PLANNING: STORYBOARD

Here is my groups storyboard, all the ideas have been created by our whole group but Beatrice was the one who created the storyboard.

PLANNING: DIGITAL STORY BOARD

Digital Storyboard

I used a digital storyboard which is linked HERE. I decided to look into a digital Storyboard as it would be a more quick and efficient way of doing a storyboard.

However, I will not be using this as I prefer to have more freedom with the storyboard, which you have when it is written by hand.

In conclusion, finding this online storyboard was a good experience and a fun variation to the handwriting version, but I think that it is a more creative and easy to handwrite it. 

PLANNING: OUR TREATMEANT

What is a Film Treatment? 

A film treatment is a piece of prose and its the first draft of a screenplay for a Film.

WORKING TITLE: No Title 

The topline: four students A, B, C and D in need of some quick cash respond to an advert for being guineau pigs in medical research. They report to a lab and chat nervously. Soon they are prostrate on beds, in patient gowns, being injected / swallowing tablets under the watchful eye of two doctors. A cutaway shot suggests some hallucinatory experiences. The trailer cuts to student A in his /her ktichen the next morning suddenly receiving a text. The phone screen looks like a game with a challenge / task. The screen goes black. Student A feels compelled to follow the instructions. She is told to break a few laws on the way (such as steal money from her mother's handbag, snatch a scooter left on the pavement, throw a stone at a window). She is surprised at her own behaviour.

Her task is to surprise a stranger by breaking into their house. She finds that the stranger's house belongs to person B. They exchange greetings. A text arrives simultaneously on both their phones, instructing them with the next task. This one is harder. It involves persuading someone to take a high-level selfie. The screen goes black. They carry out the task. The person falls to their death and they realize that they are in the power of a mind control drug.

The big question: will the students resist the mind control drug before further challenges cause further traumas?

PLANNING: TRELLO

In October, we started planning our production. I created a Trello (click here) to help me keep my planning on track. I will update it as I progress.
