Location Shoot
We have done the location shoot prior to the actual filming which will be taking part today.
We made a list of the shots in chronological order so that we could match each picture with a short description afterwards. We have also decided to use the pictures for our story board as well; it's a different way of showcasing it and will be better than any of our drawings. This will also help us when it comes to the actual filming; we will make a plan -like the previous one- so that we don’t miss out anything important that could make our film opening loose marks. We discussed a range of shots and what they mean, they are all there for a reason, whether it is to make a character look a certain way or to establish the setting.
Photos with small descriptions will be in future posts.

TO DO over the holidays...
- A Location shoot
Need to do a location shoot so that we can see what type of shots would be best and how we're going to shoot it.
-Story Board
Need to do a story board aswell, mostly for the same reasons as doing a location shoot. It will be easier if we used the still pictures from the location shoot and then anotate them.
- Shot List
A shot list needs to be done during the making of the story board. It needs to be in chronological order. This will help us when filming so that we know what we're doing.

Titles at the beginning...
The titles will scroll in (maybe being typed up as an effect) over the film as it starts. This will work better for us because it means we can get more of the film in and the titles wont take too much time out out of the actual beginning.
"Top Drawer Films presents...
A Game Face production...
Starring Stella Perryman, Adam Tippett, Liam Difford, Thomas Allward and Gavin Difford.
Directed by Thomas Allward
Filmed mainly by Stella Perryman

Naming our film.
<font color= "red,blue,green" >MONROE </font>
This is the first idea for the name of our film. Monroe is the surname of the woman in our film and is our main character. It is similar to the 'Bourne' films and the 'James Bond' films, and as these are also part of the same genre we're trying to achieve it seems to work well.
SUBJECT; MONROE
This title is similar to the first but it focuses on the character. The way it's written shows that the 'subject' could change, room for a sequal.
We have all decided that this is going to be the name of our film.
