( post 1) opening task introduced

-
Out of our 6 questions, as a group we decided out favorite were "who made Humpty Dumpty an egg" and the Meatloaf song what is "that?" we liked these two questions because they are both equally confusing and make minds work in order to figure out adequate responses.

  We chose the question "who made Humpty Dumpty and egg" we think we would be able to present the ideas around it easier in our documentary than the Meatloaf question; everyone knows Humpty Dumpty, the nursery rhyme is much more commonly well known than the meatloaf song, therefor we think it will be more popular and it will reflect more comedy in our filming. Also the idea seemed quiet unique in comparison to our other ones which were given; we think this question will ultimately be more successful.

    our documentary is intended to be commercial and educational. Our documentary will include 6 main characters, Aston (the voice over), Ellie (the interviewer), and Catherine, Louie, Elsa and Olivia-our recipients. the four roles are; one confused student, one professor, one angry student and one incorrect student. the contrast will add to the comedy of the documentary and overall will make it more interesting. we will film our documentary in the school grounds, which us more comfortable for the characters in the questions as it is familiar ground and means they are more likely to act more natural and not forced.

This sound shouldn't be too loud, otherwise it'll block the sound of the actors. It would only be applied to the end of the scene, where Edmund is heading towards the Witch's castle, and the others are trying to stop him. This would make this scene more tense and dramatic, making the situation seem more helpless. The wind would die down after Mr. Beaver told them to stop because Edmund's the bait. This would show the realisation, and having to accept Edmund leaving until they find Aslan. --- show how this was done Non-Diegetic Sound Needed: Music: Possibly not needed, but it could be used quietly when coming to see the homely Beavers' Dam, or the tense moment at the end where I suggested the wind could be, thi...

List of the settings in your script -Beavers cozy dam -The woods/ forest -Beavers lodge -winter forest night -castle lake -castle hill, the open gate Sketches of how you envisage these settings to look   Images and google maps screen grabs of potential settings that can work and reasons why When we were researching into setting ideas, we felt the idea of bewilder woods treehouses would be a perfect fit for our ideas for the Beavers Lodge. We feel the surroundings would be suitable for those like in Narnia. However after contacting them we were unable to use this at the time we needed to. Final choices of what settings you are using and reasons why We finally decided that we would use a summer house in one of our group members gardens. We decorated the interior to how we felt best fitted the beavers house. We had log piles, warm lighting, two candles, rugs, miss matching chairs and table, old vintage books and a "family" h...
