6. • As a pair, we figured a romance will be extremely
hard to pull off however we also realised that if
filmed and edited well with a good story line, it
would be a great success.
• As the director, I felt I would be able to relate more
to a romance thus adding to the reason as to why we
chose a the genre.
• Many things inspired us when coming up with the
idea, such as “Sliding Doors”, “Just My Luck” and
“About Time”; even real life situations that I had
found myself to be in allowed me to add on to the
ideas.
