Today marked the first day of bouncing ideas about to try and come up with an alternate ending. The main concern Frank has with my idea is not building enough character throughout the story line for the audience to feel sorry for him at the end. I have the same concern.
So what frank suggests is to lose the shock value at the end and exchanging it for a loving moment with his mum at the end (hugging). This i agree would be great for making the audience feel more sorry for him than him just shooting himself but it does ruin the whole shock value from the original idea.
The other idea thrown my way was by the pitch tutor Simon and he believes i should have it more requiem for a dream style, flicking between both his mums view on the world and his. This is probably a better way for the audience to understand that what he see's is not real but it also throws the whole zombie shock ending concept out the window.
Both ideas give me a lot to think about over the next couple of days. If i do find an ending that my tutor likes; it means getting a higher grade, a distinction (plus 10 EDEXCEL points)! That leaves me with the the tough choice of either going ahead with my original idea or changing it.
