Synopsis for Chance Meeting

Continuity Sequence

‘Chance Meeting’ stars Ellie and Holly as two best friends from college. Ellie, a well-known student at Wyke Sixth Form College, is walking towards her first lesson of the day. Ellie is seen passing many students whom she is friends with while interacting with them and also making her way through the college. She makes her way up the stairs towards to first floor where she spots Holly, a good friend walking towards her. As she socialises with Holly she compliments her peers’ jewellery, a fine necklace in which Holly explains is from Topshop. This exchange shows the audience the nature and type of person Ellie is.
