As a creative way to prepare for making of our film, we used jelly babies to produce a basic opening of a comedy film, creating characters and a shot list as practice. We had to decide on sound, titles, camera angles, the characters and the duration.
These are the characters we created:
The 3 main protagonists |
Female Protagonist |
Male Antagonist |
The use of the stereotypical teenagers is common amongst the comedy genre and we used them as easy characters to create a basic storyline with. In the opening, the female approaches the three protagonists before moving past them and stepping into the house of the male antagonist. The titles would appear as throughout the shots of the various characters and the title of "Her" would be shown in the first shot of the woman to distinguish that it was the title and related to that character.
These are the notes we used to help create the shot list:
