Storylines, Storylines, Storylines.

After a long weekend of exploring, and an extraordinary day in Edinburgh on Monday. Tuesday started us off exhausted but excited to continue our work.

 

A group meeting started us off. Throwing out ideas from the storylines we'd developed. They ranged from a clip show of sorts with many versions, 1 scene with the character moving in it, a character finding a place to meditate and being disturbed where ever he went, a duck drinking tea, a paranoid women afraid of forgetting something and the house being flooded or destroyed and being over anxious finally resolves her paranoid feelings to end with her house on fire, alien invasions with different results then you believed, a Godzilla attack and multiple character reactions to the event throughout the city, the list continues from there...

We each decided on one from each of our sections, to then create a nugget. This nugget we searched photos for to see which one we liked, inspired us the most and then laid it out in indesign. Our Final 3 were a clip show combining the scenes of multiple Scottish Mythological creatures, a dramatic scene of drinking tea (by duck or human), and the woman's house burning down.

After a full day of creating nuggets, brainstorming how the 3 would play out, and Emily doing some more acting, we settled on our favorite. The clip show of Scottish Mythology. Here we did not decide on a final course of action with the clip show, from here we separated and started to storyboard mini scripts of how this clip show would play out.

 

We got some info from one of our instructors on Act set ups in a story and Theme combinations. This lead us to some base story ideas, for the clip show. One being; The character needed proof fairies exist, and through his travels he comes across more then just fairies and ignores them all for his proof. We used the creatures as obstacles he had to overcome through his adventure. The next few days were of storyboarding. I was out sick for Wednesday and Thursday both Erin and Emily had solid first drafts on the story that they were progressing to a second draft and I felt my resources would be best continuing onto more technical things then drawing out a rough draft myself. I began the base for the blog and researching music we could use.
