Film Poster Analysis

The main colours used in my film poster are black, white, grey and blue, as these are all quite intense and dark colours, so I felt they would reflect the intense and dark mood of the character and the overall film quite well. Also, paired with the simple image of just an eye, the colour scheme has quite a creepy yet emotional vibe, which is exactly what we aim for the audience to get from the film itself. These colours are also staple colours on ‘thriller’ movie posters, and we chose to forgo using red as to not give the idea of it being a horror movie.

We chose not to use any symbols or anything too complex in the poster, as the overall image itself is ambigious enough on its own. We aim for those who see the poster to be intrigued and want to know more about the film, not to feel confused and bombarded with too many questions.

The main object of the poster is the eye, which is represented photographically and any messages in the poster are visual.

I think the poster could apply to quite a wide intended audience because it is so ambiguous. In this way, I think it would especially appeal to those who are quite curious, as they would want to Google the name of the film to find out more because of the mysterious poster. This technique could also lend itself to our film’s advertising (much like the way the Steven Spielberg movie Super 8 was recently advertised, in a way that gave a hint at the general idea of the movie, but still preserving a sense of mystery).

Having Robert Pattinson as the male lead will act as a unique selling point in several ways. Firstly, all of the other movies he’s done have either been fantasy (Harry Potter), romantic-fantasy (Twilight) or romantic-drama (Remember Me, Water For Elephants)

The poster will be a quite integral part of the marketing for the film, as it will help drum up curiosity around what the film could be about (because the poster doesn’t really give away too many answers).

The main expenses for creating this poster were the technicians and software required for editing, and the photoshoot to take the photo of the eye.

I did quote a review of the film by Empire magazine, which was 4 stars, and includes the quote ‘If this is puppy love, lock up your kids’. I chose to include this particular quote because it reiterates that this film is aimed at a teen/young adult audience, thanks to the ‘puppy love’ reference. Also the fact that the film received 4 out of 5 stars could make the film that much more appealing (especially when competitors may have less flattering reviews).

The poster promises our audience that there will be some quite dramatic/emotional parts in our film (due to the fact that the eye featured has a tear coming out of it), but that it will still be quite intensely creepy (shown in the colours and font). Attention is gained through the ambigious look of the poster.

Film Poster - Second Draft

Primary Audience Profile

Primary Audience

· Female

· Any ethnicity, as long as they speak English

· Aged around 15 – 22

· Typically would have experienced a break-up or some form of rejection.

· These girls would possibly see our film because the central idea is that our male protagonist is very emotional (as he spends most of our film depressed) which is quite different from the male main characters in most other films. This would also provide our film with a unique selling point. Also, even though the movie does end up veering more towards psychological thriller than drama towards the end, it is a more ‘female friendly’ thriller than some others in the genre because it is more about emotion than just raw violence.

Secondary Audience

· Male

· Any ethnicity, as long as they speak English

· Aged around 15 – 22

· This audience would go and see our media product because they could relate to our main character, as they could have experienced similar feeling themselves, so would be able to put themselves in his shoes.

We chose this target audience group because we feel there haven't really been many films made of this type specifically for this audience.

We feel that this audience would be attracted to our media product because most films aimed towards young people either set out to teach the viewer a life lesson, or to give them hope with a happy ending. Our film does neither, instead showing how the intensity of young love can turn bad. As a result, our film is much darker then the typical teen drama as to be a truer representation of how our character would feel.

On the poster, we would have quite dark and intense colours (such as black, grey, blue) to reflect the intense mood of the character and of the film overall. We could have the silhouette of the character by himself with maybe a blank background (kind of playing on the idea of the character being a shadow of his former self as well as showing his isolation)

In the last 6 months our audience may have seen:

- Fatal Attraction, as it follows a similar murderous-suicidal ending to our film.

- Twilight Saga: New Moon, as the entire film is about the isolated after-mathe of the break up of Edward and Bella, and she goes through a depression similar to our character's. Also there is a point where he tries to commit suicide because he thinks she has, so it is based around an extremly intense/ bordering on unhealthy teenage relationship, much like our film.

