Original Story Synopsis, Character Profiles and Film Details.

The story is about three sisters, who whilst on the same funfair ride, undergo two completely different experiences due to the way the ride perceives their personalities and the direction it thinks they could go in life.

The twins embark on a negative ride to show them the way their lives are heading, whilst in contrast, the youngest sibling enjoys a positive ride.

The journey the youngest embarks on, will only be shown in brief clips, to allow the audience knowledge of what is happening to her, but mainly to provide contrasting images to the twins journey, allowing the building of tension and humour.

Character profiles:

Lee is the twin sister of Cho, and is the slightly older twin by 1hour and 40 mins. The leader of her sisters, she is bold, confident and tough. She is also bossy and likes to get her own way.

Although the best by far at inventing games for her and her sisters to play, Lee often takes a sick pleasure in creating dares or going places that she knows will scare her sisters as she feels this increases her authority over them. These adventures often lead the sisters into trouble.

Cho looks up to Lee and goes along with her plans even if she feels uncomfortable with them.

Outwardly grouchy and reserved, she secretly feels inferior to Lee who is thin and pretty and constantly feels frumpy and thick. Most of this insecurity is brought out on Kitty with jibes about her headbrace and unfashionable clothes.

Being the youngest, she often gets bossed about by her older sisters. Not fussed about her appearance and quite happy to wear a headbrace, even to the embarrassment of her sisters, Kitty is quite happy being the oddball of the family.

Because of her head brace, her mouth is constantly in a smile, although it can be relaxed slightly. This adds humour, especially when she is scared, and all her emotions have to be conveyed through her eyes.
