Planning our film & what we need to consider.

In this lesson me and my group started planning on the things we need to consider in our opening, we discussed actors, location and costume.
Actors - For our opening we will need the voice of a little girl which we will be allowed to do because we are only filming her voice and not actually her physical appearance. We need to find someone to play the Mum, this person needs to be middle aged, they also need to come across distraught and emotional because of there daugthers death, they don't really care about anything else. Lastly we need a Dad, now he is going to be the antagonist in our opening, you see the bad side of him as he didn't care for his daughter, he comes across quite cruel and intimidating.

Location - We started planning where we were going to film and the following locations/settings we will need are:
- A Park
- Kitchen for birthday decorations
- Study room
- Bedroom
All these settings are very easy to get we just need to make sure they look right and consider the mise en scene.

Costume (colour, connotations) - We started thinking about what our characters could wear and this is what we came up with.
Mum - We want the mum to be dressed very casually, in comfy baggy clothes and this is because it shows she doesn't want to make an effort, her daughter has died so she doesn't care what she looks like, she just needs to feel relaxed. I think she should be wearing neutral colours, to show her innocence and portray her as the protagonist.
Dad - We want the dad to wear a black suit, the suit shows him as a buisnessman who cares alot about his work and maybe more than his family, and the black shows him as dark and evil and shows him as the antagonist.
