What use is being made of: familiar settings

The setting of a caravan isn't too familiar. However, it is a family who is living within, so a family environment is familiar. familiar rituals the special occasion of an anniversary is very familiar, as it is a yearly tradition almost. Also, the situation of a family member behaving badly (namely a child) is definitely familiar.

Does the story encompass a single moment/event? Describe it The story encompasses the single event of an anniversary.

Are the stakes high enough? Explain The stakes are high as this is a special occasion, therefore it means more to the couple than if they were just having a normal dinner. The event of a special occasion makes the occurrence of the TV a more severe matter.

Is the film doable on a zero budget? No. unfortunately to get such material things as a caravan is difficult, so i have had to resort to hiring one. I must also buy specific props relevant to the story. And i feel it only right that the actors are payed for the inconvenience of having to stay in a caravan over the weekend in the winter.
