Background Info


If you have read my previous blog on my coursework for my short film opening 'Black Sands', then you will probably know that I tend to write a long backstory to go with the entire plot of the short film I am about to produce. This is the background info for the plot line of 'Halfbreed'.

The background information surrounding the plot revolves around the characters of Melodie and Sienna. The nymphs or woodland folk are led by a single line of royal blood taking it's roots all the way to the first ever woodland folk. After the passing of the Woodland King his crown fell to his eldest heir and only son, Melodie and Sienna's father. However, he broke the woodland law after he fell in love with a mortal woman. He was framed as a traitor by his own people and his younger sister became the Woodland Queen. She punished her brother brutally until he escaped, enraging his sister. In attempt to punish her brother further, the Woodland Queen took her niece, Melodie as her prisoner when Melodie was still a child. She punished Melodie until the girl obeyed her every command and Melodie's mother attempted to escape and find Melodie's father. Also framed as a traitor, Melodie's mother was executed on the spot in front of Melodie herself.

In the mortal world, Melodie's father married a mortal woman who bore him another daughter named Sienna. The two sister's existed without ever knowing of the other's existence but when Sienna turned nine their father was murdered by the Woodland Queen's men who learnt of Sienna's existence and set about the path of destruction when it resulted with the Woodland Queen sending Melodie to capture Sienna years later.
