On reflections from our original plan we did come across some difficulties. Firstly we was going to use 'Safe From Harm' by Massive Attack but due to copyright infringement laws we could not so we decided to compose our own music to fit stylistically to the film atmospherically and ambient and also synchronous to key points in the opening. Our secound obstacle was finding the right actress as we did have a lead actress for the role of our protagonist girl but due to difficulty with times and dates we could not film with this actress at Holkham beach. To solve this we got another actress with more flexible time to come film at the beach with us and this turned out to be a success. One part that we had planned is for our lead actress to walk slowly into the sea as a ambiguous ending in which we would have created suspense due to the audience not knowing if she is going to commit suicide or not but due to the weather being close to 0 degrees we felt it was not neccessary to so we did not take shots of her in the water.
We referenced other films within our film. Most notable is 'Leon' as we took a lot of inspiration from the scene in which Matilda's family is killed in their flat. We also referenced scenes from 'Trainspotting' with the use of drugs, especially heroin.

Script:
Boyfriend: [Annoyed] What d'ya want me down 'ere for then?
Alice: [Desperate] I can't do it.
Boyfriend: [Confused, angry] Do what?
Alice: [Begginning to cry] You, the drugs, everything.
Boyfriend: [laughs nervously] Don't be so stupid-
Alice: [Stubborn but still sad] No! It was only meant to be one time and now look at us, look at me. It's got to end...
Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill 2' uses the same concept of a voice-over over a black shot. This draws focus on the diagetic sound rather than the mise en scene or action. It also means the voices have a lot of mystery behind them as we can not see who is talking or where they are. This is a convention of the genre as mystery and incognito disguises are used a lot in thriller films. Such as 'Leon' when we do not see all of Leons face but extreme close ups of the glass of milk, his dark glasses ect.
