Filming so far.

So far we've done the beginning and the end of our film and I think it's gonna pretty well Dan is currently importing our video and sorting through all the bad, fuzzy and shots that are too dark. We think the that it went pretty well. On Wednesday and Thursday we are planning on filming the stuff in college.

Some of the ideas we have are Dan having coursework and because he doesn't have the bag he doesn't have it so he gets in shit for that. Also because he's late he can't help Zoe with some course work so she fails and gets all pissy.

More shot ideas

Another idea I really like although I am unsure how I could incorporate it into my film is in Amores Perros after the first hit where a business man has been shot and he falls on to the table in a expensive restaurant and his blood spreads on to a hot plate and begins to bubble.

Yet again I've been unable to find a clip on YouTube so I'll just put on of the the movie trailer.

I'm thinking we could use something similar to this, but obviously not Dan getting assassinated, the day won't be quite that bad. What I had more in mind was something along the lines of Dan spilling a drink that he's really looking forward too and watching it drip down a drain. I'd do it from ground level perhaps with only the cup in focus and the background out of focus, although I'm not too sure if this is possible on the college cameras. I'm don't think that the other people in the group would particularly like this idea, but I'm in control of the camera so I'll just piss of and set the shot up then maybe get a shot of Dan buying a drink and talking about how thirsty he is.

Other Idea's

One idea we had before Snooze was a two characters talking via the phone about how they can't meet up with each other because they are busy, which is a lie and as they are saying goodbye they walk round different corners and bump into each other.
Which then causes both of them to interact with each other then turning into an awkward conversation between them ending with a problem.

Another idea was Alex a Victorian gentlemen who some how finds his way into the present and try's to blend into modern society with the help of another victorian Glenn

Attempting to find Ideas

I'm attempting to find more ideas for a our really bad day, so I've been looking on the internet for really bad days but I'm not having too much luck at the moment, I tried looking at this website http://failblog.org/ but as amusing as it is, it's not quite what I'm looking for and we're still missing ideas for our bad day so I'll try and find something else, but I don't know what I'll find.

I think we should concentrate more on shooting that making a cohesive narrative at the moment as we don't actually get marks on how good our story is, I'll try and do some more work on shots today, and attempt to fit more of them in even if it doesn't makes perfect sense
