Breakdown of our developed idea

Taking into account all of our feedback, we worked together as a group to come up to describe the full narrative sequence: 

1. The scene will open with the man starting to play vinyl on a record player (an isolated classical cello solo. CARMEN, Act I: V. Habanera, Bizet? style) which will shift to a non-diegetic soundtrack through either a rest in the music - this could also alternatively start from the beginning digitally should editing be an issue. 

2. The man then walks over to the plants in his greenhouse, pours hot water from a kettle into a tea cup.

3. He puts on nitrile, medical gloves. He then proceeds to pull out a small zip-lock bag containing many holly berries (20+ are the amount that are required to cause fatality). 

4. He uses tweezers to place each one into a mortar and uses a pestle to crush them. 

5. In an addition shot it can be seen that the man drops water using a pipette into the crushed berry mixture.

6. A different shot then reveals the woman tied up to a chair with zip ties and padded handcuffs with a funnel duct taped to her mouth (this can be done through a pan). She is struggling.

7. The man pours the mixture into the woman’s mouth. She chokes on it.

8. The scene finishes with her frothing at the mouth, and her body/hands going limp after struggling.
