Planning

    We have developed an outline for our film intro and the storyboard is in progress. The overall idea is for a romantic comedy film introduction set in the 1980s. We have decided to take inspiration from various 80s, 90s, and 2000s romcoms for our shooting and editing techniques. I got inspiration from the movie Mean Girls for a split-screen. 

   

    The idea is that the two main characters share the screen in the beginning and then the screen takes turns showing each of their perspectives and lives.  

• Black screen (A something something production)

Examples: 

• Split-screen of Ricky and April talking to their friends on the phone “no I don't want you to set me up w someone”
• The guy's screen takes over to show stuff in his room
• Split-screen
• Girl Screen takes over “okay bye” at the same time
• Tracking shot showing boy walking out of the room and taking skateboard w him

Examples: 

             

• POV shot of girl getting ready to get on her bike
• Tracking shot of girl biking
• Shot of boy skating and he is getting closer to the camera as shot continues
• Girl with a friend reading on sand or getting in the water
• Boy dabbing up friends
• Split-screen “I am going to go get some drinks.” ; “I am getting some snacks, do you?”
• Walk past each other
• Name of production
• "Oh wait wrong way" and he runs back in her direction
• Bump into each other? At the snack shack? (We might call the film The Love Shack)

Examples: 

                

Well, that is all for today! Write to you guys later!
