changes to our planning

We both decided instead of dressing the same character up, to look older in our film opening. We would use a different girl with the same shaped face and hair colour to show a strong change in character and to exaggerate on how much the character has changed since she was young. To make this work we tried not to show the younger characters face on screen alot. This also worked well as she hid her face as showed that her personality was shy and timid.

change of idea

We once again decided to change our initial idea because of timing limits and lack of people to play the parts. As our first idea was a party scene we couldn’t get enough people to make the scene realistic. At this point we decided to change our beginning and set it at 6th form. We’re using a lot of the same shots and angles from the party scene.

As the girl enters the 6th form block the camera is shown from her point of view. She looks around nervously lacking confidence. A group of girls either side are shouting abuse and looking her up and down laughing hysterically. Across the room we see a group of good looking lads whispering. One of the lads walks over striding confidently and arrogantly. Approaching the girl she tenses and looks around in amazement as he begins to talk to her. Flirting slyly, everyone else in the room stares. He reaches in to kiss and she closes her eyes waiting for the moment to happen. To her disappointment he is actually playing a cruel trick and trips her over in front of everyone. The whole room bursts out laughing.
