Final Ideas

We've changed the story a bit since before Christmas as we felt our initial idea was too final and was too much like a whole story in 2 minutes with a beginning, middle and end. Instead of having our main character walk into the sea, we are going to use the same setting for two different time periods. The first time period will be in the present with the main character on the beach, clearly confused as to why she's there. The second will be made up of flashbacks leading up to why she is at the beach. We're planning on using two different colours when editing to show the difference in both time and mood, much like Memento. We don't want to give too much away with the flashbacks so we're going to edit them to make them rapid cuts which imply that the main character has killed her friend.
The flashbacks are going to be split into two costumes for our main character, one for happier times (colourful, bright clothes and comfortable) and then dark clothes for the shots where she kills her friend which mirror her mood. In the present day setting she will be wearing greys and whites and less clothing to show her blank state of mind and to show how she is feeling uncomfortable in contrast to those happy times.