First Movie Poster

Character Interview Part 1 - Bella Swan, Twilight: New Moon

Turning 18 is a much-awaited celebration for most teenage girls. But Bella Swan certainly isn’t anything like most teenage girls. She is both loved and envied in equal measure in her hometown of Forks, Washington for her slim build, clear skin, individualist approach to life and last, but certainly not least, her gorgeous, adoring boyfriend (who just so happens to be a one-hundred-and-something year old vampire who lusts after her blood). Well that was, until that gorgeous adoring boyfriend suddenly packed up and moved away without warning, completely abandoning her. Now, the girl standing before me is a shadow of her former self. She has gone from slim to gasp-inducingly thin. Constant dark circles under her bloodshot eyes overshadow her clear skin. And that infamous individualist approach? It could currently be better described as self- inflicted isolation from the outside world. Her endearing tendency to blush at the smallest pang of emotion hasn’t been seen in months. No colour ever flushes her cheeks anymore; she just stays a stark, cold white. Ironically, she looks like the life has been sucked out of her.

What would you say has been the most important event in your life so far?

Bella: Moving here. I hated it at first, but this town really isn’t all that bad. I mean everyone I… well nearly everyone I love is here.

Why do you think Edward left?

Bella: It never made any sense for him to love me in the first place. I always knew I loved him way more than he could ever love me, I mean, I know people would look at us and think ‘why is he with her, she’s so plain?’ I always knew that eventually he would realise what everyone else already did. Like he said that I’m ‘not good for him’ but I know he finally realised I wasn’t good enough.

So, what you’re saying is, him leaving has impacted your self-esteem?

Bella: Yes… no. Look, I really don’t blame him. I just miss him, that’s all. I really, really miss him.

Recently, your father has been questioning whether or not it would be best for you to go and stay with your mother in Arizona (where Bella was born, and had lived with her mother and step-father up until a few months ago) for a while, maybe that’s not such a bad idea?

Bella: No! No I’m not leaving. I cant. I wont!

Why do you react so strongly to the idea of leaving?

Bella: I'm sorry… I shouldn’t have reacted like that. It might sound pathetic, but at least if I stay here, where there are still places and things to remind me of him, it kind of gives my memories of him more to cling on to.

Let’s move onto a lighter subject. What would you say your likes and dislikes are?

Bella: I just pretty much prefer to go through life as simply as possible these days. My dislikes are music, books, TV. I just feel like it makes things a lot easier on me to be alone right now, especially in my own head. Likes… I don’t know. Just write whatever.

How about any fears?

Bella: I don’t really have much left to lose anymore.

Any goals?

Bella: (she sighs) To graduate high school.

Would it be fair to say that your personality is fairly introverted?

Bella: Yeah, sure. I guess.

And how has that made dealing with your recent loss? Have you been able to reach out to friends and family for help?

Bella: Honestly, the only reason I even bother getting out of bed in the mornings is to stop my family being concerned about me. My dad worries a lot. I still see my friends at school, I just prefer to be alone with my thoughts now though. Although, thank god for my friend Jacob, he is literally like my personal sun, the only thing that fills my life with warmth and light anymore.

As she answered that last question, it was the first time in this interview that I saw Bella Swan smile. A faint one yes, but it was most definitely there. That faint smile conveyed a glimmer of hope, that this girl refused to just give in to her loss, she was determined to conquer it.

Character Interview Part 2 - Chuck Bass, Gossip Girl

As I sip my margarita at the bar located in the lobby of the Empire Hotel in the Upper East Side of New York, I can smell him before I see him. I am surrounded by the smell of Dior Homme before I see a hand extended towards me along with the infamous words 'I'm Chuck Bass'. I look up to see the 20-something year old man who owns the very hotel we sit in, with the kind of chiseled bone structure usually reserved for cologne adverts and an estimated fortune of $1.1 billion. He wears an impeccably tailored (presumably Italian) navy suit, pinstripe shirt and grey silk cravat, and has his chestnut-hued hair perfectly groomed. 'Manipulative, deceptive, arrogant, greedy and shallow.' are all words that have been used to describe Bass in the past, but I sat down with him to get the truth straight from the billionaire's mouth.

So, Mr. Bass, what would you say your likes and dislikes are?

Chuck: Please, call me Chuck. I like what any gentleman or entrepreneur would like, appropriately aged liquor, the company of several uninhibited young ladies and a well-tailored suit, of course. I wouldn't say there is much I do dislike. I always say we should be open to everything and anything.

What is your definition of a good time?

Chuck: A gentleman never tells.

 How would you describe yourself in 3 words?

Chuck: Handsome, debonair, charming… Should I go on?

