Planning our film.

In this lesson me and my group started planning our film, we started thinking of story lines and themes because we needed to consider the whole film before we focused on the opening.
I looked at the audience expectations to help me and my group decide what our opening could be about.
The following themes were
- Death
- Terminal illness
- Love
- Money
- Anger
- Depression
- Betrayal
- Family
- Losing someone you love
- Heartbreak
- Family
- Accidents
- Violence
- Abuse
- Problems
- Life changing challenges
- Miscarriage/ Abortion
- Missing
There are a lot of things our film could contain!
We wanted our film to involve a family instead of a couple because we didn't want our film to turn into a romance, we thought it would be a good idea to add in a little girl to add innocence to the film (we decided at the start of the film we could have her voice talking, something is going wrong in her family and you feel more sympathy if a child is talking compared to an adult because you see things in a different light).
Our film is going to be about a family, who have some kind of issue with the dad (we haven't decided what yet) and it will affect the little girl mostly.
With ideas for our opening we were thinking of having the little girl talking about her memories, and all the things she has loved doing but then something always goes wrong and ends up being ruined (but we need to look more into this)
I think we have our basic idea of what me and my group are going to do but next lesson we will develop more into the detail of our film and opening.
