During this lesson we observed soundtracks that could possibly fit into out running scene, with this in mind we thought about different ideas with out takes including the cast members of the group.
also with thought about abstract pieces that would not normally go with something like this.
with that we also thought that with a serious out take clip it would provided a comedic value.file:///Network/Servers/mondas.reigate.ac.uk/mw7100$/Desktop/Movie%202.mov
During this lesson we started working on our script, whilst working on our we came up with different scenarios for the characters to do, we had a few different ones and a few crazy ones but we ended up looking at other films scripts with the same genre to try and come up with ideas for it
these are some of scripts that we looked at, we went through films like American pie and Ferris Buellers, because these scripts aimed at the same audiences we aiming for.
In this lesson we presented our powerpoint presentation to the class, this was quite successful however next time we will make sure that the hyperlinks work correctly and share the speaking more equally between the group members.
In this lesson we started to plan our presentation for Thursday, this involved coming up with the name of our movie, "Wreckie". We are making a powerpoint presentation, this will present the idea of our movie, the budget, the inspiration for our movie and our synopsis.
During out forth lesson we went on a wreckie and explored our surroundings to try and find some suitable settings for our shots. a few of our ideas were that we would actually use the front of the college, because its perfectly situated, its near the station. after viewing our sites we also thought about other films that had similar, running scenes and possible soundtracks that could go with our theme.
We thought that the sweets version of ballroom blitz would be a brilliant theme tune, but for obviously copyright infringements we cannot use it, but our base track will be recorded by Freddie Bunn and his band.
In this lesson we created a synopsis for our film;
Mark Walker and James Anglim are legends in their own rights, just for their uncanny skills of deception, they have a plan, before they graduate from college, they embark on a wreckie around Reigate. they borrow a Citroen Saxo and they embark on spiritual journey to find themselves, but things go wrong, whilst in reigate one of their teachers( Dr Ferrdie Bunn)sees the boys driving off, so he decides to try follow the boys in an attempt to bring them to justice. the film comes to a climax with a fast paced scene that will surely get you on the edge of your seats.
During this lesson we began to research the idea of a teen comedy in greater detail. We devised a plan of our scene which included a running scene similar to that in "Ferris Bueller's day off".
We began to explore in more detail an idea for a script of our scene. We decided on an idea where a character would be running away from someone or something and would end up at a house (the location of this house would be one of the group members'). We would then cut to the morning after at the house, where the character would explain themselves and the beginning of the story. This would establish a main narrator in the story.
The choice of shots that we would use for this part of the scene would be an establishing shot of the house then combined with medium close ups of the character in order to understand their facial expressions and develop a unique bond with the audience of the narrator. An example of these shots and ideas are explained in the opening sequence to "Ferris Bueller's day off";
The first lesson we came together as a group, firstly we discussed the different genres we could explore. For example horror, rom-com and finally we decided to create an teen comedy. Together we came up with the name KJFM for our production company. We wanted something original, that includes all of us, and the initials of our names put together created KJFM.
After coming up with our name, we decided to go into more detail about our opening scene, Freddie then suggested Ferris Bueller's day off, after all liking the idea we started researching in more detail, we watched film clips off youtube. We liked the idea of a running sequence, because it gives a good introduction to the characters without any dialogue, and creates a sense of adventure. For more research on running scenes we looked at clips such as 'Ferris Bueller's day off' and 'The Swimmer'.
