pre-Production - Team Meeting 3

We discussed the ideas we had within our group and found that we actually had about 4 main ideas and that it would be too much to do within the time limit (2.30 mins). this was due to miscommunication and just generally and overflow of ideas. Therefore we decided to keep our concept simple by eliminating elements that we felt were over ambitious.

These are some of the notes from the meeting we had:

• The subject decided that he wants to kill himself but gets saves by a girl or vice versa, possibly a love interest or something simple like someone acknowledging him.
• he has the power that lets him blink and travel to a different destination to get away from his anxious situations or this blinking feature can be used at a transition between frames.
• the subject could be writing the suicide note, this could be narrated and the visuals would reflect a day in the subjects life or just past situations that make them feel the way they do.

 The New Storyline

So the story line is now that there is a young woman who is isolated and suffers from social anxiety. She decides to write a suicide note in preparation to commit suicide. We haven’t decided who the letter is for, could be her boyfriend, a sibling or a parent. Whilst she is writing the letter she has flash backs to reveal why/how she got to where she is. To contrast the dark and the light within the production we decided that the subject shouldn’t die, someone will save her a love interest/boyfriend.

We assigned some roles to help guide us to what we should do next.
