1st Draft for our main project and things that we need to add and change.

This is our very first draft for our final idea. So far we managed to collect the footage for the first part of our film. We edited all the footage we had;
*We went through all of our footage and picked out the parts with the best shots in, we wanted to ensure that we had a wide range of camera angles and shot types.
*We then thought about which shots linked together and what order we should place the shots so they fitted well together as we wanted it to be very flowing,
* We decided because it was set in the 'dream world' we wanted the lighting to be surreal, for this we added lots of saturation to the clips and this gave the footage a nice dreamy effect.
* Then we decided that we wanted some of the footage to be slower than it was to add a more dreamy effect, unfortunately the school computers didn’t provide us with all the effects that we wanted as it is a really basic programme and didn’t allow us to explore the different techniques that we wanted. So as a group we decided to use a more complex programme and work from there, the programme is called....................................... (This programme also provided us with a rewind effect aswell as the speed up effect that we wanted to use at the end, to make it seam like she’s having a flash back of the dream shes just had.)
*We then experimented with different transitions and discusses what effects we though looked best. The transition weffect we choose was fade in as it made the footage have more dreamy effect.

Things to add to our draft.

*Adding the music that we have chosen.
* Titles
* Inbetween the slowmotion footage and the fast rewinded footage we want to add an edited scene from.............. where it goes into the human eye and then add the rewinded footage to make it seem like a flashback.
*After this (eye) scene we are going to add some video footage of the girl waking up.
Mise-En-Scene (for the waking up scene)
* For our opening we discussed and really looked into the mise-en-scene because we wanted the two parts (the dream and the waking up) to be very different from each other showing juxtapostion. I think this would be good as it would show the audience the differences of the dream (serial) world juxtaposed with the reality of the girls life.
*After this discussion we decided that we wanted the girl waking up in a very plain, small room because this is the total oppsite of the dream she had just been in, this would connote that the dream world is the only place she can be free and happy (mainly shown by the bright serial colours) juxtaposed next to her reality world being trapped in a small space, where she lives most of her life.

Things that we need to change.

*Make all the clips the same colours, so they fit together better.
*In the 1st part of the dream we want to add lots of little wispering voices (said by the girl)
-"My happy place"
-"Only my place"
-"My special place"
these voices are supposed to connote that the dream is the only way she can get away from the hassels at home.
*Make the rewinded flashback part more blury and flashy to give it a more serial effect.
*At the end of the dream, before the flash back (when the footsteps come close the screan) we want to add diegetic sound, intime with the last few footsteps of loud knocking on the door to connote someone trying to wake her up by knocking on the door.
*As the flashback starts (coming to the end of the eye scene) the little voices from the start of the opening turn into other peoples voices which are more agressive, leading into her waking up suddenly, looking worried and scared.
