Dialogue Planning

In our narrative we plan on having minimum dialogue. This is because we want to represent both characters as isolated: the male by choice creating an emotional enigma as to why and the female to by choice making the audience empathise with her. The lack of dialogue throughout the opening sequence can suggest the lack of relationships they both have and how alone they really are.

Furthermore, the lack of the alternative narration/voice over can suggest that no one wants to interfere in this situation as no one has any information or suggestions to offer. This also makes the audience feel uncomfortable as there is no comfort offered in a voice to make the situation seem bearable or normal.

Therefore, we decided to include one line of dialogue at the very end of the opening sequence as it is the climax to the building tension throughout the opening sequence. We have decided the female will say 'good morning daddy' to the male character when he enters her room.

We have decided to say this as it has interpretive connotations. 'Daddy' has connotations of a loving father figure which the audience has not seen surrounding the male character. Instead they are seeing a situation where the female is tied up in a room which is not what a father would do. Also, the fact the female is saying 'Daddy' instead of 'Dad' suggests she has a loving daughter relationship with him which the audience are confused by as they struggle to understand how she could.  Furthermore, the fact she says 'good morning' suggests she has been waiting for him and it is a routine for him to greet her in the morning as its almost as if she was expecting him. This again is confusing and unsettling to the audience as this dialogue is consistent with a normal father daughter relationship and it is clear this is not a normal relationship.
