THE REST OF THE FILM
The Rest of the film
- After our opening, the film will go on to tell the story of the relationship between Jessie and Jack from the start to the end.
- Taking inspiration from '500 Days Of Summer' (2009) the elements of their relationship will be shown in a non-chronological order, broken up to show the contrast from when they were happy at the start, to when Jessie became victimised in a passionate yet dangerous relationship.
- To comply with the Social Realism Genre, the actors will continue to act in a naturalistic way, in a variety of locations such as their homes and the local places they would have gone, to make it as realistic as possible.

Social Realism Directors
Social Realism Directors
- Trainspotting- Trainspotting is one the most famous social realism films and the producer for this film was a man named Danny Boyle. Danny Boyle is an english film director, producer and screenwriter of some of the most successful films in the world, not only including trainspotting, but other social realist films such as 'Slumdog millionaire.' He is well known for his extremely accurate portrayals of hardships, including drug use and portrayals of social class.
- Fish tank- The director of the well known social realism film is Andrea Arnolds. Andrea Arnolds is a British director and former actor who won many awards for 'Fish Tank.' She shot this film entirely in the UK, and was adamant that she would shoot the film in chronological order, so that the journey of the film was in chronological order, and would make sense to the main but inexperienced actor, Katie Jarvis. Andrea would only give her a day's worth of script to study so that she could take it day by day, and this in turn, created an extremely realistic and accurate representation of South London.

Final Storyboard
Final Storyboard
As we made drastic changes to our opening, such as changing the genre, we needed to change our narrative to fit our new genre of social realism. We kept the counselling scene and ending, however changed the flashback to a domestic abuse attack, rather than a random attack in an alleyway.
This is our new and improved storyboard:

Location- Counselling Scene
Location Shot- Counselling Scene
We chose to locate the counselling scene in a house rather than an office because this way, the patient would feel more relaxed in a cosy and safe environment. This living room has a very friendly atmosphere, contrasting to the frightening topic being discussed. It also holds a false sense of safety and security, making the patient believe she is safe, when really, her worst fear is standing outside.

Location- Jessie's Home
Location Shots- Jessie's Home
We chose to locate in this house because it is a simple, typical, working/middle class family home. It seems cosy and safe, shocking the audience even further when the disturbing happenings occur in this room. As part of our genre, location shooting is a popular convention so, we chose to shoot in an actual house rather than a studio and not use any back drops or green screens
Health And Safety Concerns
Health and Safety Concerns
In order to overcome and deal with this hazard, when smashing the glass we planned to make sure Callum was back as far as possible in the corner of the room, and all the other actors stood behind a closed door as he threw it. We also made sure everyone was wearing shoes to avoid the risk of getting shards of glass in people's feet. As soon as the glass was thrown, we got a broom and swept away all visible pieces of glass, and then hoovered the whole floor to collect any remaining shards of glass which could be dangerous. This was also the last thing we filmed, so that there was less of a risk of anyone stepping on glass during the other parts of the filming.

Rose and the counsellor are sitting face to face in a small room. It is set out like a counselling room with a table and chairs, with paper, flowers, tissues and water.

Counsellor: How are you feeling?
Rose: I just want everything to be normal again.
Counsellor: Your bruises seem to be healing well.
Rose: I can’t escape it.
Counsellor: Was this the only time?
Rose: (pause) I see him everywhere I go.
BLACKOUT
Counsellor: Why don’t you take me back to the moment it happened?
Rose: (nods slowly)
Counsellor: You said you felt like he was controlling you again. That he wasn’t letting you go?
(Brief flashback to attack, then returns backs to room. Rose is breathing heavily)
Counsellor: Tell me everything.
(Flashbacks occur, vivid memory of the attack)
Stalker: Shh…don’t speak.
Flashbacks end and it returns back to the counselling room
Counsellor: (comforting) Shh, its okay. I think that’s enough for today. See you next week.
Rose forces a smile, gathers her things and walks out of the room.
She walks outside and the stalker is standing opposite her, holding on the other side of the road.

Company Name Ideas
COMPANY NAME IDEAS
We wanted the theme of our company to be linked with night and the moon, because this is mysterious and linked with our original genre of psychological horror because of its dark, scary feel, however it also links with social realism because the moon and stars light up the sky at night, showing the truth and reality, like social realism does. We brainstormed names and came up with these three main ones:
- Peril Productions
- Crescent Studios
- Lunar Productions
We decided on LUNAR PRODUCTIONS
We started to design the logo for our company, gaining inspiration from pictures like these:
