Final Story Board

StoryBoards

Here are a couple of pictures of our new, updated (final) storyboards which we had to redo due to a change in shots. Hopefully an image of each individual page will be uploaded soon.

Storyboards

Today I am finishing off the storyboards, just finishing some last minute details. So I will hopefully be able to scan them in and upload them either tonight or tomorrow.

Fingers are crossed for tomorrow for filming

Nat

Audition notification

Luckily we got some very enthusiastic responses from the year twelve drama students and so I comprised this email and Helena found the names of those that responded and sent them all this e-mail...





So hopefully a few will turn up and we will have our final actors by next week to start filming asap.

Today in media Helena and I wrote a formal shot list for Nat to use to draw the storyboard. The two of us took half of the storyboard each to write in the descriptions for each shot and so hopefully will have it completed by next week. Jack's now in charge of questionnaire results and data so just a note to him; people have responded to the questionnaire of my facebook so feel free to include my results to draw up a conclusion.

Finally

Hello,
I have finally got the blog log on in to work so this is my first ever post with my new group.
I have been working on the narrative for the last couple of the days with my group and I am going to post our current concept below.

A girl is all alone in a playground by herself, she will be filmed in many different angles and then swinging on the swing. As she is at the highest point of the swing a second girl will appear. Each time the swing reaches the highest point then the second girl will appear closer and closer each time until Girl A stops singing and speaks to Girl B.
During their conversation we will play a voice over recorded by Girl A's mother saying to her "I wish you had more friends".
We will show the girls becoming friends until a change happens. This will be signified by a change in music and faster cuts. This will be teasing towards what is wrong with girl B. Ideas that we have had for this section includes, Girl A looking into a mirror and Girl B being there and when Girl A turns around Girl B has disappeared. Finally the climax will be the final scene in which Girl B walks into the sea in a way which does not appear right. The song will change right at the end so that it will be a rendition of the nursery rhyme 'Mary Mary'. The idea is that Girl B is actually dead and is not as she appears.
That is the basic narrative, we are planning to film extra scenes because we found last year that we did not have enough footage.

Currently at school, Stef and I wrote a preliminary storyboard with which Nat is now creating the version that we will film with. Tommorow Stef and I are auditioning some year 9's for the role of the two girls.

Helena

Update

We have a final plot all decided, which Helena will blog about soon as she's having a few problems logging in right now. However, we are currently storyboarding, for which Nat is doing the drawings and Helena and I will help her with the writing and description of each shot.
As for actors, Helena and I are hosting auditions with a few year nine girls from our school tomorrow. We are going to supply them with a script to read infront of us to see their confidence and see who's right for which role. Our group has also decided to audition some year twelve theatre students to see which age group would work better for our teaser trailer.
All of us are also gonna load up the questionnaire Jack mentioned onto our Facebooks to try and get as many responses as we can.
