For our storyboard, Megan drew out the storyboards onto Post It notes and we then filmed it. Mark edited it together to produce the final piece. The storyboard is only 4 minutes long as some of the shots we haven't included in the storyboard as some of them are repeated, but the final film will be 5 minutes long as we have to include credits too.
For our Animatic, James and Laura completed the voiceovers and Mark edited it in. Again, we used the same Post It notes accomplished by Megan.

Shooting Schedule By James
Here is the shooting schedule that our group will try and stick to. Obviously things such as timings may effect things, but this skeleton is a rough guide to when and where we will be filming. As a rule of thumb our Wednesday lessons will be used for reviewing footage while Thursday and Friday lessons and any time after will be used for shooting. If we finishing filming any earlier we will of course crack on with editing.
Acting Decisions - Mark and James
The characters in our film are going to be teenagers, and therefore we have decided to act in our own film. This will mean that we will not have to rely on other people for filming which will make it much easier to meet up. This also allows us to decide exactly how we want our characters to be portrayed and act accordingly.
Roles
Characteristics
Sam:
Sam appears to be a normal everyday teenager, however on the face of it his personality at the moment is slightly distanced to what we would expect from someone of his age. He is not happy and as a result we allow the audience to interpret this through the series of close ups that we plan to show. The close ups will show his bruising and subdued facial expressions, the only glimmer of happiness we see is when he gets a text from Laura. She acts as a catalyst for happier emotions something that as producers of the film we don't want to show.
Amy:
To start with, Amy appears to show the characteristics of an obsessive girlfriend, as she constantly texts Sam to know where he is and what he is doing and that is all the audience know; from that they can set their own assumptions, but I think they will sympathise with her as Sam isn't replying to her texts as he is seen to be the stereotypical male ignoring his girlfriend. The audience start to picture more of Amy when the flashbacks occur; from when they were at their first date when she is seen as being nice, to when she gets gradually worse with Sam and starts to show violence, this is when the audience start to sympathise with Sam. At the end Sam is seen in a hospital bed, and it is up to the audience whether they think Amy put him in there or he killed himself.
Laura:
Laura makes one appearance in this film, when Laura walks up to Sam and Amy when they are together. She is seen as a guardian angel, and Sam goes to her when he is in trouble or needs help. She is also used at the end as Sam goes to ring her to ask her for help, but Amy comes in and stops the conversation before he could tell her.
Roles
- Amy (Megan) - Abusive girlfriend
- Sam (Mark) - Abused boyfriend
- Laura (Laura) - A friend of Sam's
