Props/Costume

I will use a AC/DC T-shirt for the montage as Nina is Literally on a 'High way to Hell'
Also it reflect her teenage rebellion, post the party and the run- in with her father.

 

I will also need to purchase a pregnancy test in order to show the audience the situation Nina

is in; there is no dialogue. It will also be more realistic and conventional. 

Synopsis

Overview of the Film
The film itself is about a young girl called Nina and the problems she faces during her teenage years at college. Nina is a very popular girl and seen as 'miss perfect', all the boys fancy her and all the girls envy her. Little do they know what happens behind the scenes.
Amy lives in a broken home with her alcoholic abusive father and self-obsessed mother, who is never there, though she would tell you she is. After a run-in with her father one night, Nina attends a party in order to drown her sorrows. Nina gets very drunk and ends up in bed with a boy from her college, Nina falls pregnant. In the end she confides in a teacher she thinks she can trust to help her when in fact she makes things worse by phoning home saying she is 'worried' about Nina.

Sequence I will show
The sequence I am going to create is where Nina finds out she is pregnant and how it starts to sink in. There will be little dialogue and will reflect Nina's state of mind at the time through the editing and cinematography. I intend to put a wash effect on the whole piece tinted slightly green and drain it of some colour; it will be set mainly in a bathroom.  I will dress my actress Amy (Nina) in an oversized AC/DC t-shirt and have her hair a mess and minimal makeup; however I will have untidy eye make-up to interpret crying.
