Third Plan



Third Plan


After looking at each plot and thinking about everything we would need for each film, what problems could arise while filming, what props we would need, what type of cast we will need and what issues we will have while editing.

And our final decision was to go a head and go with a horror as my partner and I wanted a challenge and the romance film wasn't a big challenge.


  
We could now start to plan our main task.

Second Plan

Second day of planning


After a very long day of trying to picking between Romance and Horror, Which are two completely different  types of genre. We where still finding it hard to pick between both genres, 

Decision, Decision Romance or Horror???  YIKES 

So we came up with a plot for both genres and we would pick which one we prefer the best and here are the plots:

Romance:

> New girl in school 
> Quite girl gets bullied by the popular girl
> Has a crush on the most popular girl's boyfriend
> Becomes crush's class project partner 
> They started hanging out 
> She starts falling in love with him but is trying not to show it to him
> He secretly is falling for her too
> Girlfriend starts getting jealous and starts getting at the quite girl 
> Guy breaks up with popular girlfriend because he doesn't like the fact his is bullying the girl he likes
> He asks her out on a date and they start going out
> Ex girlfriend doesn't like what she sees and get revenge 
> The popular makes it look like her ex boyfriend is cheating on his new girl
> The quite girl sees and gets hurt and breaks up with him
> In the end she finds out it was all a set up and he tells her exactly how he feels about her, they get back together and happy ending.

We liked this plot as us girls can relate to it as some teen girls will know how it feels but never have happy endings. This would also be a great film to shot as it more of a teenager romance film and that will be the audience we will be targeting as teen girls would be able to relate to it more than other romance out there.

Horror:

> After being sexually and physically abused by her father for almost 10 years at from the age of 5 to 14. Her mother got tired of her daughter being abused, so she gets her and leaves. 
>After 3 months of leaving her abusive husbands, she starts see that her daughter is acting different
> She notice that her daughter was losing sense of time and forgetting things she has done, but also her mother notice that her daughter has different personalities
> Thinking that it's just something to help her get over her father's abusive acts, she just ignores it
> But while her mother just thinks it something that will past within time, but what he mother doesn't know is  that her daughter is showing signs of Multiple Personality Disorder
> But the girl's alters started growing day by day expected one. One who grow quicker and  more rapidly then the others, this was also her most powerful personality
> After 8 month her mother soon started realizing that there was something wrong with her daughter 
> And takes her to the hospital to see what was wrong with daughter
> While they wait for the results to come in
> As they are waiting her daughter's disorder started become worst each day and now she was  Hallucinating and starts having alteration in her perceptions
> After the doctors were aware of her disorder, they started treatment right away
> But treatment are not working and the daughter starting going mental
> And is then send to a mental hospital
> In which her alters get more powerful and where switching more often 
> Leading her to self-injury and attempts in suicide
> But her most powerful personality took complete control of her drive her mental
> At ending finding out the her most powerful personality had no part of her 

We also liked this plot as there would be a lot of tension and a lot of bits the will get the audience thinking whats going to happen next. We also liked this because would be able to take the audience into the main characters head put them in her shoes.

First Plan

First Plan

So today we had to pick who we wanted to work with and I picked to work with Gloria. After we picked our partners, our teacher told us what we had to do for our chosen portfolio and our one was film. 
So after knowing what we had to do for our projects we then went off in our groups and we started planning.


So while with my partner we decided to start of by planning our Preliminary task first so we could get it done and over with as it a short task and for us to some understanding of the different camera angles. 

We then started thinking on what type of genre we would like to make our preliminary about, we also started thinking about the script, location, lighting, the cast and when we will film it.

After figuring what we wanted to do for our preliminary task, we started thinking about our main task. Here are the main film genre we decided we would be more likely to film:



Brainstorming favorite film genre

After 10 mins of looking at our brainstorm of film genres thinking about which one would like to film and thinking of a plot for each one, we had a tie between Romance and Horror.
