Storyline

Our opening sequence begins with a young couple walking down a road towards the boy's car, we see them getting into the car, which is white, having colour connotations of innocence. Once inside the car, the couple are happy and are about to begin their journey home from their day out. The radio is turned on and a popular christmas song comes on which the couple clearly both love- as they are looking at each other, we 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 have many flashbacks provoking her emotions to spiral. She sees the times when perhaps when she was more happy, spending quality time with her partner who sadly passed away.

Were we to create the rest of the film, it would simply begin by following the female protagonist's every day life, as it had returned to a state of equilibrium. However, every time that christmas came around, and the song from the crash was heard something terrible would happen. As the film went on, it would become clearer and clearer that what was happening was not such a horrible coincidence as was at first thought, but rather the devastating plan of an evil antagonist.
