The working title of my short film will be called Ardens secret as this is the name of the main character of the short film and shows that the film is a myster/drama. The genre of this short film is drama/ mystery, the film is about Arden Winters, who has recently split with her long term boyfriend Kit Valentine without reason. So Kit and his best mate Evan go on a mission to find out what Ardens secret is. The required we would need to film this short film 'Ardens secret' would be Evie, Jess, Monique as we are the 3 making it and our required actors which we have Rosa, Eddie, Alex, Lorna, Noah and Alex. To be able to film our short film we will need a DSLR Canon camera, a tripod, a wireless microphone to film foley sounds etc, camera lighting and the props/ outfits needed for our actors.

 we have chosen to do a genre of Mystery for our short film however there is also going to be a sub-genre of Romance and this relates to Bary Keith Grant's, (1995) theory of all genres have sub genres and this is something that I agree with, evidently shown in. our short film. We have chosen to do a mystery because I think that this is a genre that is very gripping and a genre that will be able to catch the audience's attention. It may be classed as mystery because there is a lot of enigma within the music video, arguments that happen and the audience will be unsure why however it is then revealed in the end but could have been for multiple reason and this leaves the audience to use their imagination. 

Arden Winters- Rosa

Arden is the main character so she stands out from the rest of her friends, she is also quite mysterious therefore the audience will want to find out more about her


Kit Valentine- Eddie

Kit is Ardens now ex boyfriend, he is cool like Arden so he is clued up to why Arden broke up with him. Kit also plays the main charcter as this is why Arden has a secret 


Ivy Coleman- Lorna

Ivy is Ardens bestfriend, she is confused to why Arden broke up with Kit and doesn't know her secret either, so its up to them all to find out. Ardens character is quite dopey as she never understands whats going on


Evan Jones- Alex

Evan is Kits best friend, he is helping out Kit to find out what Ardens secret is without finding out too much which could ruin his relationship with Kit...
