Brainstorming

Notes:

• Make sure to use a variety of shots
• Maybe add music or a soundtrack to set the mood
• We can tell the story through the camera not just by speaking
• In the soccer video the producers seemed to focus on the talents of the actor, so we should focus on our own talents
• We can have a fake studio 
• What the heck was that second video about?
• Film the environment not just the actors
• Don't use bad words
• We can try animation
• Let's not do animation I can't draw

Summary:

The first student film Rise influenced us more than the other films in how we are to go about making the beginning of our movie. This is mostly because it was the first one we saw, so it contained a lot of the interesting shots that the films that followed had as well. We decided for our film that we should include music, and focus more on showing than telling in how we present the story. We should also focus on our own talents, just as in Rise where the actor showcased his soccer skills. To do this however we need to find out what we are talented in.
