Problems

We thought we had lots of good footage, however, there are loads of obvious errors throughout the whole of the latest scene filmed. This means we've got to spend extra time on the editing and possibly have to film again after we show our rough-cut.
Also..... the music, titles and storyline is not quite what we were going for. And therefore the rough-cut will definitely NOT represent our final piece.
Also... Also... Ash and Stu haven't turned up to this lesson(one before rough-cut reveal), so its unlikely that the rough-cut will even be finished by the end of Tuesdays lesson.

Failure

During one of the filming processes, the camera had become corrupt so we lost a lot of important footage to use. We have tried to overcome this by mixing in the footage that we got with the previous shots that aren't action; making the scene seem like a dream which works well for us.
Here's a a still frame of what we had.

We've filmed some of our opening sequence.... the nerdy character- Nathan White.
However we still need to film the other side of my character, record the voice over and shoot Ash's section when he's being a villain.

The Villain

As a villain we want someone who is very serious, not a man in a cape with a big collar. Genuinely someone who is intimidating to both adults and children. Bob Hoskins in this clip of "Unleashed" is a good example of what we are looking for from Ashley. He won't be talking but with his body language and the way he dresses we want something like this.

humour

This sort of humour is going to be included in the nerdy side of Lone Dog... Nathan White.

This clip is a good example of the sort of character we are going for with long dog. In this clip napoleon is exaggerating about his experiences. Lone Dog would tell similar stories however he would be telling the truth.

Script

As the only person in the film speaking is going to be Matt (Lone dog), we have to make sure that the words we choose draw the audience in and don't get bored. Also as it is only the opening sequence, we need to leave the audience asking themselves questions to keep them thinking. The script needs to correspond to the video without describing it but just inferring about it. For example we want the audience to be agreeing with what he is saying and really think about it. We wanted it to have a serious base because of the seriousness of his character but then an immature edge in the sound of his voice too keep it in the "younger audience" category. This is what we came up with...

- It's hard waking up knowing that all you've got coming is another boring day, huh, you can probably relate. The college is split into three categories; The populars, the averages and the loners. It's no good being popular because it makes the average people jealous and in fact, behind the scenes, there's not that many people that like them. No good being average because, well it sorta says it for itself. then there's the loners. they don't have to worry about people judging them because no one knows them. But then again that could be a problem in itself... not that i would know. Then the question is raised, what category do i fit in? Well i'm not popular, definatly don't consider myself average, but loner is a very good explanation. I like to be myself, not run by other peoples examples. My name is Nathan White, i am Lone Dog, Who are you?
