Diary post 3: narrative ideas brainstorm

• I created this brainstorm/spider diagram to see which themes within the social realism genre I would be most interested in to chose as a main idea for my films trailer.Whilst doing this, I also tried to see which of the themes I was able to branch out most widely to try and get a variety of narrative ideas. 

• Throughout the process of creating this diagram I have realised that most of the issues within this genre tend to interlink. The theme that seems to have come up and link with my ideas is abundance money. As seen on my spider diagram, an idea listed is the idea of showing the contrast between wealthy and poor. I feel like this is an issue which a lot of people can identify with as it is something a lot of people deal with, whether it is abundance or the lack of it. This is therefore, something I would like to explore further as i think it would be very interesting to convey. 

• I really like the narrative idea of a newly wed couple / family having problems having children and I could therefore, try and portray this and make it link in with money. For example, a couple that wants to have children more than anything and the only solution for them is to go through the IVF process but they can't afford it. Through this I could try and bring out or enhance the contrast between wealthy and less fortunate.
