Our original plot was going to be that of a kidnapping that occurs at the fair, and is then the mother of the twins' journey to save her children. The film would also have been set in the 1950s, as to take advantage of the setting we had (a vintage fairground) and to be able to use the second world war as a stimulus for the reasoning behind the kidnapping.
Unfortunately, when I asked permission to film on the fair, they agreed to let us film, but they did not like the idea of the negative connotations associated with fair grounds portrayed through the kidnapping. In order to keep the owners and managers happy, we made an executive decision to alter our plot. The time setting of our film would have been the fifties , and in order to make the idea of kidnapping realistic, the fair would of had to have been busy. We would also have had to keep to the verisimilitude of the era, and this would have been unrealistic to have tried to achieve on such a large scale, with the resources that were available to us, so we decided to also change the era.
We liked the idea of a split family from our original plot, and the search to find them again as a theme, and we also liked the setting of the fairground, so we decided to keep these two factors in our new plot. The setting of our new idea is going to be post-apocalyptic, with the reasoning behind the apocalypse questioning and opposing social media.We wanted the plot to be set in a world where the apocalypse has occurred but we did not want the typical zombie apocalypse film, rather we wanted the film to make people think, and question the social reality in which they live, with Social Media playing a huge part in most people's lives, and almost, taking control of the world.
