As a group we have been thinking of ways to adapt the first idea, one of the team members came up with an idea of how to improve it. The simple narrative for this second idea that has been discussed with the group is that it starts off with the protagonist in a hospital be - this would most likely be a close up of him if there is no location that looks suitable - with non-diegetic sounds of voice overs of news reporters talking about a crash with a sympathetic, slow soundtrack place over the top in post production.
We could then cut to the scene which Dan explained about the girlfriend saying how worried she is about him racing and them having an argument about it. Then it could fade out to an extreme close up of his eyes looking very concentrated at the start of the race but his eyes lose that concentration and there are flash-back voices in his head of the argument between him and his girlfriend.
The race starts and we see him speed off around the corner. The screen goes blank and the title fades in.
Some problems we might encounter with this idea include the capturing of the dialogue between the two characters arguing- the cameras we may have to use do not have the best sound quality- along with this, the flash-back voices might be hard to make clear in the editing. Also some of the shots would need good acting for the audience to understand the narrative easily.
I have discussed this idea with the group and the feed-back was good, we agreed that the development from the first idea was good as it takes the problems from the first and solves them, however there are a couple of problems which are smaller that have been born with this new idea.
