How we came up with Idea 1
Our first thoughts for this idea came from the Goldbergs, because the one episode about Adam's class playing dodgeball stood out to me as I found this very funny to watch and it had a good message behind it. From this we thought about making something along the lines of 'a day in the life of a nerdy kid' and so it might start off with him getting hit it the face by a ball then pausing and a voiceover saying 'you might be wondering how I got it' whilst the camera is zooming out to see this on TV and then quickly pans around and cuts into the opening scene of him going to school on the bus, and see him sitting alone, and so on throughout the day until it comes to a PE lesson.
We were then thinking, like in a football match, we could film all of the people in the classes faces and zoom in on the main character and suddenly he gets hit by a dodgeball in slow- motion whilst the titles appear written on the ball. That is all we came up with before we realized that this is also quite typical and there wasn't much flow to the story as we focused more on the shots we would make.
After this we then stayed along the idea of a nerdy kid and got inspiration from comedy based shows such as Chuck and Johnny English. From this we leant towards a more of an action comedy as this way there is less talking involved so we don't have to worry about actors.
In this running sequence we wanted to show clearly the difference in abilities between the older brother being a parkour/spy person and the little brother being a clumsy nerd. And so below you will see and in depth flow map of our idea and how we will integrate the credits throughout our opening scene.
Having presented this to the class we received various feedback such as if we know anyone how can do parkour, which we don't, and what location this will be set in, to which we thought a residential area would work well as there are various obstacles, and how to make it less of a short film and more into an opening.
Our next thoughts of improvement were to ditch the intro at the house, and start straight into the running sequence so we came up with more ideas such using a cafe, a supermarket, a playground to again display the difference between the two characters.
However we are still unsure how to end because we could simply show them running desperately to get somewhere serious but instead finish with the going to a fish and chip shop or end with the little brother fainting and the older brother having to firemans carry him in slowmotion, but this is still undecided.
How we came up with Idea 2
This idea was thought about a long time ago when we still thinking about the typical thriller scene where someone is being chased. We thought that we could use a drone to act as a helicopter to show that she is being hunted with the use of helicopter sounds in the background. As well as that we were not going to show her face but show the back of head looking around in a very panicked motion so the viewers wonder what is happening. The ending will be quite basic as it is her getting caught and is followed by a white flash.
