3. Narrative Structure
 The classic narrative pattern within our film is that a lonely
girl is being constantly bullied at school and outside where
she cannot take it any long resulting in suicide.
 Crossing cutting and flashbacks have been key in our editing
strategy along with the narrative as we cut between when
she is at home and school, bringing in flashbacks reminding
the audience of the torment.
 In real time Mary could not handle the stress any
longer, leaving to suicide, at the end of the narrative we leave
it on an ellipsis as will she or wont she...

coping with nobody helping her.
