We had an idea that we should use domestic violence in our film, as it would be more impactful on the audience. However a problem soon cropped up that the song No Light by Florence and the machine wouldn’t work, because the song is about her cheating on her partner. If the protagonist was being abused and was cheating this would tie the two together but would also overcomplicate the film which is the problem we had in the last film. Also after studying music videos we have found that they usually have very simple plotlines. So I came up with the idea that instead her betrayal is that she tells someone about the domestic abuse (i.e. a friend) and with this conversation it will explain everything clearly if it wasn’t clear before. I am more leaning towards this idea because it isn’t the typical betrayal ideas that are betrayal within a relationship, we want to push the boundaries and do something different with our theme. After deciding this something occurred to me, to show the abuse it may be easier for me to take make-up instead of costume, I am of yet not sure if I can combine the two, because if I can that would be easier so for now I may be changing what im being assessed on because I will get more marks and we have changed our idea.
