PLANNING: INITIAL DEVELOPMENT

My idea stemmed from a concept with Ronnaé Decker. We wanted to explore the Greek/Roman myths combined with the modern world. We settled on the idea that Cupid had come down to help a normal girl, Katie, to find love, but eventually they both fall in love with each other, but don't realise until the end. We thought we could either animate Cupid or use a friend, Cameron Hardcastle to play Cupid. Katie could be played by one of my friends from the Rose Youth Theatre. We decided that we can use Elm Road Playground as it has a good open field with benches for a first meeting, but we have also considered Ham Common Woods which might be a better, free location. I have various notebooks and so that led to us deciding to make Katie a writer, and have the joke that every time we see her on screen, she has a different notebook with her. We also thought of a friend who composes music to be able to have an original piece based on our story.
