Storyboard for are final design shows all are shots and what we plan to do.

Cast away

Firstly we can see straight away that the director has used eye-line match on the gift that he has received from his wife, this shot is used to show the importance of this gift and how important it is to him. The shot last 3 seconds which is quite a long time for a eye-line match bringing it back to the importance of the gift. Also we can see that when he opens the compass there is a picture of his wife and the light shines right on to her face which connotes that she is his light and guides him as well as the compass. The compass is also a enigma code and could connote that something may happen later in the film and he may need the compass.
The next edit i will comment on is when he walks off to get on the plane and then suddenly there is a cutaway shot of the lightning and rain in the dark. This cutaway shot connotes that something bad may happen because darkness represents the bad.
Then shot quickly then changes to him on a plane with a eye mask on. This shot could connote that something bad may happen because no he has his eye mask on he has no-one to guide him and he is lost because his wife is not there.
The pilot then explains that the ride will get bumpy and the editing becomes almost a montage editing we can see this because the edits become fast and the camera shots are handheld and shaky to show disturbance.

1st draft design

This is are 1st draft design; it is rough and is not up to the standard we wanted at the moment. We need to improve the lighting within the acting scene when it goes into the window and the characters is dieing on the floor; we need bright lights so the audience can see the scene correctly and it will make it more effective. We used the fish eye on some bits which made some of the scene cut of a little bit on the edges, this is bad because the camera changes from fish back to normal which may confuse the audience. The characters voice is not clear which takes the effectiveness out of the emotional scene because the audience will struggle to hear the emotion in the women's voice. Also we need to improve the music transaction where it switch's music, this will make it look more professional. As well as we need a variety of camera shots in the death scene to create panic and show this to the audience. Finally we need to dress the actors in more formal cloths which represent the characters better this will make it look more effective and show the audience what the characters are like from just there clothes. All these things we need to improve to are draft design, but we did it quick because we did not have a enough time therefore not making it up to a high standard.

Actors

we have 2 choices with are actors;

1. is mat's sister and boyfriend who are at the age of 15 and 16 therefore it might not get the emotion across to the audience of what a romantic film is meant to have. The good point about this is that mats sister goes drama school therefore we know the acting will be quite good.

2. we also have mats mum and her boyfriend who could do it; but we do not know if they are good at acting therefore are final project grade may be ruined by poor acting. The good thing about this is that it will make the film more realistic therefore getting the romantic effect across to the audience.

This decision will be made in due time and we will insert pictures and information about are actors and post it on the blog when we have made are decision.

film time

Me and mat have arranged to film the first scene today at the 26/01/10.
