Main Character(s): An 18 year old girl called Tara
Group of three friends

Synopsis: Tara will start off by asking the audience the rehetoriacal question; "Have they ever experienced or contemplated the proverb, 'Don't cross that bridge till you come to it?'", emphasizing how life reaches the final chapter in which it must close. She begins reminising about the the life she must leave behind, now that she has decided to leave her hometown with the promise of travel in her future. The film will have a series of flashbacks, in which she is saying goodbye to her friends and family. Tara has a dark secret the audience is not aware of. The film will show Tara in a soliloquy about how life relates to the water of the sea. It is cruel, deep and trapping. The film's main setting is at a bridge. Tara expresses how she must build her own bridges to walk over, how she must burn some bridges behind her and how some need mending by mistakes made in one's own life. The film's ending will leave the audience with an optimistic view on the future, rather than the play's previous tone of pessimism.


Soundtrack/Score: Haven't got that bit sorted as im looking into copyright issues at the minute, I was thinking of producing the score while filming in March. I no i want to have something along the lines of the composers who influenced me in terms of producting my own heavy base but instrumental piece.


SFX: Waves lapping under bridge.A series of voices in her head to show an unstable mental state.
