Step Outline

1. We see a young girl around the age of 7 crying and discover it is because both of her parents have died in a car accident.
2. Cutting to some time later when the girl is a young teen around 14 living in a children's home, we see her going to school and being bullied.
3. When she returns to the home she looks through her parents old things, trying to find antyhing that will make her feel better. She finds some old DVDs that they used to watch as a family.
4. She sits alone and watches one of the shows. It involves time travel and the girls gets obsessed with this and wants to use this as a way to escape her life and go back to when her parents are alive.
5. She gets books about advanced physics and theories about time travel being possible
6. The obsession with science get her bullied even more and her failing ideas push her to try and kill herself in the school bathrooms with some tablets she found in the home.
7. She is found by another student before she gets critical and is taken to hospital.
8. She wakes up in the hospital, surprised, but still convinced that she wants to die so she walks up to the roof with all the strength she has.
9. Just as she is standing on the edge, a nurse who has followed her stops her ad they simply sit on the roof and chat.
10.(a) The nurse understands the girl, they get along well and eventually the nurse adopts the girl into her own family.
10.(b) The nurse is actually the girl from the future who came back in time to tell herself that she was never going to jump but building a time machine was not the answer either, she just needed to find a friend who could support her.
10.(c) We do not find out who the nurse is but it is hinted that the nurse is the girl from the future.

Lighting Research

Lighting a room evenly or in 'high key' normally uses three lights; a key light, a back light and a fill light. The key light lights the main area of the room as a kind of flooding light, normally placed in front of the set to cover most of the main objects. The back light comes from the area behind the shot to assure that any important elements near the back of the shot are also lit well. Finally a fill light is placed somewhere around the shot to fill any shadows that could make the light seem uneven and to assure the lighting is softer.
'Low Key' lighting is when there is high contrast between the light and shadowy areas, often used to make a shot appear more dramatic or to make the tone more sinister. I will not being using this kind of lighting for our project but it would normally use only a key light and sometimes a back light but never a fill light.
For lighting I am also looking at Gels and since our film contains a shot that is mainly seem to be lit by daylight from a window, I am looking into using a blue gel over at least one of the lights to make sure the light looks like normal daylight. I am also considering using a cool light instead of three red heads to ensure our lighting not to harsh and has a soft edge.
At the moment I am considering using a red head as a key light, the cool light as a back light and the red head with blue gel as a filler.

Character Development

All stories are all essentially in three parts of character development, known in most cases as Acts. These Acts give writers a familiar framework that the audience will recognise but at the same time give them the freedom to experiment with different plot devices within the Acts

Act I is the Departure and Separation
> World of Common Day - A normal ordinary day for the character that will be changed
> Call to Adventure - The character gets called to the adventure
> Refusal to Call - Possible chance for the character to at first refuse the call to adventure
> Supernatural Aid - The character gets help from some supernatural source such as magic or paranormal devices
> Crossing the Threshold - The first step towards the adventure that the character takes
> Belly of the Whale - The first bad situation which the character is involved in

Act II is the Descent, Initiation and Penetration
> Road of Trails - The many problems the character must face on the journey to the conclusion
> Meeting with a Goddess - An event where the character meets someone wise and can help with their quest
> Woman as Temptress Atonement - A woman or man uses seduction to take the character off track
> With the Father - Loss of father figure or other major figure
> Apotheosis - The moment of climax or action in the plot
> The Ultimate Boon - The reward gained from the apotheosis

Act III is the Return
> Refusal of the Return - A situation in which the character would not want to return to his original state
> The Magic Flight - The character returning home through some shorter magical journey
> Rescue from Within - The characters realising they are morally good
> Crossing the Threshold - Returning back into the threshold from the beginning
> Master of the Two Worlds - The character becomes the moral centre of both his world and the other
> Freedom to Live - The character is released from previous restraints and allowed to live

My Roles

For the recreation projects my role is Lighting and Camera.
This will entail me being in charge of deciding the type of lights and positioning of the lights in the location that we use. I will also be the one who sets up the lights on set. I will be doing research into how to properly light a set and have look in detail at the original to ensure I can light it accurately.
As camera operator I will decide what type of camera to use and will operate the camera set, I will also be in charge of setting up the tripod and any other equipment we might need such as a slider. I will also soon be completing an annotated version of the storyboard.

Camera Choice

I have decided to use the Panasonic AG-DVX100B for filming for several reason, firstly it runs off it own battery, not phantom power, meaning that I will not have to worry about setting up extra equipment attached the camera I will only have to ensure that I have access to multiple batteries.
