Journey Development

This lecture consisted of doing another journey however this time it had to be longer and more thought had to put into the pre production. We could've developed the idea from last week, however we chose to produce a brand new idea. 

This is  some of our brainstorm:

• Train
• Relationship
• Book
• Moving
• Life experience 
• Emotions
• Car
• Funny
• Travel 
• Item

Our final idea was a journey of a can of pop, this consisted of making the cans "come to life". I was looking forward to doing this. As a group we decided what we needed to be in the minute long film. For this particular film we needed to cans of pop. One of the problems which we came across was the choice of the different cans, as we needed a boy and a girl. We was going to use coke and diet coke for the girl. However we finally decided on tango orange and apple. As last week we didn't spend enough time on the storyboard, we sat down and run through what we needed to do.

These are our frames:

•  Someone buying a can
• Drinking it 
• throwing it away
• rolls towards another can
• three of scenes of the cans together in love
• feet walking towards the cans (cans point of view) 
• a foot stepping down on one can
• a black shot
• one cans have been crushed whilst the other is sad

We used the university as our location, including the cafe, the smoking area, and a fore court. As a group we decided to add expressions on the cans to show emotions. Because otherwise the shots would be stiff, as we couldn't add any music. However I felt the stickers added emotion well even though it was very basic. 

The hardest part of this production was getting the cans to roll to each other. We had to redo this scene several times, as we was editing in camera. Also we was going to do four scenes of the cans together but we remembered the rule of three, the viewer expects something to happen in the fourth scene. However overall I thought this particular production went really well, I feel more comfortable with the camera and the frames. I'm looking forward to producing my own film.