How do you think your friends would describe you?

Chuck: Much of the same, I expect.

It seems you've never met an ascot or bow tie you didn't like. Who or what inspires your sense of style?

I inspire people. Not vice versa.

You’ve been quoted as saying ‘there isn’t a problem that money can’t fix’. How do you handle criticisms that you are too materialistic?

Chuck: I don’t have to handle anything. I'm Chuck Bass.

But your social circle has shut you out because of the ways you have manipulated them in the past. If money cant solve that problem, how will you deal with this isolation?

Chuck: (he clears his throat) No comment.

Recently, a certified therapist said you are so emotionally unstable that you 'pay for intimacy so you have all of the control’; do you see that as a fair assessment?

Chuck: That’s a private matter and will remain as such.

In a recent interview Blair Waldorf had this to say: "Chuck Bass is the one obsessed with me, not the other way around." Discuss.

Chuck: No

It is widely thought that the reason Blair ended your 2-year relationship was due to your reluctance to let her in emotionally. However, you were seen buying her an engagement ring a matter of days before she ended it. Would you care to elaborate?

Chuck: Next question.

Is reuniting with Blair one of your plans for the future?

Chuck: A man of action does not plan, he conquers.

Representation of Main Character

Characteristic	Camera/ Sound/ Mise en Scene	How we will show it
Age - 15	Mise en Scene -         Costume -         Setting	He is either wearing a school uniform or casual tracksuit bottoms, both typical for someone his age. Typical bedroom items of someone that age in the living room.
Isolation	Sound -         Dialogue	Throughout the entire scene he has no dialogue and does not make any attempt to engage with others. In classroom and hallway scenes, dialogue of those around him is muffled, shows he’s not engaging with others.
Has been kicked out of his house	Mise en Scene -         Setting	Sleeps on a sofa rather than in a bedroom, clearly is a regular routine, as he wakes up there at the start of the day and goes back to sleep there at the end. Could show bad relationship with family.
Depressed	Mise en Scene -         Body language, Facial expression Camera Sound -         Music	Slumped body language and blank facial expression throughout. A lot of close ups are used, ensuring the audience sees his facial expression at different points throughout. Very sombre, slow music, reflects mood of the character.
Insecurities	Camera	Looking in the mirror between shots with a blank expression. Also, the shot getting closer each time shows he could be trying looking deeper.
Has acquaintances but not real friends	Camera	Shots of him amongst a group of other people (classroom and hallway scenes), he is visibly distressed but no one around him tries to reach out to check if he is ok.
Interests	Mise en Scene -         Props	Some things that a boy of his age would be expected to have in his room, such as an Xbox, and his alarm clock is football-themed.

Shot and Storyboard 1st and Final Draft Analysis

In hindsight I can see where we went wrong with our first draft of the storyboard, which is why I’m glad we got a chance to do a second draft, using the first as a kind of jump-off point.

Shot 1 - The first shot of the 2^nd draft is a long panning shot around Ashley’s dimly lit bedroom, the only sound being the beeping of his alarm clock. We chose to make this our first shot – rather than the long shot of him simply walking down the street that we used in the 1^st draft – after getting feedback from our teacher that it is important for the audience to get an idea of the character’s everyday life and surroundings in the opening scene, especially in establishing shots. Considering one of the central ideas of our opening scene is that of Ashley’s loneliness, we decided the first setting we needed to establish was a place where he truly was alone, which is his bedroom.

Shot 2 – The second shot is a close up of the alarm clock and then a hand reaching over and pressing the snooze button to stop it ringing. We added this after watching other movie openings and found that focusing on small details with close ups and cut-aways like this just make the overall scene more effective than if everything was shot in the same long and medium shots.

Shot 3 - This is going to be a medium shot from a bird’s eye view of Ashley lying on his bed for a few seconds, then getting up and off. We are using this because it feels like a good way to introduce the character

Shot 4 –This is a long shot from the side of Ashley walking towards the mirror

Shot 5 – This is going to be a long shot of Ashley looking blankly at himself in a full-length mirror. The reason we chose to use this was because we felt it was a good way to show how detached he feels from his own emotions, that he can look at a reflection of himself the way he would look at a total stranger because he only sees emptiness reflected back at him

Shot 6 - What was originally the second shot in the 1st draft eventually became the 5^th shot of the 2^nd, although we did adapt it a bit. Originally, the shot was just a tracking over the shoulder of him walking through the school gates. However, after watching the opening from The Way of The Gun (where the first shot pans down from the building to the crowd) I felt that panning down from the top of the school first could be a good way of establishing his surroundings without having to use the more commonly used horizontal panning shot.

