1) The focus of the film is to show what could happen in any situation whilt going on a camping trip, alone without parents and the consquences of what could happen, also not knowing the truth about someone close to you and finding out in a very unexpected way.

2) The main message of the film is never to go out in the middle of nowhere unless you tell a responsible adult the exactly place and make sure it is safe before you travel there, making sure that someone other than you are aware of your whereabouts.

3) There will be two people within this short film. We will both play ourselves Sarah and I. Within this short film, Sarah's character has a split personality, so every now and then she start to change to show her other side - the side where she hates me (Grace) however i am unaware of this throughout the film.

Sarah is also the one who is more adventurous and wants to go and explore places, bossing Grace about. Whereas I am the more sensible one, who didn’t really want to go on this trip in the first place, Sarah dominates me and therefore I agree on the trip where bad things occur and I never make it home - (we want the audience to be thinking this).

4) There is a structure within this short film; it has a beginning, middle and an end. The beginning is at Sarah’s house setting of for the journey - setting the characters (here we also go to the petrol station where Sarah's mixed personality first comes out to the audience - a very important part of our production!)

The middle is arriving at the campsite, where we settling in and set the scene (mise-en-scene) of our short film for where the main part and ending is going to take place.

Then the end is where Sarah is all alone and the camera falls to the floor, this is the part where confusion will set in for the audience... what has happened and where is Grace?

Was Sarah the murder?

We want to leave it as a cliff-hanger, however not totally confusing the audience as we do want them to fully enjoy it.

5) I think we can achieve our ideas for our short film as it is possible to work out what we need to do and bring with us each time we film, also seeing as the areas of filming are close to us both and very accessible to both of us we will be able to reach them easily when we need too.

I believe that only working in a pair is a good idea for us also as the work load can be spread easily and we can contact each other if we ever need help.
