We came up with many ideas for our film and went through so many ideas and inspirations until we finally made a decision. Because of our film company being known for the production of “Love = pie r 2” as a romantic comedy we decided to create something with a similar genre.
We first decided on a plain and simple romantic film, about a girl who arrives in London as a tourist and visits emotional places that trigger flash backs of her and her ex visiting the same iconic places. The film didn’t really have much meaning and story so we escalated our genre to a romantic thriller and finally used our inspirations to come up with an initial idea.
The film begins with the female protagonist “Cécile” who is schizophrenic, arriving in London at a train station wearing dull and simple clothes with no makeup. This will foreshadow a negative emotion throughout her holiday. We then see her from an over shoulder view; looking at another girl being greeted by her boyfriend. This puts “Cécile” in an upsetting state. The camera then tracks her while she walks out the station and into a taxi. The taxi then drops her off at central London and she walks past a bridge and past the London eye. We cut to her having another flashback of them in the London eye together. The camera then tracks her walking nervously away from the London eye like she couldn’t handle it. She then stops to take a picture of Big Ben to re assure herself. As soon as she takes the picture she has another flashback of them taking pictures of themselves including Big Ben. We then cut to a mid shot of her in a cafe. As she sits she starts to get nervous and as she picks up the menu, a flash back is triggered of her boyfriend sitting in the same place. The flash back is in black and white like the others. After this happens she stands up, grabs her coat and leaves. We then see her walking in a grave yard in a hand held camera, fast. As she stops next to a grave we have a shot of her from far like another camera is spying on her behind a bush. We then have a long shot of her dropping a red rose which then turns into a knife as it hits the grave. She starts to laugh then cry, admitting that she has lost it and finally accepting what she is.
