School bag

All thes images above are of props that we might have in our film. The above keyboard is how we might display one of our names, as you can see, it says my name "Rupert" at the moment.

T 26 The Cast

For our movie opening we only have 1 main character, which we have chosen to be Niona Kyhle-Kahr, we have chosen to use her as we think that she would be able to act out the characters role very well.

 

For when we are filming the bathroom scene we will use 5 other girls to be in the background, who have not yet been decided.



T 25: Risk assessment

1. Slipping over in the bathroom, this could be due to slippery floors, to ensure this doesn't happen we need to all take extra care whilst walking around in there.

2. Falling down the stairs, someone may accidentally miss a step and fall down the stairs, so we need to make sure that we watch where we are going at all times.

3. Burning hands in the water from the sinks, so we need to make sure that the water is at a good temperature.

4.Whilst the lights are off at the beginning, someone may walk into things, therefore need to all take care at all times.

5. Niona may trip up whilst she's putting on her tights, she must take extra care, or sit down whilst putting them on.

6. The camera we use may get hot so we need to ensure that if it does, we turn it off and do not put it on anything that could set on fire.

 

 

T 24: Location shots

Together we have chosen where we are going to shoot our opening.

1. Niona will wake up in her bedroom in Plewlands House, we decided to use this location because it is a nice girly room which would be very appropriate for our film.

2. We will use the corridor in Plewlands as she is walking to the bathroom.

3. One of the Plewlands bathroom/ shower room.

4. The stairs in Plewlands, walking down them.

5. Walking out of the main Plewlands doors to outside.

 

 

T 20: This is my storyboard to show the steps that will be taken throughout our film intro.

T 18: Story arc

 Here is a story arc for our film, with what happens throughout the whole film.

1. Our film starts with a girl waking up in the morning to her alarm going of. She gets out of her bed and has a worried look on her face, this stays on her face as she gets ready for school, getting into her uniform, brushing her teeth etc.

2. The girl leaves the house and we see her walking to lessons, still looking very worried. When she arrives at lessons she sits at the back of the class next to her best friend who has a concerned look on her face. 

3. The lesson begins and her best friend says to her 'I'm really sorry, but you know what you told me last night, well I told someone.' The girl looks shocked as her secret has now been revealed, she looks up to see all her class mates who are giving her very strange and shocked looks, with the odd giggles in the background. 

4. Time passes and later we find out that her secret is that she likes girls, her friends treat her very weirdly throughout the rest of the film and by the end they ignore her and don't want anything to do with her. 

5. She begins to get called names and she really hates it so, she decides to tell her mum, who is very understanding and takes her out of her school and sends her to a new boarding school... and the film ends with her starting her new school and trying to be normal.
