Music research: emailing Universal.

Before I could use the Nina Nesbitt for the end of my short film, I decided that it would be best that I emailed the production company of the song, Universal, to ask for permission.

Week 4

Character profile: Erika Bruce

As well as the main character, I wanted to have a character that would be frequently shown throughout the film that would be in close connection with the main character. I decided that I wanted her to have a friend group that will put the flowers down at her grave at the end, and to help the audience understand what the plot of the storyline actually is. I wanted to have a main friend from the group that the audience will constantly see and recognise, so introducing Erika Bruce!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actress: Rachel Mullen

Character: Erika Bruce, the main character's best friend

Height: 5ft 2.5

Hair colour: Blonde

Eye colour: Blue

 Character personality: This character's personality is very different to the main character's, as she is a lot more outgoing and has a bubbly personality, and is very sociable. Her personality will be displayed quite a bit throughout the film when the camera shows the main characters group of friends talking and laughing without her.

 



Character profile: Alice Marley

In order to make my short film, I decided that I would introduce the audience to the two main characters that will be seen in the film. First up is the main character; Alice Marley.

 

 

 

Actress: Laura Bruce

Character: Alice Marley

Height: 5ft6

Hair colour: Dark brown

Eye colour: Blue eyes

I feel as though she is the perfect fit for the main character in my film, and would be able to portray the emotions involved in the film.

Character personality: The personality of the character is portrayed as less outgoing than her group of friends and quite shy, however the character's personality won't be portrayed in the film as much are her friends will, due to the plot of the story.



Storyboards: part three.

These are the next two storyboards for my short film.

 

 

In these two storyboards, I have planned and detailed the classroom scene from my short film. In this scene, she enters the classroom to go through her normal lesson and when the teacher asks the class if anybody has any questions, the main character puts her hand up. The teachers fails to acknowledge that she has a question, and instructs the class to get on with their work and goes back to his desk. The following shot captures her reaction to being ignored.



Storyboards: part two.

These are the following three storyboards for my short film.

 

In this storyboard, I have outlined the scene in which the main character is walking to school. On her journey, she comes across her two friends whom she would normally walk to school with. They end up walking past her despite her attempt to tell them to wait for her and they ignore her, with the following shot capturing her confused reaction.

In this storyboard, I have then outlined a scene in which the main character walks into her common room and goes to sit down next to her friends. She verbally greets her friends as she walks in, but again they don't acknowledge her.

This storyboard follows on from the previous scene, and shows her reactions to her friends ignoring her.
