Updated Shot List

We used our initial shot list to create an updated version after we had discussed what shots we wanted, exactly where we wanted them. Creating an updated version allows us to feel more ready to film as we know the details that we need.

Shot list

This is the draft of our shot list that we came up with whilst having our initial discussion about the general locations for filming, breaking each down shot by shot so that we could try and work out how much filming we had to do in each location and therefore plan a day for filming.

We have currently established two main locations Croydon and London for where we want filming to take place. Looking at each of the locations we have planned that each location will be easy to reach and can hopefully be done within two days and then we will allow time for re filming if required, however we wish to film in a variety of ways to allow us to have lots of footage to work with.

We will go over this again soon and create a more detailed shot list that includes more information that we will then use during filming.

Storyboarding

Here is the storyboard for our trailer

Script

During the opening and the closing of our trailer, we have decided that we want to have a voice over that sounds like a voicemail. The voicemail will be left by Alexia and it is unclear who it is to. We decided that we will not give too much information about Alexia's situation during the voicemail but will present her feeling lost and alone with the idea that her life has changed.

I have written a draft script for the voice over that I will then discuss with Mia  what emotions I want her to express and record her and see how it sounds.

In the voiceover, we want Alexia to sound quite exhausted and scared, as if she has left on an impulse ((dispense))) and is unsure of what to do next.

Film Titles

Deciding on the name for our film was quite a long process as we felt that we had to decide the right name for the film as the title would be one of the first things that the audience would see in the poster and also what should stick in the audiences mind after watching the trailer.

 The name of the film should be intriguing for the audience as some of our audience may decide to either watch the film or not solely based on their opinion on the name of the film.

Therefore when choosing the name of our film, we wanted to make sure we had asked a selection of our target audience to obtain their opinion.

Film Names

This is a brainstorm of ideas for names that we came up with for our film:

These were some of the names we came up with, however we found that some of these names had already been used (highlighted) for other films using IMDB (source:http://www.imdb.com/) therefore we couldn't use these for our film. This narrowed our choice to three:

• Alexia - the name of our protagonist
• Trial - introduces the idea of the fact that they were an experiment
• We are the Others - highlights some of the characters and the idea of unity 

As we didn't mind using any one of these names we decided to ask a sample of our target audience to see which they preferred.

This is a bar graph based on our results. We asked 20 people altogether and the most liked name was 'We are the Others' therefore we decided to use this for our film.

'The Others'

"The Others" are genetically engineered characters in our film. I have created a mind map to explain these characters further as they are a key element to our storyline and genre as well as our protagonist being classified as one of them also.
