Slight Change...

Over the past few days I have been thinking more about my script and idea as a whole and while I still want to keep the story line the same, I have decided to make a few changes to the script.

Whats changing:

  • Instead of having 6 girls, I have decided to only have 4, simply to make it easier to film and also so that the girls will get more time on screen so that the audience can connect with them more.
  • I have also decided that the girls will not be telling their story to a psychiatrist anymore, instead, one will be on the phone to her best friend, confiding her story to her, one will be writing secretly in her diary because she is embarrassed, and the other will be talking face to face with her friend. I feel that this makes the story of the girls more personal and also real, because most people would tell the ones they love and trust about something horrible that's happened to them. I think this makes the situation more realistic. 
  • Also, although it is not included in the script, I have decided not to go with the unoriginal idea of having a flashback in black and white, instead the sound will be echoed and the colour will just be duller than that of the present day.
Whats staying the same:

  • The girls will still be voicing their similar story at different times, they will each just get more lines than before. 
  • The flashbacks of the attack will still happen on a road at night time, and there will still be eerie mood music playing in the background of these, to add to the genre of psychological thriller. 
  • The lines are pretty much the same with the same context, they have only been slightly altered.
  • The title is still 'Avenue 62' and it remains the focus of the film
  • The overall main character will only be shown in the last few seconds, as a sort of setup for the rest of the film.
