Story Telling: Initial Ideas so far




My Ideas so far

For some reason, after hearing the brief, I immediately knew that I wanted my theme to be a Drama. I somehow couldn't shake the idea of the classic boy meets girl for the first time motif. However, I don't want my screen play to be the typical love story, I want to add a twist somehow. 

I was thinking of showing the preparations each character must make before they see each other. and by showing the differences in setting and contrasting preparations, it would give subtle hints about what the characters are like. 

So far I'm thinking about showing the contrast between how they've met and how they've become.

I would repeat that until I was happy with the thickness. In the same tutorial, she moulded teeth for her zombie and I thought it would've been cool to do the same. For this, I had to bite d

Rosie is our presenter and she was required to talk towards the camera but in a conversational, informal way.  She sat down and familiarised herself with the lines whilst we set up the kit. Our plans for the promo video consisted of getting shots of each member of the team, being fun, stylish and we also wanted to have close ups of make up to go along with the fashion trends that our channel is about. Here is an image of our set up whilst we filmed for the promo vid How was the set up? For our shooting we used a PMW, 4 LED lights, and a tripod. We just used the directional mic that came with the PMW for sound as it would be good enough.  So as we set up the kit  we realised that we were not given stands for the lighting and so we had to improvise. We used the chairs that were in the room, stacked them up and imitated the effect of lighting stands.
