Instead of having the opening sequence as the girl walking through a forest and finding a dead body, it could start with a transition from credits to the camera slowly panning round the pictures of her family in her house along with the credit names of the actors and then it will go straight into the rest of the film. She will shout "bye mum" and then walk out the front door where she will meet her friend and they will go on a normal day out walking around and talking about things. At this point, the music is up beat and almost fun. They continue to talk and we hear their conversations about school life and parties, just as any other teenage girls. As they walk around the camera will take shots of them at different angles and some will show how the girl is talking to herself as she walks around with no one by her side, leaving the audience with the interpretation that the girl is a ghost.
I have developed my idea from the film 'The Sixth Sense' where a little boy has the ability to see dead people and his psychiatrist who befriends him is in fact dead but does not know that he is.
Another production which impacted my idea was the TV series 'River' where a detective has a partner who he believes is alive but was killed and is not shown from different angle as he walks with her
The TV series, 'Ghost Whisperer' has also allowed me to develop my idea as she comes across ghosts all the time in her daily encounters and sometimes she does not even realise that they are ghosts.
