Welsh schoolboy 'killed former girlfriend for free breakfast'
Swansea court told defendant lured Rebecca Aylward, 15, to woods in Bridgend and beat her with a rock to win bet
Our film is based on the true story of a young girl, who's boyfriend killed her for a free breakfast which was arranged by his mates. As a group we wanted people understand the fear the young girl felt and that the boy was thinking and why is made the choice he did. We wanted the boyfriend to reflect Stevie character in killing Amelia. We thought that the true story would help build a good story line for our film. We are not going to use the same names as the true story as we believe it would be disrespectful to both people involved. We gave up with our name of '50/50' for our film opening, our reason for our film title was the bet was 50/50 and Stevie had the choice to kill Amelia. The setting would also be a bit different to the true setting, we would set our film in a woods near our school however they did have a number of different idea on where to set the film opening.
When you say it is 'based on a true story', how close will it be to the events that took place? Are the names of the characters the same? Is the setting the same? If not, be specific.
ReplyDeleteI like the link into true events to show the audience the real nature of your story, but you must explain in detail how it is, or is not, similar to the horrific events described in the newspaper article.
