New Treatment
We had issues with our old plan/storyboards etc.
So we have came up with a new idea in order to compensate for this.
1 - Core Themes:
Our core theme is to ‘Cease the day’, make the most out of the time he has left. Our idea was ‘My Sisters Keeper’ meets ‘The Bucket List’. The binary oppositions within our teaser trailer are going to be; happy/sad, health/illness. The Logline of our teaser trailer is going to be ‘Family is stronger then anything else
2 – Core Characters
The core characters of our teaser trailer are as follows:
The protagonist – The two siblings would be the protagonist as they have never had their parents to be there for them in the way that other children have, so that they begin to express their emotion with anger and form a strong bond between one and other.
The adversary – This is going to be the adoption. This would be the fact that the two siblings are left to be there for each other and have trouble fitting in with being adopted by the foster parents that they may have to put up with, by being tear aways.
3 – The Three Acts
Act 1 - The set up – Film can start off with the children with the foster parents or alone, either way it wants to show happiness because we can then put a twist on it.
Act 2 – The set back – This would be the fact the children do not wish to have foster parents and will try to do anything to be different to become the tear aways they are.
Act 3 – The Resolution – The resolution would be that they will be together all the time causing problems how ever they could be together still with no problems, and have had a change of heart and agree to keep each other safe, and always be there for one another.
4 – Additional Characters
The additional characters within our film are as follows:
Protagonist – The young boy
Villain – Adoption
Heroin – The prize/reward of family that they have
Father – Foster parents trying to do best for the two siblings, and making them feel comfortable
Helper – Both siblings wish to help each other equally
Mentor – Both siblings will be trying to keep them both positive that theres always something better out there for them.
5 – The Setting
We are going to be having various settings for our teaser trailer due to the fact that he is going to be that they will be wanting to try and have a normal life alone and do not wish to be fostered. Some of the settings are going to include, house, school and maybe out side, these are the settings that we feel should be included, as they do not have alot the places will be set out to be common.

Final Decisions
The film title we have selected was 'Mad world' which would be a play on title and will relate to the soundtrack we have chosen, the backing music. The reason we have selected this title because we want to get across how mad the world really is once you've been diagnosed with a serious illness.
Our film decisions have been moving from various different ideas on what would best fit our piece as its going to be a 'Drama' with quite a serious story line which some people would be able to relate to upsetting news because it involves a serious illness.
The soundtrack we would like to have playing throughout the trailer would be, 'mad world' how ever we won't be getting the official song we will only need the piano backing music to the song. Which we can use our own school resources and see if a music student or teacher will help us with this.
The sound effects that we will be needing for our performance will mainly be either hospital sounds this would be a life support machine 'beep'because of the location, how ever we are undecided on any other sound effects because we want to get the recording completed first.
The costumes will vary between different types, we will have a basic outfit that a child would wear, the reason being for the scenes out of hospital, how ever whilst in the hospital there will be a night gown to be worn which will set the mood of the illness, and the sense of innocence to the child for the trailer.
Props
N/A
Lighting will change from scene to scene, in the more emotionally happy scenes the lighting will be bright and vibrant to symbolise this, how ever when in the scenes that give a more upsetting sad mood they will be dull with less light, this will then set the mood in the short amount of time allocated for the trailer. If the lighting is successful then we will be able to have a trailer that will be effective in attracting the target audience.

Update
For the past week i have been having a play around with Photoshop and also Sony Vegas.
I have been focusing on getting the Animatic completed and so far it is going pretty well, one bad point in which i could of made the Animatic better for future reference would be to create better images for our storyboard for which would help the Animatic due to the images not being of a high quality / standard but it is going well.
I will be uploading the Animatic to YouTube soon and then upload it to my blog.
Below is a photostrip i put together while messing around in Photoshop.
