Weather Dependent

So my group and myself are now just waiting on the weather. We've had a few days of slight rain, but not enough for our opening. I'm hoping it snows sometime now up to the deadline. We need to really get cracking so we can edit the final draft.

First Draft

All our hard work has paid off, and it is evident from our great first draft. We will keep up the productive work and hopefully our final draft will look absolutely amazing.

First Day Of Filming

What a great start to our opening! Elisha, Alyce Megan, and I had a really successful day filming our first few bits, and I must say, it wasn't as easy as I thought it'd be. In order to achieve our shots, Megan had to CLIMB a tree, Alyce and I had to push a trolley with Megan and the camera in it, and Megan was stuck in a trolley capturing the wheel movement. We chose a perfect day to film our autumn shots as the weather was just how we wanted it to be; a bright day covered in leaves. Overall I'm thrilled with our first day of filming, and I'm looking forward to continuing with the opening.

Storyboarding

A quick run thorough of our storyboard's we've produced.

Filming Location

With great thanks to Megan, my group now have our location! Absolute amazing ideas she has come up with. P.s. such a cute dog

Song Choice

Our choice of song dilemma has now been accomplished! We wanted an upbeat song that reflects the girl on the bike making her journey to the unknown destination. My group and I came to a final decision yesterday and thought this is the perfect song. As this song is copyrighted, we will play the song through headphones.

Finalised Story Line

After a fun filled lesson discussing treatments, we came up with 3 ideas:

1) The final separation of two close friends due to University ends in tragedy as a car crash determines their future relationship.
2) 1960's themed bike ride that flashes back the main character's treacherous childhood she tries so desperately to forget.
3)Things take a turn for the worst when a girl is given shocking news about her dad on the day of her 18th birthday

We pitched our synopses to the class, with great feedback and advice on how to improve our ideas, as a group we came to the decision to alter treatment 2. We have decided to completely cut out the characters treacherous childhood, and make it a fun, quirky, exciting opening. The girl will be riding a vintage bike through a country lane with a repetitive cheesy grin on her face. We came up with the idea of different weather change in each shot, to show the continuity of the journey the girl carries out every morning. The destination of the girl will be unknown in the opening, so that means the Mise-en-scene won't change (apart from the weather of course).
