Group - Concept development

Shot ideas
  • We will use a large majority of close up's to maintain interest throughout the video, showing the characters facial expression to various events.
  • We will be shooting at 50 fps when we want to create the slowed down shots.
  • There is a possibility that we may be able to achieve technical excellence through the use of a drone which we have. We will place the camera on this, to achieve successful Birdseye shots and extreme long shots of the city.  
Cast
  • We have reduced the size of the cast because our shoots will be more efficient as we could bring the cast together on more than one occasion if need be in case we had to do another shoot. We also felt the size of the cast was inappropriate to achieve our narrative.

The mask
  • We have come to the conclusion that the 'motionless' character which is being resurrected by Brad will be wearing a plain white mask. Brad will resurrect the character with a slow swipe across the characters head which causes the mask to disappear. This will be done through the use of continuity editing.
  • We decided to use the mask to add an extra element to the video and make it clear how the character is clearly coming to life. The mask also highlights death and a soul with no energy.

Ending
  • We have come to a clear conclusion as to how we plan to finish the video.
  • The 3 characters will enter a party with a spotlight purely on them. They will then be blacked out and the light will show the surrounding people at the party who are all masked. As the lights come back on, the entire room will be lit and the masks will no longer be evident. Everyone will be enjoying themselves and having a good time.
  • The ending supports the narrative throughout that Brad has the ability to influence people and bring them to life. This shows connotations of positive youthful representation as everyone is shown to be having a good time at a party in a sensible manor.
