Bereavement

Casting
Girl (Hope)
Tosin Oluyadi:
Plays the main sister. She is devastated by her sister's loss. She often gives her sister a reality check about the way she behaves and tells her to grow up. She gets frustrated with her sisters behaviour because she finds her annoying. She is the more shy sister.
Initially, we named the young girl Jessica so that the audience can relate to the character more. If she were to be nameless the audience may feel disconnected. We have now decided to call her Hope due to the irony of the name contrasting to the theme of the short film (Despair).
Sister
Priscilla Amankwah:
Plays the sister that has died. She often feels her sister is unfair to her and doesn't understand her. She feels her sister always has a say in everything she does. She gets frustrated when her sister takes her things away. She expresses her feelings in a diary, rather than saying things outloud to her sister, but she would rather keep her feelings inside. She is the more outspoken sister.
Deep down inside the two sisters have a strong sibling relationship and they stick by each other in the end.
We have not given the sister a name because we do not want the audience to get too attached to her character because the viewers attention will be drawn away from the main character.

Presentation
What went well
* Our information on the Frey Tag diagram was good
* The information on our props and the detail overall on our presentation was good
What didn't go well
* There was not enough information on our narrative
* The voice projection of our voices was low so our voices weren't heard clearly
Improvements
* Everyone projecting their voices loudly
* Having more information on our narrative included on our presentation
My individual contribution
* I did the information on the casting of our short film
* I did our audience research on drama, including the what stages of bereavement are
* I helped do the animatic storyboard by doing the voice overs with Tosin and the storyboard

This short film is about a young girl loosing her father. This storyline is similar to our plot for our short film. In the middle of the short film the girl is dressed in black in her room waiting to go to her fathers funeral (which is likewise to our plot when the main character Hope waits to go to her sister's funeral) This girl expresses her frustrations towards her father dieing, which is similar to our main character (Hope) expressing her emotions too.
