Narrative Ryan suffers from amnesia after being in a car accident. This disease causes him to

forget his memories each day. In order for him to remember things he writes notes to self about his encounters.

He meets Megan and is lead to believe they are a couple although he has flash backs of his life before the accident and regularly sees a girl called Beth.

Beth pleads to Ryan that he doesn’t even know Megan but he is in a vulnerable place and doesn’t believe her. Ryan thinks Beth is jealous of his new relationship.

As time passes he begins to realize he has no memories of Megan and becomes suspicious of her when he seems a woman of her description (necklace) on the news who is believed to be a criminal on the loose.

Ryan goes to find his notes to try and piece together the story and finds that they have disappeared apart from one note that has replaced the others reading “Have you forgotten something?”

He turns to be greeted my Megan holding a drink that has previously been poisoned (shown by cross-cutting) and says “Well have you?” Beth enters the room knocking the drink out of Megan’s hand.

Key ElementsThere are a number of elements that must be included in our short film. This includes some

form of time, an object and a relevant relationship.Some ideas we are considering for our

time element include using an over exaggerated sound of a clock ticking to

create a tense atmosphere so the audience can feel the suspense. Also another form we considered is a calendar that the main character Ryan will use to keep track of his days. We plan on using flashbacks in

order to explain to the audience what happened to Ryan and his previous life

before the accident. The recognised objects we plan to use include post it notes that Ryan will use

frequently to record any memories that he feels are important to remember. Also, we aim to use a necklace that will belong to Megan that is a key element when the

story unfolds to reveal she is the criminal.The relationships we are going to include are a friendship between Ryan and Beth that were previously a couple until his

accident where he forgot they were together and then became convinced he

was with Megan.
