As a group we have decided to change our film idea back to our original concept, which we already have a lot of footage for. We have decided to do this because we realised our idea mostly consisting of stop motion was very difficult and time consuming. We believed as a group we were struggling with the idea and the time limit in which to do it. And so we have decided to use footage from the first idea and adapt this with a small amount of new footage. This will also include some green screen and some traditional animation over the live film if we have the time. Our original idea, which we have now developed, further is to use the song “Heartless” by The Fray. We are using our footage filmed in the summer as a memory in the film about a couple in love. The new footage of Dan that we have filmed recently will be used to show the brake up of a relationship and the character’s feelings towards this. The lyrics talk of a heartless woman from the point of view of the male in the broken relationship, our footage and plot reflects this theme.
We are using a green screen effect in order to take us from the footage of the male character moping around his room, to the memories of the relationship. We have done this by taking a photo frame and putting green paper in the frame. The character will hold the photo frame; we will then edit in the footage of the couple together by deleting the green colour and replacing it with the footage.
Our filming locations have changed due to the change in idea, and so our new locations are Will’s back garden, commercial landscaped gardens and the recently filmed footage is in Dan’s bedroom.
Although much of our planning and research will have to be edited and in some cases replaced we feel we are already in a better position than we were with the stop-motion animation idea.
