Narrative

Narrative

Our finalised narrative for the film that would be created if the trailer was real would be:

- a young couple meets at university

- they carry on dating and move in together after university

- they are sure that they are happy together but don't know if they want to get married/too soon, what if something goes wrong?

- the film mainly begins 3 years down the line of their relationship - the girl is in a job that she does not enjoy whilst the man is perfectly happy in his job but spending more time at his job as a way to avoid seeing her depressed

- she begins to go slightly mad and depressed

- focusses on them trying to work through the problems

- one day it becomes too much and the boyfriend drives away and out of her life

- he has left her pregnant

- jumps 3 years - they spot each other in the street - he is engaged to another woman who is pregnant. He pretends not to see her and walks on.

In our trailer, we would only choose aspects of the whole narrative to convey. We will show a section of their relationship at the beginning to show that the relationship was once good but focus mainly on the middle few points of narrative - the turning of jobs and the beginning of the problems for the girl and their relationship. We do not want to reveal too much about the narrative otherwise the audience may feel they have seen the film just by watching the trailer and will not actually go and see the film. Therefore, the last 4 bullet points will mainly be portrayed through montage rather than focussing on what is actually happening, leaving the story for the audience to work out.
