- Follows a flashback of Tyrone and Lupita, one day when they were younger and enjoying themselves.
- Italian voiceover of the last voice message sent from Tyrone to Lupita, the one he sent to
Lupita before committing suicide. He felt alone, especially after the death of his parents.
- We see Tyrone and Lupita spending a day out in their favorite location, a time they were both alone with no parents, but happy.
- The voiceover takes Tyrone's perspective, speaking about he remembered this day - (sound in parallel to what's on-screen) but how he felt also, leading to the tragedy.
- Cinematic shots of them buying coffee, running around - they're slightly younger here. Mention age in voiceover for clarity.

Initial editing ideas -
Beings with a black screen and beginning 'please leave your voice message after the tone.' yellow subtitles, Italian voiceover. cut straight to the beginning scene after 1st line. When
Ending with Evan staring around, shouting Tyrone's name. Cut to black, cut to a shot of just Tyrone's eyes (like Blue Neighbourhood music video) then closing his eyes, dip to black.
Script - Some feedback notes in progression and further pointers
- Include more depth in Mise en scene, including characters' costumes, facial expressions, etc.
- More character descriptions now that the actors are finalised.

- more character description
Watching Luca Guadaningo's films - notes made
A Bigger Splash, Call me by your name and I Am Love.
- Subtle subjects that symbolise something bigger, usually with nature.
- The start scene of the man, Paul touching the woman's knee - Marriane so smoothly, the woman giving the man her sunglasses. Action's speaking louder than words - this was how the woman showed her affection to the man rather than - 'I love you,' for example.
- Long-winded shots with no sound in A Bigger Splash, similar to Call Me By Your Name, where the older boy, Oliver, walks down the stairs in appreciation, he just touches the walls and sais nothing.
- The camera stays still with a lot of long shots, lets characters play out.
- Guadaningo likes to explore the beauty of the outdoors. He uses outdoor light to portray a lot, for example in love scenes between both A Bigger Splash and Call Me By Your Name. Both scenes were filmed outside - in appreciation of nature. All 4 main characters in A Bigger Splash are naked outside, rarely inside.
- Also noted that these two films and "I am love" are part of Luca's 'desire' trilogy.
- Stylistic links - framing seems to be very important e.g in Call Me By Your Name where the camera looks at the maid cooking through a perfect square open window into the kitchen.
- Cinematic also when viewing shots that seem to start with the rule of thirds but move in and break it.
- Language speaking in CMBYN, mixing between Italian, French, German and English. The same in A Bigger Splash, English and Italian, and in I am love - Italian. Notable scene in Call me by your name when Elio's mother reads a German book and translates this into English for him and her husband.
