We have decided to name our protagonist Cam (short for Camilla) because then its easy to refer to her as Cam. We decided to call the guy Conor, as his name is Conor. We decided to call the freind Jo, as she has a very masculine look voice and seems like the sort of person to be called Jo, we hope this will be portartyed by Charlotte who was the bully in our last film. Cam will confide in Jo about the fact that she is being domestically abused by her partner. We had a few ideas like the fact that she could be engaged and she throws her ring into a fire, which is also burning the other things that Conor had given her. However we decided to scrap this idea because we do not look the physical age to be engaged and it will overcomplicate the story. We have to rember that this is not a film but a music video and so the story has to be less complex but we also have to make the audeince feel attached to the charecter. We have also decided upon a new idea, that the first shot is a flashback of Cam and Conor arguing as before and she runs out (as before) but she runs for longer, and runs past places where first her and Conor ard happy. Then when theyre breaking apart, and finally where she confesses to her freind about the abuse. Then Cam will trip over and fall into the white room, so the song is 4:15 long and so I predict that 3 minuites will be her running and with the long flashbacks. This has to be done as these are very important and will have dialouge, the betrayal especially and we will need a lot of pauses to create the best effect. Then the white room stays the same, with only very small flashabcks, each being about 5 seconds long, and maybe a long one when we had the idea that Cam gets angry and pushes a glass full of milk of the end of a table, and it smashes in slow motion. Because even though the white room scene will look very impressive and very good, its can become very long and very boring very easily, and the flashabcks are more important story wise. We also chose to do this as it gives Bubbles more freedom when it comes to set dressing and me more oppourtunties when it comes to costume or make-up, as im still un decided. With this new idea im leaning more towards comstume now, whereas before because it was in the white room make up would be more important so now I have decided to do costume, but still show her domestic abuse through make up. However what I may do, is focus upon the two when making and logging the proscess along with being marked for my editing, and ask the teachers advice on what would be best at the end. So im sorry if you get confused abput what 2 expressions I am studying, for now its Editing costume and make up.
I really like the underpass photographs. A great location.Is there moving image on the blog? Can't get it if there is.
