Lesson Two 06/01/09

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";
