'A Cinderella Story'

The narrative Structure of 'A Cinderella Story' shows the times of a character when she was younger. Opening with 'Onve upon a time'. It then switches to show a high contrast between her life now and her life then. It uses contrasts between her and the other characters, her 'ugly step-sisters' and also uses a voice over to tell the story of her life.
It completely contrasts the whole perfect idea of a fairytale.
It then switches to modern day life, where she is forced to be a 'slave' for her sisters and step-mum. This slave like tendancy is shown by having orders given by the 3 women, he scrubbing the floors and cleaning up. It is very effective as the contrasts are shown very clearly.

Whilst the past/present contrast isn't what you are aiming at, you could look at how this contrast is created/ signalled and how you could use some of these ideas. Could also focus on how teh text message ideas are filmed?? (Mrs D)
