Todays lesson 26/1/12

Today we Sequenced a number of a clips from our recording last week, so that we are able to sequence our next clips asap after recording tomorrow.

Music Change

We are adding this music instead of the other one because we have come to the decision that this is more relaxed and suits the ASD of our piece

Amended screenplay

Black screen

(Typewrite Effect)

London

9:00am

12th May 2012

London Southbank, Daylight, London eye fully active

London city shown from various places

Shabby character, ragged clothing.

Clearly a tramp.

Character across the road behind moving crowd.

ANONYMOUS CHARACTER (NARRATIVE VOICE)

“How's a guy like me meant to make a living around here?

It's every man for himself and only the lucky ones have a chance of getting anywhere in life.

Nowadays you can go from being a nobody, to being feared by everybody.

Me? I'm the kinda guy that had a chance.”

London

9:00am

12th June 2012

London city, morning, broad daylight

Neatly presented character.

Wearing a suit with slicked hair holding a suitcase.

ANONYMOUS CHARACTER (NARRATIVE VOICE)

And him? He's the kinda guy that took that chance.

It's not for me to judge but it look like he's a damn sight better off than me.

To get rich, and make it big, you've got to want it.

The people you know determine who you'll be.

Cos' this is a tale of Rags to Riches and how a guy like me made it in a day.

We have changed the date, because we have chosen to make the film be about a man making it in a month not a day, and also, we have noticed that our screenplay looks like it's going to be a short sequence.

Filming Research

We have come across the problem of picture quality, deciding as a group that the cameras provided will not give us the desired effect we need to film our sequence to make it look professional.

Instead, we tried to record with my iPhone, to check the picture quality, and we have decided that we may or may not use this on the day.

Problem

The biggest problem about our production process is finding an actor, at the moment we are struggling to find a suitable male actor to play the part of our leading male.

Therefore we are finalising our planning, and making sure that we are ready to film effectively.

Storyboard

This is the storyboard we created as a group.

I did the drawings
Dean did the Audio/SFX column
Damian did the directions column

we are going to make changes to this to correct the final pages, and make them clearer.

Damian Media & Co

I created this intro for our production company, as with a professional intro our sequence will seem to have been made more professionally.

FP Song Choice

At the moment we have chosen this video for our foundation portfolio sequence, we believe that it will have the appropriate ambience to make the scene interesting and serious at the same time. However we may decide to change this during the editing stages.

Shot list

Shot List

Establishing shot of London city. Panning across viewing southbank.

Low angle long shots of various buildings in London.

Long shot across the road from the tramp. Clip sped up to show time passing while monologue is spoken.

Tracking shot from behind the well dressed man.

Low angle shots from the side so his face isn't completely visible.

Shots of his hands, tie, suitcase, all whilst walking through London.


We will use this when recording our sequence, alongside with our storyboard, to reduce filming time, and soften out the production process.

This screenplay was created as a group, and we all contributed evenly to ensure that our final sequence was what we all wanted.

Final Monologue

How's a guy like me meant to make a living around here?
It's every man for himself and only the lucky ones have a chance of getting anywhere in life.
Nowadays you can go from being a nobody, to being feared by everybody.
Me? I'm the kinda guy that had a chance.


And him? He's the kinda guy that took that chance.
It's not for me to judge but it look like he's a damn sight better off than me.
To get rich, and make it big, you've got to want it.
The people you know determine who you'll be.
Cos' this is a tale of Rags to Riches and how a guy like me made it in a day.

This is our final monologue that we have decided on. We believe the story behind it is fitting to our sequence, and would appeal to a wider audience. We also believe that the cliffhanger the intro is left on, makes the viewer want to watch on, to see how this happens
