Discussing the preliminary

Today we did more planning for our preliminary work, which we plan to shoot tomorrow.
We already have the storyboard:




Our preliminary will be filmed in an abandoned science block in our school, down a corridor. We can control the lighting easily here and we won't disturb people when filming because we will because nobody uses the building anymore. So it seems ideal. The plan is that Kay and my character will sit down at a table and have a secret conversation. I will demand that she follows my orders and I give her a key. Then the lights flicker on and we look down the corridor and nobody is there. Then we carry on the conversation and suddenly we look back and a man is standing there, having found them.

We have figured out the location we will shoot this 20 second bit of film, have discussed camera angles, costume, if any props are needing...

My character is a bully, and has terrorised Kay's character, to commit a criminal offence for her. Sam's character is vulnerable and frightened. We have used a hoody and dark make-up for my character, to try and create an 'ugly and violent' character, where as Sam wheres normal, every day clothes.

We aren't using many props, only: a table, two chairs and a key.

Oh yeeees, the script is sorted too...these are the lines:

Kay is sitting in the room. She glances at her watch and gets up to leave, just as Lucy walks in


L: Going somewhere? Scared?

K: Um...no...

Lucy walks in and they both sit down

L: Having second thoughts, are we?

K: Of course not, I just...

L: Nobody backs out of my business.

K: I didn't mean -

The lights tun on. They both get up and look down the corridor, but nobody is there. They turn away.

L: If you tell anyone about this, I will kill you.

There is a long pause and they tun to face the corridor, a man is standing there.