Shot 7 – This is another shot of him staring at himself in the mirror, except this time it is a medium long shot. By zooming in slightly every time we cut back to this sequence, as well as placing the different shots sporadically in between the different shots of him in school, kind of represents how the magnitude of his emotions starts to become clearer to him as he looks back on his behaviour throughout the day.

Shot 8 – This is an extreme long shot of him standing in the middle of a crowded hallway. We chose to use this shot because it will show how big the crowd is, and so accentuate how clearly disconnected he is from them all.

Shot 9 – Here we will use a medium shot of him in the mirror, getting closer as he thinks

Shot 10 – This will be a close up of the clock on a classroom wall. This is to add to the typical classroom atmosphere, as well as for the audience to get an idea of how long he has been in this state (if they think back to the time on his alarm clock in shot 2).         

Shot 11 – This is going to be a long shot of Ashley sat down at a desk in a classroom, while everyone else around and behind him talk animatedly. This shot is basically to show the contrast between the emotions and actions of his peers (examples of what would be expected at that age) and the way he looks and behaves, but in a way that keeps the main character in the foreground.

Shot 12 – This will be a medium tracking shot of 180 degrees around the front of Ashley’s face.  We chose to include this because we feel it is a more creative way of showing the characters current facial expression than, for example, repeatedly using close-ups.

Shot 13 – This is a close up over the shoulder shot from the front of Ashley standing in another halfway, showing the people milling around and past him as the amount of people left dwindle down until just a few can be seen in the background. This again just goes to show the way everyone around him seems to just go about their everyday lives, while he is just alone.

Shot 14 – This will be a long shot, showing that he is the last one left in the hallway. He stands there are few seconds, then begins to walk down the hallway towards the camera.

Shot 15 – Ashley stops and stares out of a window, with a close up taken from the side. We chose this because it is a way of showing his reaction, while not revealing what he has seen, which would make the audience ask questions. Also, we are going to take this shot from the side because it is slightly less conventional than if we took it from the front.

Shot 16 – This will a long shot from in front of him walking down the hallway and then walking out of shot.

Shot 17 – The final shot of him in the mirror is an extreme close up, which then zooms out to an over the shoulder so we see he has a phone in his hand in the reflection, which he puts down on a table next to the mirror, then walks off shot. The effect of the extreme close up is that because it is the closest shot we could have of his face where his expression can still be seen, its like he is looking as deep into his own mind and feelings as he can. Then, by zooming out to the OTS so the phone can be seen,

Shot 18 – This will be a long shot taken from behind him, showing him crossing the room and getting into the bed. By going from a much tighter shot (the extreme close up to OTS) to this much wider shot, it represents that he is trying to ignore those deep-rooted issues that he has now unearthed in himself and tries to go back to the numb feeling he was at when he first woke up that morning in the first shot of him in the mirror, which had been a long shot, so using another long shot forms some kind of symmetry.

Shot 19 - This is going to be a medium shot from a bird’s eye view of Ashley lying on his bed, reaching over to the lamp. This shot yet again serves as symmetry (of shot 3) with his day ending the way it began, which reflects the monotony of his daily routine.

Shot 20 – This is a cut-away of him turning the lamp off. As with the other close-ups and cut-aways this was used to add interest and variety into the scene.

Shot 21 – In the dim lighting, we’ll have a long panning shot across the room, from the bed to the phone on the table. This is again a kind of symmetry, but one that’s different from the other uses. Whilst the others will be very close in appearance, this one will be in darkness rather than in light, like how the original panning shot in shot 1 is, because it will reflect how his outlook has changed from the beginning of his day to the end.

Shot 22 – This final shot is a close up of his phone on the table, displaying the text on the screen. We chose to have this close-up as the final shot of the scene because it is the thing that makes ever other parts of the opening come together and make sense.

Opening Scene Final Script

It is a grey, cloudy November morning, and a boy of about 16 walks along a pavement to school.

The first shot is a Tracking over the Shoulder shot of a boy named Ashley walking into school, turning his head slightly to the side, a cloud of condensation is released as he exhales. We’ll use this tracking over the shoulder shot to show where Ashley is walking too. He walks into school looking at the floor and barely looking up.

