Scene A: We find a way where we could use the camera to put the plate together. I strongly thimk that using this sort of technique is extreamly important and significant as the next scene will be a happy family having lunch. This could be identified as some sort of justaposing.

Scene B: Introduction to the Asian family and Traumatised Girl

In this scene, we will be featuring an asian family sitting round a table having a fairly peaceful lunch. This family would be having a family bonding/discussion moment when all od a sudden, their daughter recieves a text which is blank. This text automatically changes the facial expression of this young girl as questions are being raised in her head. We then have a close up of the text then slowlt pans out to the girls face imforming the audiences of her feelings which is being communicated via her facial expression. Furthermore, this is however likely to keep the audiences wanting to know more and keeping them hooked to the soap as they would like to know what is happening.


Attached Shot to this scene: Introduction to the girl who gets run over by the van.

A girl walking up the road with music in her ears, dancing and then all of a sudden tumbles over and end up lying in the road. W e then have a long shot of the van in a distance then quickly pans inside the driver's seat, close up of the driver being distructeed by a text. As the driver is driving at full speed he doesn't realise that someone is on the floor. We then have quick close ups of the girl, then the tyres and then the reaction of the driver's face. There should be no sound at this moment apart from the screeching tyres.

Final shot in scene B: A mid shot of the girls head very close to the tyres, this would make it very dramatic as it covers the conventions of realism. (A couple of seconds intervals between this and the blackout)
After,there would be a blackout.

Here, questions would tend to rise in the head of audiences as it is not very clearly communicated if the girl was run over or not.

Closing Scene: A letter from the NHS has been sent to the asian family regarding their daughter, from this letter, it is informing them that she has been diagnosed with brain tumour. The girl does not get that chance to open the letter as her mum recieves the letter.
The woman then had to break this news to her daughter and found this very difficult. This scene create an intense atmosphere at a broad range of feelings are brought out.
The scene then ends with the woman finally about to break the news but does not quite do it.
This is bound make the audience want more and keep them entertained.
