On Wednesday I was doing some research about my project as I wanted to find out how to represent my fourth scene accurately. I firstly viewed a list of terror attacks that had taken place on trains. Strangely enough I found out that there was an actually an explosion that took place on a Paris Metro between Notre Dame and Saint Michel in 1995. After a while, I had read many stories about terror attacks which started to make me feel a bit uneasy. Especially in light of the recent terror attack in Westminster, I've started to doubt that I still want to represent this subject matter in my project. I feel as though the topic has become to sensitive.
Subsequently, I met with Paul today to express my doubts. He completely understood my uncertainty and said it would be okay to slightly change my project. We both decided that I should change the antagonist in my story from "terrorists" to something else, possibly more metaphorical. Paul suggested that I research Marine Le Penn and the current state of French politics. This would be related to my project as I'm setting it in Paris. One of my biggest concerns was not wanting to completely start again, as I'm happy with the scenes I've created so far. Therefore I must find a way to use what I've got and change the story only slightly.
