Prezi - changes to our storyboard

A prezi explaining out changes to our initial storyboard.

Script

For our Short Film, we want to use minimal dialogue as we found last year this worked very effectively. We found this minimised making it sound amateur. Also we liked using music and foley sound as it made it sound more professsional and polished.

There will be an exchange of words when the gift is passed over from Harrison to James along the lines of;
'Have you got the package?'
'Yes, have you got the money?'
*Hands over money and in return gets package/gift*
'Cheers'
Also then when Carla is walking the dog, she will call her dog back when he goes to sniff the package and then she will be shocked. For example she may say
'Ooh what have you found Sammie?' Then pick it up and open it and say 'Oh my god!'
This is just a rough draft though as we will decide properly when we are filming and decide what dialogue works best.

Short Film Inspiration

 For our Short Film we are lucky enough to have a GoPro (kindly lent to us by James) that we want to film with. As we are having the meet up and handover at the top of the South Downs we thought it would be a nice touch to show the journey there. We want to show James journey there and as he would be riding a Motorbike we looked on YouTube for inspiration of Motorbike GoPro journeys.

This is a short clip we found on YouTube and we really like the positioning of the GoPro on the helmet and makes the audience feel very involved in the action, almost as if they are riding the bike themselves.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XehwAuZLfYY

We also wanted to show Harrison's journey as well with the GoPro camera so that both Characters methods of transport could be shown up until the point where they meet. We searched Car journeys with GoPro on YouTube to get more ideas to use. We found lots of unique viewpoints the camera can be placed and where the best visuals are given from.

This short test clip from a car, gave us lots to work with as a lot of different shots are used. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1d1Tf7qX6M

Synopsis

Synopsis - 'The Package'

Two unnamed men meet at the top of the South Downs. One travels by motorcycle and one travels by car. They meet in a car park and an inconspicuous handover takes place. One character hands over money in return for a ambiguous looking package. However in a rush to leave, he doesn't do his bag up properly and his package flies out of the bag on to the car park ground. No one see's as the other man has already left. However a dog notices the package on the floor and goes over to sniff it. The innocent dog owner goes over and see's the package. She picks it up and curiosity gets the better of her and she opens it. As she opens it a look of pure shock crosses her face. 
Meanwhile the character on the motorcycle reaches a house with a happy birthday banner. He knocks on the door and opens his bag to find the package then realises it's missing just as the door opens...
