Our plan for the film had changed lots over the course of 3 weeks. We originally wanted the film to have a boy and a girl coming home from a party with the boy acting more manly and wanting to show off to the girl. This changed to two girls coming home from the party and seeing a doll everywhere they go and that they can’t escape it. We have a cyclical story so that it makes the viewer feel more engaged and into the film. It was ambitious because we didn’t know if the story would feel too repeated in a way that the audience would get bored and not enjoy it. We stuck with the cyclical storyline but we mixed up different shot types so that the beginning and the end didn’t feel the exact same. We made sure that the main part of the setting was visible so that the audience knew that the story was cyclical. The reason that we changes from a boy and a girl was because the two actors couldn't make the shoot so we had to improvise and change up to story. The editing was very fun to do because it was all of our first times doing it and I feel like we used most of the features that it offered us. Using a range of music and effects to make the film work as we intended.

Synopsis:  We start how we end with the girl or guy on the floor and we zoom out from this shot out of the girls eyes. What triggers this is the guy snapping his fingers in the girls face to get her to come back after drifting away. (Still in thought in names for the characters) Two people walking from a party a Guy and a Girl the Girl a little drunk and the Guy slightly sober. The Guy wanting to impress parents in not bing too drunk. They are talking too each other and the talks are full of giggles and laughs. They are walking to get home and the Guy want to get home quickly to impress his parents that he is on time and not drunk. They end up walking the fastest route home. Along the way home they see a doll around them at different parts of town. They don't take much notice especially the girl since she is drunk. They go through a tunnel to go home and they encounter the doll again. (Still in thought of how they encounter and or deal with the situation. We end ho we start making the film a cyclic narraitve 

Cinematic ideas:

Birds eye view shot
Using a drone for establishing shots
Voice over narrative for some back story at the start of the sequence
Only voice over at start not a lot of exposition
Low angle shot to show the object
Low key lighting
No names established
Heels for the girl to add noise and suspense
Boy: Jeans, polo and trainers
