  1. A clearly explained shot list. You still need to post story board, costume designs etc onto your blog. Regarding the character of the girl, Emily indicated you are representing her as an innocent victim. I made the following suggestions:

    To add interest/originality/ a hook/ to the girl in the cafe, suggest that she is a shop lifter, though she has only lifted inexpensive stuff this gives her an extra dimension and could also suggest that the man in the cafe has come out of revenge because she has lifted from his shop! Think about it! You could include a high angle close up tilt shot when she is in the cafe of pocketing some money out of the till!!! This would add irony and increase suspense and appeal.
