Things that didn't work/fit and the problems we faced

Dialogue/script:

In order to maintain the idea of simplicity throughout our film we decided to keep the script to a minimum. Our original idea was to have Chloe's anonymous character leaving an answer phone message to the sister's mum saying that she had done something wrong and that she was confused both mentallyand physically. Our other idea was to have a scene right at the very beginning of the clip where Chloe is seen walking up and down a balcony (Abby's house) where she begins to have flashbacks and screams out, "AIMEE!!!" Although this was a good way to keep the plot simple but effective as both the phone message and the fact she screams Aimee tells the story, we decided against this. This was both seperate scripts made the opening to our film very confusing, it was hard to tell what was going on or who was involved.

Another problem is that many horrors use dialogue to emphasise someones feelings so they maximise the potential that the dialogue has on the audience. The fact that we only had two separate scripts where only Chloe was talking made the film confusing as the scream was at the beginning and the phone message is right at the end. In between these two pieces of dialogue is just various different shots of the locations and the characters body language.
