PLANNING: UPDATE

In the lesson today, I have been talking with my peers about the upcoming film trailer that are going to publish in due course. The handy tool of Google docs has enabled us to jot down our ideas and they are running smoothly.

MY TRAILER PLANNING: TRELLO AND STORYBOARDS

During the month of October, I shall be planning my official movie trailer alongside my peers. I am going to create a Trello, which will show the requirements I need to meet before the 31st October. Below will have a link to my Trello:

MY TRAILER PLANNING: TRELLO

STORYBOARDS:

BRAINSTORMING AND RESEARCH FOR MY TREATMENT

Today in class, I have been looking at the future learn website and I watched a presentation about planning my treatment by Frank Ash, Creative Consultant who has taught storytelling and creativity techniques to teams across the BBC an beyond, it is important to focus on the audience: what will interest the audience? How will the narrative develop?

"So, if you're aiming for your film to reach a large audience online, making sure it has universal appeal will be key. We’ll be thinking about this in more practical terms later in the week, but let’s bring Frank Ash’s points together with the last step’s concerns. 

• Think about your favourite book or film or any 'good story' you recently watched online, could you sum up its narrative into 'on elegant sentence' to provide its 'top line' 
• What was its big story question, and how important was it to your appreciation of the text?'

We will aim to define our treatment: 

• The top line in our film trailer is the main protagonist is trying to avenge the death of his deceased relative. The protagonist is struggling to cope with the unfortunate event of the death. The thesis behind this concept is that karma comes to collect, no matter how slim the evidence is. This is a valuable lesson in everyday life and this will connect the audience because the majority of people will have witnessed karma in some form. The only course of action is brute force and he is in such moral turmoil, he has made it his life's mission to bring justice to an unjust occurrence. 

• The big question is will the protagonist succeed in his life's mission or will he plant the seeds of his own demise? 

I am going to practice looking at the narrative to provide its top line looking at various movies which would suit this disposition.
I also am going to look at the big story question and how it is important to the text. 

On screen text: WHAT IS THE STORY?

As we begin to tell them a story, the first question is going to be, what is this story? What's it all about? What kind of a story is it? What's the issue, the content that this story is going to be dealing with?

A good way of finding answers is to begin to think about can you synthesise and focus your story into one beautiful, elegant sentence. It's often called a top line.

On screen text: WHOSE STORY IS IT?

The second point, which is really important, is to give them a sense of what the big story question is. What's going to happen? will they win? Will they lose?.
