Contingency Plan!

THE CHOCOLATE DRAGONS IDEA HAD CHANGED!!!

So we ran into numerous problems with All Hail the Chocolate Dragons, such as:

• It wasn't funny enough to be a comedy, as making jokes in the format of a trailer is a lot harder than in say, a short film.
• Characters were too young for it to look like a professional production
• Locations were not fit for characters, such as every indoor location being too clean looking and overall non-sensical (such as anonymous around a window)
• The plot itself doesn't naturally fit any genre other than comedy.

Because of this we had changed:

• The genre of the film as it is now a thriller
• The tone of the film as now instead of being lighthearted, it is now very dark in tone
• The plot, as instead of YouTube pranksters doing a big prank on anonymous, a guy's girlfriend is kidnapped and he has to follow orders from two masked people or the girlfriend dies. The guy's actions get worse and worse to the point where he becomes irredeemable by the end of the movie.
• The name of the film to fit the new plot, genre and tone as the film will now be called Corruption Phase

In todays lesson we will be peer marking what we have so far within our trailers.

Chocolate Dragons changes

We are going to have to remove aspects of this and change a lot of the story to make this non linear but still make sense
the changes will include

removing scenes that give away too much of the plot

more action, less dialogue

have the wacky time video almost as a voiceover

add in more mystery through scenes we are going to have to redo

what I have done on 12/12/14

Todays lesson I hace edited the storyboard to make it more like what we are going to be doing. This is for LO2

Intro for AHTCD (draft)

Delay

On the 11th of December we had planned to film some scenes that included the character of Chad Wagon. However we could not film these scenes as we couldn't get in contact with the actor for several days (leading to a possible replacement of him) and while we got the permission to film for the Millennium Galleries location, we could not get the signature on the permission form as the manager could not find the time. This will lead to a modification of the production schedule.
