New Storyline

As there have been changes to our ideas and filming locations we have been required to simplify and adapt our old storyline and essentially create a new storyline. We are also required to plot the basic storyline for the rest of the film. So, here they are..


Opening Sequence:
Our new story begins with a young couple in a car. The couple are talking and consistently turn to look at each other, through the windscreen we then see a car coming towards them from the opposite direction. The car gets closer and closer until we all can see are the headlights. The lights are becoming so big that that it fades to a white screen, together with the sound effects the audience know that there has been a crash. The white screen fades into a hospital scene, where we see the protagonist gaining consciousness, at the same time we see the female being pushed down a long corridor on a bed. She then closes her eyes and the scene fades to a blackout implying the idea that perhaps the female has simply fallen asleep or perhaps has fainted or even slipped into a coma. We then begin a section of montage editing, where we see the female looking through photographs of the past times that her and her lost love spent together and we see many flashbacks provoking her emotions to spiral which is reflected in the angles and effects in some of the flashbacks. She sees the times when perhaps when she was more happy, spending quality time with her partner who sadly passed away.



Main Storyline:
After the opening sequence, we see the investigation of the crash but the approaching car drove away and all they know about it was that it was red. The film will follow Lily's emotional journey and life will appear to get better and better as time goes by and the memories fade. Throughout the film strange things keep happening to her whilst in the presence of men or boys. Lily also becomes extremely wary of being in cars as it brings back memories of the tragedy of her boyfriend's death and will only go in a car in the day time. The period of mourning passes and as if by unusual coincidence there is a repeat of the crash with a red car but with Lily's best friend and her lover. Nobody thinks of it as anything but a coincidence and it is treated as a separate matter. Lily then becomes obsessed with the matter and aggravated by the lack of official response; she therefore decides to take matters in to her own hands and find the red car and its owner. The rest of the story then follows Lily in her journey of horrific discoveries alone. Unfortunately, due to a number of false paths and clues she has led them down even her closest friends and family think that she is simply delusional or damaged from the initial crash..
