Storyboard

In todays media lesson we focused on planning out our film teaser so that we could finish our storyboard. We looked at other teasers, such as Toy Story 3, 2012, Blair Witch Project and Twilight, to see where they had placed the institutions, such as 'Universal'. We found that in all of the teaser trailers we had watched, that they were at the opening, and so decided that we would carry on this feature in our own teaser trailer. We decided that we would use Universal, as after completing some research, we found that this was the most popular for the rom-com genre. We also decided that we would also use the institutions that we created ourselves in year 12, mine, Mercedes' and Hayley's being Jellyfish Productions, and Alex's being Wolf Productions. These would be after the film certificate, lasting a few seconds each. After this we planned a clip of our couple taking pictures together outside of the cinema. We decided this would be a good way to introduce the couple to our audience, and to show them as being happy together. The pictures they're taking will also be used later in the teaser trailer, and this will show continuity. After this clip of our happy couple, we feel that there should be come text, a question, to provoke the audiences thought, and to show them that all is not as it seems in the first clip. Next we decided that there should be a montage of our male character doing various clumsy things from the moment where he wakes up, which would then lead to the next clip at the school dance, where his girlfriend breaks up with him and he has to win her back. We have decided to take the photos for the poster and the magazine cover before Christmas and to leave the filming until we come back from the holidays. Next lesson we need to complete our storyboard, create our animatic and to organise taking the photos.
