Fiction Adaptation - New Idea

After my discussion with Helen about my previous ideas, she got me thinking about my ideas and if they were good enough for the main idea. The main thing that she left in my head what make a wow factor. She told me to make something different, not obvious or typical. So I thought about my ideas and thought that they didn't work as they were too obvious and typical and no were fresh. I then looked at the poem and started to break it down 2 lines at a time, with this I started to see more easier ideas but still didn't have a good story. After a long chat with Ruby about ideas she helped me to adapt a new story which I really liked and from there I used the break down method and started to piece together a story and shots. For every 2 lines I would have a different shot and meaning that would move the story on to the next 2 lines.

My new idea is about a guy called David Anderson, his is a wealthy, selfish stock broker who puts his work before anything. He is out celebrating with some work friends for another pay rise he gotten. As they are having fun, a guy comes from behind David and stabs him in the side, he then leaves. At first David doesn't really realise what has happened, but it then takes affect. He drops to the floor, bleeding. His friends and other people gather round him, they try to give him water and hold down on his wound, but he becomes unconscious. He passes into a 'Limbo' state. He wakes up in a hospital on a drip and death is there. He then goes back to the 'Limbo' state and is in a forest with death as he shows he his wrong doing.  He is shown the footage of him running over the stabbers fiance a year ago and driving off. After that death takes him away forever.

When Helen hear the idea she was very pleased with it and liked it alot and thought it was different and fresh. I told her about all the aspects of the idea and how I would do it, she was pleased that I had a fully working idea which was going somewhere.

From this positive feedback I was happy and glad that I had Helen approve and could confidently move forward with the idea and produce a script and casting actors. From this I had learnt that good planing helps a lot for a good production.
