Courtney will be doing our make up for the opening scene of the film, she does theatrical make up as a college course so we as a group felt it would be best to have someone who knew what they were doing rather than us doing it all our selves.
The above picture is evidence of one of our conversations about the dates she is available to help etc.

The Teddy Bears Picnic!

This is the type of teddy bears picnic we want to create, a very stereotypical one. We do however want to use a few more bears to make it more dramatic when the bears are destroyed. We will also use different types of bears and not the same ones as that would make the set seem a bit boring and tedious throughout shots! We also want to make it seem much more realistic than the image above which clearly isn't real food, or bears.

Location Photos

Our film location is in the woods,

This photo is the shot we feel we'd like to use when the witch is lerking behind trees and following the family, we would however blur this shot a bit and make it black and white to get across the fact it's through the witches eyes.

Here shows the path were we want our family to walk along while they head for there picnic, its bright and spaced out giving the effect nothing bad could happen here.

This is the area in the woods where we feel the family of 3 would set up their 'teddy bears picnic'. This part of the woods seems almost isolated from the rest making it the perfect spot to film as we could use shots to make it feel isolated and cramped when we see the witch, but then also show wider shots when the 'happy' family are around.

This is the spookiest shot we got, it's the type of effect we want to use when the witch is either in shot, or the camera is giving her point of view. we feel this should work well as it's the opposite type of shot from the ones we want to use when the family is around.

This is the area where we want to shot the child running to find her bear, we've chose this area as there are obstacles to overcome and things to get away from, making it seem more exciting for the audience.

Lesson 03-02-12

During this lesson to start with the 3 of us decided on the shot list and how our film would be conveyed making it easier for Kat to start the proper version of the film story board.
Sadie then completed the treatment for the opening scene, while jade continued searching for the different types of clothing the characters will be wearing.
We then came together as a group at the end to decide on more parts of the storyboard, and images.

TREATMENT

Teddy Bears Picnic

Character's costumes.

Detective.

Here is a pair of trousers which the detective would wear in our thriller opening. We have gone for a smart casual look.

Another item of clothing we have decided the detective to wear would be a plain white smart shirt to show his importance. The connotation of white is pure which will give the audience a sense that he knows what is going on.

To your left we have the detective's coat. We decided to go with a modern day kind of coat and not a trench coat like the detective "Sherlock Holmes" wears. We have done this because we did not want to do the stereotypical detective that people usually see on television with a pipe and magnifying glass.

We have chosen the character's shoes to be black because it gives a sinister look and goes with the dark vibe that goes with our film opening.

Mother.

Here we have the Mother's jeans. We have chosen to give her a young and stylish look. We thought to give her a nice slim fit because that is the style nowadays.

To the left we have got the Mother's coat. We decided to go with the style of a warm coat because she is in the woods on a chilly day at the start of spring.

Here we have gotten a pair of wellies that the Mother is going to wear. We decided to go with wellies because they are walking around in the woods at the start of spring which means that the mud will be everywhere and it will be all wet.

Father.

Here we have the Father's coat. We have tried to give him a stylish look with a coat that is in season at the moment. However, it is nice and warm so fits in well with the theme of our film opening.

Here we have the Father's jeans. We have again tried to give him a stylish look with jeans that are in fashion however we tried to die them down because he is in the woods and they will just get ruined.

Here we have the Father's wellies. For the same reason as the Mother, he is wearing wellies because of all of the mud in the woods and it ties in well with our film opening.

Child.

Here we have the child's coat. We decided to give her a "Hello Kitty" coat because it gives the sense that the child is a typical little girl who loves pink. This will give off that the child is sweet and innocent and this will effect the reader.

Here we have the child's trousers. We have given her just some simple jeans that a young child would have.

Here we have the child's wellies. We have given her pink wellies because our little girl character is known as a stereotypical little girl that loves pink.
