A meeting with a difference

We had all met up on the 22.11.11 to talk about our projects together. We started to talk about our recent film project which i had created a story board for. Since Lauren wasn't there we had to explain the brief and show the storyboard and shot list to her so we all worked together as a team. She could then write out the treatment for the film through what we had shown her.

We then talked about the various things we need to do for the film. I suggested that at the end of the film we should do a shot of us from behind on the bench as this would make an eye-catching view. we talked about what clothes we were going to wear for the child part. Laura suggested wearing her hello kitty jumper and i said that i would wear a standard blue jumper as i didn't have anything child-like but this looked closest to a school jumper or something. I had planned to get some bracelets to represent friendship bracelets but i wasn't able to buy any in the end. Luckily Lauren had some similar looking bracelets that we used which actually turned out to be a better idea in the end as they were bigger and easier to see when filmed. lastly we talked about the length of each shot, we all agreed that the walking scenes would be shorter than the rest as they were just to show that we were walking towards the same place but just missing each other. We all felt like we were organized enough to start filming on wednesday. I found this talk really helpful, we had obviously been emailing but to meet in person just brought everything together. All our ideas were out in the open and we then decided on a definite plan of action.

We briefly discussed our progression of the spam project. I said that i had done some research and rough ideas but needed to draw up some ideas in colour. Laura said that she was going to base her idea on the phrase 'Spam  the ham that can!' i loved this idea and thought i would be a great idea to use this in my poster designs to link all our ideas together.

overall a really helpful meeting!

here is the story board i brought to the meeting-

I found it quite hard to create these as its hard to picture what you want in your head and then put it onto paper not only that but its even harder to draw what my group imagine. There were quite a few frames but i got it done in the end. My group seemed happy with what i had done, Lauren had said she liked the second to last image as she didn't think of that angle. Its funny how we all imagine different things. I did talk it through before hand and lauren gave me a sheet with all the shots written down before i started so i think its pretty well planned! :)
