The characters in the final version of the film

Oringinally we were going to have  3 main characters in our short film:
Jade
Emily
Ashley

But after filming Ashelys story, we decided that the quailty of film that we were able to get wasn't good enough to have for the final film, so we haven't used that. this turned out well anyway because with the third story we would have gone way over the time limits.

so now we just focus on Enily and Jade and thier background stories. as i have mentioned, emily has found out that she is pregnant with her boyfriend stan, who doesn't take the news very well and he wants her to get rid of the baby. wheras Jade goes home to find her parents arguing about the fact that they don't like that she has turned out to be gay, her father says that he wants to kick her out because of her sexuality and this makes Jade very upset and she turns to self harm.

Emily used to live near Jade and they were able to spend a lot of time together, but in the film, emily has moved away and so they don't get to see eachother very often. They spend the day together, but we only see a small part of thier time together, when Jade says how much she misses her friend, this suggests that something might be wrong, but neither of them say what thier lives are really like at the moment.

They depart and that is when we show what thier lives are really like. we show Jade's first, as she is the last person we see leaving, and so we follow on from her.

we have put a few titles in the film which just say simple things to the audience, such as "are you really okay?" and "happiness doesn't last for long" these just give the audience something to think about whilst they are watching the film, they might answer the wusetion in thier head and wonder if they are hiding thier feelings from anyone.
