As The Story of an Hour is set over the course of an hour we needed to think of ways to capture the story in just 5 minutes. We had to carefully shorten the text to fit our time limit. Once we had a suitable script we thought up ways we could capture the images.
One of our ideas was to place a clock in the corner of the screen that ticked for an hour, this would show the audience how much time has passed. Another idea was to use slow motion and speed things up, emphasising the important parts and fast forwarding through the parts that weren't important. Our last idea was to shoot as if watching through a security camera. They have built in timers and would effectively show the viewer what is happening at the same time as showing the time scale.
It is also important for us to make sure the audience feel for the character at an early stage, and become attached to her as she shows some strong emotions, and we only have a short amount of time to display them.
