: Maybe a little, but it depends on how deep a sense of menace you can instill during the fantasty / reality sequences. You also need to accentuate in the script about the final fantasty sequences - it isn't specified, and doesn't make sense until it's re-read a few times.
I'm thinking of shooting the flashback sequences with a colored filter. What I've got in mind for the fantasy scene is to have everything too perfect. Have Sandy sans gun and with no trace of crying or being upset. I don't know if it will work or not. If it doesn't I'll resort to a filter or some post-production effect.
: One minor gripe - the old "it's" and "its". If you're a writer, your grammar should be spot-on.
Damn skippy. I hate when others do it. I typed this out in a day rather quickly (not an excuse). I'll go back and correct it.
: Perhaps another - if we're not meant to know it's the sherrif's car until we see the badge on the door, how are you going to hide the lights on the roof? You could mention it's a sherrif's car initially, but really focus on the badge when it stops.
That really depends on what I can get for the scene. I left if minus lights because I doubt I can get a "cop car" for the shot. As it is, I think I'll use an SUV and create Sheriff stencils that go on the sides. I'm thinking more like, small town Sheriff--the one's that have their own personal vehicle.
