PRE-STORY BOARD PLAN

OUR GENRE• Our genre is a modern chick flick

• Because of this we will have to include love, fun, new beginnings, comedy, ‘eye candy’ and fashion

• This genre is great for us as it has very strong themes highlighting to us what we MUST re-create

• These themes will be mirrored in all four micro elements (Mise-En-Scene, Cinematography, Sound and Editing).

OUR INFLUENCES• Heathers – 1988 • Clueless – 1995 • Mean Girls –

2004 • We purposely

picked films from different era’s. This allowed us to look at what themes recurred in all the films and their trailers highlighting what we must include in ours. This then enabled us to move onto the creation of a story board for our film and trailer.

BASIS OF FILM STORYBOARD• Main character moves to a new ‘place’

• Get’s to grips with her surroundings

• Makes friends/enemies

• Becomes infatuated

• Has a downturn/disagreement

• Return to equilibrium

• This formula which is in common in chick flicks and teen movies made it easier to script our film. However, as we’re creating a trailer we realized only the first few points would be vital to give the audience the background to the film. From the other points, the ‘best-bits’ could be picked in then put in the trailer out of chronological order to entice the audience.
