Inspiration

This is the scene from the film 'Friends With Benefits' that inspired our idea to film in the train station. Our idea is not really similar to this clip but this is where the idea evolved from.

Filming Landmarks In London

These are some of the landmarks that we plan to film in London for the flashing images at the beginning of our two minute film opening.

Our New Idea

After much discussion, many heated debates and lots of changing plans, we have finally decided on our final idea.

Changing Our Idea

Since we began filming for our idea, we decided that the footage we produced was not good enough for what we wanted. Therefore we have decided to change our idea as it was causing us a lot of problems that we didn't consider before hand and they idea was becoming more and more complicated every time we discussed it. We talked about just changing the idea a little bit, but we decided a complete change was needed. We have a few ideas involving things we didn't realise we had access to, i.e. Emily's dad's taxi, and we now just need to chose the best idea.

Music Idea

Our group were trying to figure out how to add copyrighted music into our film when Tara came up with this idea.

Running Practice Filming

Before we start filming for our final film, we decided that it would be a good idea to use one lesson to practise filming shots of people running. This is so that we had an idea of what we needed to film, including the shots and angles that we want to use, when we start filming to ensure we are using our time productively on the day.

Final Idea

For our final idea we have decided that at the beginning you will see the back of a hooded man making a ransom letter. Then it will switch to the shot of a professional, glamourous woman returning home from work wearing sophisticated clothing. She will then find the letter but before opening it she will carry with her everyday routine e.g getting wine out of the fridge. When she finally opens the letter she drops the wine and runs and you will see the letter fall slowly and piece of the ransom left behind. You will then see her running across millennium bridge and lady smith football grounds because we think these settings will suit the story line best. While she is running, we thought it would be effective to have flashbacks of her troubled past and towards the end of the run she will have returned to her old, drug-abusing self. 
If this was to turn into a feature length film it would tell the story of what happened to the girl in order for her to be in this situation, i.e her bad past with drugs.
