Article first draft

I have written an article that will feature on my double page spread, but I will be making a lot of ammendments from this first draft to make it as good as I can before it is put on my final work.

An emotional tale of real heartbreak and sorrow, the film follows a woman’s life, which has been turned upside down when she finds out that her husband has been killed. A controversial plot as it affects the lives of many, and any misrepresentations could have an impact on the success of the film. Some people might see this film as a cheesy and cliché rom-com, like many others, where the man has gone off to war and the woman is left to pick up the pieces, however, this is not like any of those films. Instead, it tells an emotional love story. Gemma Graham, who plays Grace Smith, the main character, gives a good example of the suffering from many women. She said “I worked hard to get it right. I didn’t want to overdo it. But I wanted to convey the emotion the way it should be. I wanted to do it justice. Graham acts exceptionally well in the film.

Do not be waiting for a script to guide you through the film, as this is not what you will be getting. The acting of the characters guides you through a film made up of only an instrumental song and it tells as much good of a story as a script would. In fact, the lack of speech makes the final scene even more emotional than it already is, paired with good acting and good cinematic choices from the director.

The scene to look out for is where Graham finds herself alone in her bedroom and she has flashbacks to the day of her proposal from her boyfriend.  The flashbacks add to the extreme intensity of her emotion.
