3. 5 Stage Narrative
• Exposition:
Split screen of the boy Harry and the girl Hermione getting ready in the morning and
leaving their house and getting on public transport
• Development:
At college
everyone rushes into the classroom, then the boys and harry talk briefly then Hermione
comes in and the focus is on her and then she goes and sits next to harry. Then she
introduces herself as the new girl. Then harry introduces himself to her however she
does not really remake his introduction.
• Complication:
On the way out of class he approaches her trying to ask her out but she rejects him and
embarrasses him. Then he goes to speak to his friend talking about how he
embarrassed Hermione which she over hears. All of sudden as he walks down the
corridor to he next lesson and then the lights turn off and the Hermione goes past
him but does not realise only seeing a glimpse of her in the dark.
• Climax:
On the way home he tells his friend about the Hermione continuously lying saying she is
weird and crazy and he embarrassed her. Harry then decides to take a short cut and
walk through the woods when Hermione gets revenge on harry and assault.

4. Changes we made to the narrative
• We made changes to the narrative because as a group we felt that the narrative was too
complicated, and decide that we would make the story more simple to keep the audience
in suspense with also the element of horror being illustrated near the ending instead of all
the way through.
Exposition:
Split screen of the boy Harry and the girl Hermione getting ready in the morning and leaving
their house and getting on public transport
Adaptation: Firstly harry will be getting ready and leaving his house and shown getting on
public transport, but just before he gets on the bus he barges someone for no reason.
Development:
At college
everyone rushes into the classroom, then the boys and harry talk briefly then Hermione
comes in and the focus is on her and then she goes and sits next to harry. Then she
introduces herself as the new girl. Then harry introduces himself to her however she does
not really remake his introduction.
Adaptation: As everyone rushes into the classroom then harry strolls into the classroom late,
lying about why he is late and then he sits down and the teacher asks him for the
homework and he takes someone else's homework . Then Hermione walks in .... (the rest
of the development is the same)

5. Cont. The changes of the narrative
Complication:
On the way out of class he approaches her trying to ask her out but she rejects him
and embarrasses him. Then he goes to speak to his friend talking about how he
embarrassed Hermione which she over hears. All of sudden as he walks down the
corridor to he next lesson and then the lights turn off and the Hermione goes past
him but does not realise only seeing a glimpse of her in the dark.
Adaptation: The complication stays the same except we decide to take out the part
when Harry is walking down the corridor and then the lights turn of and he sees a
glimpse of her in the dark. Also when he gets in embarrassed he pushes some boys
around cause they laugh at him.
The climax is staying the same however we decided to have a resolution instead of
leaving it at the climax.
Resolution:
After the assault is committed we are left thinking whether Harry is alive. Then the
next day we just see a crime scene.
