Script of our added scene

*This is the script we have made to allow the message of "jumping to conclusions" to make more sense as we realised our film was too short to allow the audience to understand the message we were trying to get them to realise.

Storyboard for our Additional scene

Below is the first draft of a storyboard that I created for our additional scene. This scene will go before the main bulk of our film that we have already edited.

Photo Storyboard of additional scene

This is our additional scene, this allows the audience to show how the main character, Millie, is prejudice and this additional scene also introduces the other character's such as Sam and Millie's mum. This will be added to our original storyboard to have our complete film.

Costume and Location photos for our Additional scene

Street

We wanted to use the same locations that we use later on in the film so that the style of our film is consistent. This way the film makes sense all the way through and there is no break between the additional scene and the rest of our film. The lighting was also perfect, because of the nature of the scene (judging people and being suspicious of someone) we wanted the location to look dark and not too sunny. 


Millie's house and garden

Again, by using Millie's house at the beginning of the film, the additional scene seamlessly fits with the rest of the film because the location is the same.

Costumes

We decided to keep Sam's character in the same kind of outfit that we see her in the main part of the film later on. This way the audience knows straight away  that this is the character that Millie questioned the day before. The dark clothing naturally makes her seem suspicious, and is the stereotypical kind of costume that is used in films for gangsters and 'bad' characters, so this will make it easier for us to challenge the conventions of the genre. 

Millie's character is wearing a similar outfit to the one she wears in the main bulk of the film - a trendy outfit, yet something an average teenage girl might wear, nothing too extravagant.

Similar to Millie, her mum dressed fashionably yet comfortably. We chose a similar outfit to the one she wears in the rest of the film to keep a consistency with the character.

Brainstorm for Additional scene

After editing our film, we found that the narrative isn't as clear as we had thought it would be, so for this reason, we have decided to add an additional scene to the beginning of our film. Our film will make more sense if we add another scene to the beginning to explain more about the relationship between the main character and her mother, because at the moment our film is slightly fragmented.

Below are a few ideas that we had for this additional scene:

The idea we have chosen, is the first two. Below is a brief synopsis of what will happen in the additional scene:

(The day before the scenes we have already filmed) 
Millie and her mother are coming back from a walk and pass by a lampost with a poster on it showing a 'stolen car'. Then Millie notices that it happens to be the same make and colour car as one that is parked down the street (Sam's car). As they walk past they hear music playing loudly inside and catch a glimpse of the person sitting behind the wheel. Millie judges the girl straight away and jumps to the conclusion that the girl has stolen the car, but her mum doesn't agree. She tells Millie that she shouldn't 'judge a book by its cover', and Millie gets annoyed and storms ahead into the house. This is where our original film will pick up after the screen fades out to black to signify a passage of time.

Below is a rough draft of our storyboard for this additional scene:

 

Research into closing credits

Closing Credits

This section provides information we got from the BBC website on what categories may be used in Closing Credits. We researched this as we did not know all the categories that are included in credits. We chose the appropriate categories that applied to us and added them to the ending of our film. For a closer look onto this website click here!

Bloopers

Below is the finished blooper reel that I put together after editing our film. We knew that there were a lot of outtakes among the footage we had filmed, so we decided that we would go a little further by creating these bloopers using Final Cut Express.

I used the website www.freesound.org to find some appropriate music for this video. I found it very easy to use, and managed to find the right sound effects for our blooper reel.