A panning long shot is then taken from his side, showing him walking slowly along the pavement. He walks along pavement and barely looks up.

He stops walking (and from in front of him) a Panning medium shot is taken that pans from his feet upwards, to the vacant, zombie-like expression on his face.

We then return to the medium shot and he walks out of the shot.

We will use a low angled wide shot as Ashley slowly walks down a corridor for a few steps till he is in the middle of the corridor. A extreme long shot will be used of everyone walking around him, showing him isolated. The crowd around him move quickly (sped up to fast motion in editing) while the boy just stands perfectly still and blinking, unaffected by everything around him.

The next shot is a medium long shot of the boy sat in a classroom. The occupants of every other seat around him chat animatedly to each other (some even talking to each other through him, as if he isn’t even really there), yet he stares down expressionless at the table.

We then cut to Ashley stood in another corridor as the school bell can be heard, outside the classroom he was just in. An OTS shot of a surge of people rushing towards him will be shown, and Ashley still stands there, staring towards the ground without a move. The people filter around him until he is alone again, then there is a close-up as he sheds a tear.

There is then a long shot of him walking down a dimly lit hallway. He stares out of a window as if he has seen a ghost from his past. The camera then cuts to what he is looking at, a long shot of a girl outside, talking and laughing with friends. At this point, the boy pulls his phone out of his pocket, and there is a cut-away of his phone as he looks at a text message that simply reads ‘sorry Ashley, i don't think me and you are working out. its not u, its me x'.

Opening Scene Script - First Draft

It is a grey, cloudy November morning, and a boy of about 16 walks along a pavement to school.

The first shot is a Tracking Over the Shoulder shot of the him walking into school, turning his head slightly to the side, a cloud of condensation is released as he exhales.

A panning long shot is then taken from his side, showing him walking slowly along the pavement.

He stops walking (and from infront of him) a Panning medium shot is taken that pans from his feet upwards, to the vacant, zombie-like expression on his face.

There is then a cut away to a phone that he pulls out of his pocket, then angrily shoves back in.

We then return to the medium shot and he walks out of the shot.

The boy then stands in the middle of a crowded area, surrounded by people (wide extreme long shot). The crowd around him move quickly (sped up to fast motion in editing) while the boy just stands perfectly still and blinking, unaffected by everything around him.

The next shot is a medium long shot of the boy sat at a full lunch table. The occupants of every other seat chat animatedly to eachother (some even talking to eachother through him, as if he wasnt even really there), yet he stares down expressionless at the table.

There is then a long shot of him walking down a dimly lit hallway. He stares out of a window as if he has seen a ghost from his past. The camera then cuts to what he is looking at, a long shot of a girl outside, talking and laughing with friends. At this point, the boy pulls his phone out of his pocket, and  there is a close up of his phone as he looks at a text message that simply reads 'Im sorry, but i just cant anymore. its not u, its me x'.

Examples of how filmakers have interpretted our theme (loss) in their own films - Part 3

The thing I think the filmmaker was aiming most for in his interpretation of loss is the feeling of emptiness, as well as probably trying to stay quite close the way this scene was originally described in the book (quite simply as blank pages with the different months printed at the top).  In my opinion, Kristen Stewart had some real competition to be the star of this scene when up against the great camera and editing work used. The way in which she sits perfectly still – almost comatose, as if in shock – while the camera tracks around her head as nothing about her changes but the seasons do, gives the audience the immediate feeling of empathy, as they can quite clearly see that she is unable to move on, making the camera/editing a bit symbolic in a way. i also like how apt the music is, with its eery toneit perfectly reflects the vibe of the scene.

It would be unrealistic to aim this high for our project because, let’s face it, we do nt have a huge Hollywood budget to do all those camera and editing tricks. However, I do think one thing we could take away from this scene is that the atmosphere created could really make or break it in terms of how the audience reacts.

