2. PLOT IDEA
The trailer shall start of with a voiceover from Willow's teacher, explaining a
history project. Meanwhile it will be shown, that Willow is searching the
library for a book. Within the scene, Willow then finds a diary, belonging to
Judith (a girl similar to her age, from the 1940's) explaining her love story,
between herself and Walter. As the trailer continues, there are similarities
within Judith and Willows love life, Willows being with Jasper.
Judith's Story: She meets Walter in a restaurant, whilst out with her two
friends. John (3rd party in love triangle) grabs Judith as she is about to walk
away, seeing her struggle Walter steps in helping her. This is how they meet
for the first time. The relationship between Judith and Walter develops, then
Walter is called to leave for war again. The two stay in contact through
letters, however this stops overtime. Judith left in her sorrows with no
contact with Walter, decides to move on. She reconsiders John, and decides
to move on in life by marrying him. The marriage between Judith and John is
one of appearance. Suddenly Walter returns, ready to sweep Judith off her
feet, and the love triangle begins.
