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.

Movie Questionnaire

This is my movie questionnaire in which I interviewed people from different age groups on different aspects of movies and films. This will help me when I come to deciding my final idea for the 2 minute opening sequence with my group. From this video i was able to find out the most popular genre of film for females between many ages was chick flicks, however, for males it was action and adventure films. I also found out what key aspects people of different ages and genders look for in a film and can now apply this to my two minute film opening.
 

Practice Filming

This is our practice filming video which was really interesting to make as we found out more about our filming equipment, camera angles and camera shots.

Unexpected Pitch

Whilst pitching our idea to my dad, I accidentally told the plot wrong and it turned into a brand new idea...

2 Minute Opening Pitch

This is our group pitch for our first idea for our final two minute opening. The idea is not completely final but it will be roughly like this!