Examples of how filmakers have interpretted our theme (loss) in their own films - Part 2

I am really inspired by the way in which the filmmaker has interpreted loss in this short film. Rather than going the obvious route by merely showing the sadness of loss in relation to the main character, the filmmaker has chosen to include cut-away shots of random inanimate objects. This makes the audience feel almost as if the character's surroundings have taken on a life of their own and are now a manifestation of the character’s feelings, feeding off of the occupants vibes. This use of both external and internal representations of the emotion really reiterate to the audience just what a significant loss this person has experienced. However, at the same time this has also shown me an example of over-use of these kinds of shots. It starts to feel a bit like you're seeing more shots of furnishings than you are of the actual main character of the plot, so that is something i will take into consideration during our group task. I also really like the repetitive nature of the film, which i guess would kind of reflect the character feeling his life is mundane without that something/someone he no longer has. Most of all (although it isn't something we can really include since our task is an opening scene and so should still have some remaining ambiguity at the end of it), i really loved the penultimate shot of the plug being pulled out and water trickling down the drain, as it is kind of symbolic of letting go and ending/resolving the problem (which both contrasts and compliments the characters attempt at 'letting go' - by overdosing on pills - which while it may be an escape, isn't exactly going to help him get over the loss).

Examples of how filmakers have interpretted our theme (loss) in their own films - Part 1

I really like the surreal quality the filmmaker has used in this film At the end – where you realise she has potentially daydreamed the whole thing, yet the male character approaches her and says ‘I know I had an amazing time, I know you had an amazing time, but neither of us remembers it’ and the woman cries – it’s almost as if she is mourning the loss of what could have been.

Also, I really like how the characters immediately had a link to each other, simply through the use of cohesive styling (in terms of the matching sunglasses). The effect of this, paired with the mundane clothing of the extras in the scene, makes the audience sense an immediate connection between the 2 characters, as if they are both from an endangered alien species.

In terms of what I would take from this short film that I would incorporate into my groups opening scene, I really liked the way in which she was filmed among the crowd, as it managed to still be quite active with the use of camera angles (including mid shots, cut-aways and some close-ups) while still focusing on the main objective of the scene, which was to show how isolated she is, even among a crowd.

Opening Scene Treatment

Ashley believed he was in love with a beautiful, young lady, way out of his league. He believed this girl was his one and had spent many months before fantasising what it would be like if he got one chance with this girl. When ashley got the courage to ask the girl on a date, she said yes. Which hooked ashley on love, day after day after day; he would see her and shower her with gifts making her feel like a princess. After a while, he started seeing this girl less and less, and she used excuses like 'School is too hard at the moment' and 'Im busy, maybe tommorrow'. He didn't realise the obvious, she didn't like him anymore. It was a sunday night, he kissed the photo of her goodnight and put the picture which was located on the bedside next to him down and laid down comptemplating how their future will go. Wondering how many kids they'll have and what they're going to name them.
Ash woke up in the morning, rolled over and checked his phone. A text from his beloved saying "I don't think its working Ash, its not you, its me. Hope we can still be friends x"
Devastated, he sat in his bed staring at the mirror facing him for a good intese 20 minuites. Ashleys mother walked in and asked why he was like this, no reply.
He got up, took his time to get ready and walked to school almost an hour later than he usually does. He opened a door to the school, stood still, then looked down for about 5 mins while people walked around him when they came out their lessons. Ash slowly walked the through everyone walking towards him. Everything looked grey in his eyes, trying not to hold back the tears. He turned left thinking he's love was there waiting for him, but no one was there. He stood again in complete still while people around him rushed to their lessons, without a care in the world he walked into a completely empty class, he sat got his books out and stared at the board for the remainder of the hour.
His ex girlfriend even walked past the room but he was so deep into this stare he didn't realise. When the bell went off, he walked out of the class. Head still looking towards the floor, looking like death. Ash bust through the same door he entered in and stomped through the playground. No one is quite sure whats about to happen now, Ash doesn't look sane, something inside of him has gone wrong.
He check's his phone while marching towards the exit of school, nothings changed. Ash breaks into tears.

A few days pass, he still hasn't changed. He goes into school, no will for life anymore and walks around to where his ex girlfriend usually stands. This time she is there, looking as well and more beautiful then he ever imagined. He approached her with a look of worry on his face while she is laughing and joking with her friends. When she realises he's approaching, she tells her friends for some privacy, realsing her mistake in letting him go. She whips her hair back as Ash creeps towards her with some pain burning inside him. She asks him to take a step outside, ashley walks besides her in complete silence, but because of the time in the morning, many parents are taking their kids to school. She doesn't say much, but gestures for a hug while ash still stands there in complete silence, but during this hug, Ash lent backwards, dragging both of them towards an incoming car, killing him instantly but leaving her in a extreme condition.
