Second idea

Planning and development: Second idea

Since the last idea our group had, I have been thinking of how it could be improved because I liked some of the ideas Dan came up with. The basic narrative for my idea that I have discussed with the group is it starts off with the protagonist in a hospital bed- we could do a close up of him if we cannot get a suitable location- with non-diagetic sound of voice overs of news reporters talking about a terrible crash with a sad, slow soundtrack playing in the background. 

We could then cut to the scene which Dan explained about the girlfriend saying how worried she is about him racing and them having an argument about it. Then it could fade out to an extreme close up of his eyes looking very concentrated at the start of the race but his eyes lose that concentration and there are flash-back voices in his head of the argument between him and his girlfriend. 

The race starts and we see him speed off around the corner. The screen goes blank and the title fades in.

Some problems we might encounter with this idea include the capturing of the dialogue between the two characters arguing- the cameras we may have to use do not have the best sound quality- along with this, the flash-back voices might be hard to make clear in the editing. Also some of the shots would need good acting for the audience to understand the narrative easily.

I have discussed this idea with the group and the feed-back was good, we agreed that the development from the first idea was good as it takes the problems from the first and solves them, however there are a couple of problems which are smaller that have been born with this new idea.
