(POST 1) Opening task introduced

What questions were you given (photo)?
From our four options we chose our top two which where "what's 'that'? in the Meatloaf song?" and also the story of Humpty dumpty.
For the Meatloaf song we wanted the question to be entertaining and humours when asking others ideas on the song lyrics meaning. For the Humpty Dumpty story we want it to be entertaining however also educational, we want to be able to add humour but also different interputations of the childhood story.
When looking into both of the options we decided to create a film on meatloaf’s song lyrics,  the plot of the film would be us ask a range of people, different ages about their own interputation of the song and its hidden meaning. We would start the film by playing the song up into the chorus and then we would switch focus onto a teacher and then we would ask “so what do you think the “’that?’ is in the song?” after his/her response we would then switch again to a different location (for example on the streets in wymondham) and ask an older different person what their interputation is. After their response we would switch to a musician. We want to interview 7 people all in all. Some would be in groups, for example a group of 3 students and recording their “debate” and sharing of ideas.


Initial ideas for setting, character and casting, for the song we would like to ask a range of people in a range of settings, for example in the streets of wymondham, the clc learning area at the school, teachers in class rooms and also family and friends at home. We want there to be a change in settings for each person we ask.

E.T The Extra Terrestrial

After 1977's Close Encounters (see no 11), director Steven Spielberg reversed the alien encounter formula to wonder not what we would make of them but what they would make of us. The result was this 1982 blockbuster, which eclipsed even the original Star Wars and received nine Oscar nominations (winning four) – a feat unheard of for a film with such overt sci-fi content. Despite its genre trappings, ET balanced its fantasy content with an academy-pleasing dose of sentiment, played out in the home life of Elliott (Henry Thomas), a lonely 10- year-old whose parents are separating. Little time is spent revealing where the film's ET has come from, or how he came to be left behind. Instead, Spielberg focuses on the film's unlikely-buddy story; the middle child of three (Drew Barrymore is the sweet but clingy younger sister, Robert MacNaughton the cynical teenage big brother), Elliott takes in the ET as the friend and confidant he doesn't have. Largely filmed from an a...

rough cut

Before completing my finial film, i created a rough cut. This allowed me to experiment with ideas, trail out ideas and also try different techniques with editing and camera angles. In my rough cut i used the same settings as i wanted to in my finial piece, however used different actors. For my finial cut i want to use my Nan and Grandad as the two actors, however as they live in London i needed to experiment before they came down to film. This led me to using my friend and mum in my rough cut footage.   When filming the rough cut i used the poem i had found over the top of the footage to see how this could work in the real film. I felt this was extremely successful. I felt i really benefitted from completing a rough cut as it allowed e to review and refine my ideas.
