PLOT FOUR

ONE MORE STOP

ACTRESS: CAMERON DIAZ

Plot four is based around a young female who works in a charity shop. She gets the train to and for work. This is observed by her train driver. He is a 40 year old man who becomes so obssessed with her, he does anything to spy on her and find out about her life. His obsession leads him to jealousy when he sees her with another man, who she kisses as she gets off the train. He waits until a day when she is alone in the carriage. At the next station he tells eveyone to get off the train, but doesn't open the door to her carriage. He takes her to the end of the line, where he ties her to the train track. He attaches a note to her body - 'bad things happen to good people, so why be good?' He leaves, and when the next train comes into that station, she is crushed.
WHY I CHOSE CAMERON DIAZ TO ACT IN THIS FILM

Cameron Diaz is known for being stereotypical, glamorous blonde. Her previous work such as starring in 'In her shows' exaggerates this image. She looks like a young innocent girl who would be willing to work in a charity shop yet at the same time is gorgeous and is likely to attrack some male attention! She also seems rather vulnerable and wouldn't be able to defend herself in a situation like the one in the plot. This makes the movies seem more plausible as the characters can emphasise with a realistic character.

WHY WE CHOSE THE TITLE - ONE MORE STOP

This added to the location of the film, yet at the same time didn't give much of the storyline away, therefore it created enigma. 'One more stop' sounds quite spine-chilling as if someone is urging to get off the train. This adds to the narrative image of the film, and gives the audience a sense of what the narrative is about.

PLOT ONE
CAN-CAN SHE DO IT
ACTRESS: QUEEN LATIFAH AND HALLE BERRY

The plot ia about a girl whose dream is to one day move to Paris and become a Moulin Rouge dancer. She has a huge passion for this which is then ruined when her mum dies due to lung cancer, and her dad puts her and her sister up for adoption. The girl gets ripped away from her father and is adopted by a rich family in Washington DC. She changes into a different, posher, primer person. Her foster parents' dream is to see her become the first female president of the USA. One day, while she is funning for president she manages to reunite herself with her sister who makes her realise what she really wants. She drops out of the elections and moves to Paris with her sister where she pursues her dream of being a moulin rouge dancer.
WHY I CHOSE HALLE BERRY AND QUEEN LATIFAH
I chose Queen Latifah to be the older sister, as she was born in 1970 (the elder out of the two) therefore makes the role more plausible. She has is known as a great actor, daner and singer after performing in hairspray, 2007, directed by Adam Shankman. I chose Halle Berry to play the role of the younger sister as she comes across as naive with her short hair.She is also a very volatile actor who can play many roles. After acting in one of the James Bond movies, she has shown a serious side to her which would make the 'USA president elections' seem realistic. Race was an issue in this, as the two actresses need to be related we had to make sure they werent of different races.
WHY WE CHOSE THE TITLE - CAN CAN SHE DO IT?
The title is a play on words.
Can-can is relating to the dance style in the moulin rouge times. It adds to the narative image of the film, but doesnt give too much away. The rheotorical question creates enigma as the audience wonder what she can or can't do
