Plan B and Solutions

So after reviewing carefully the recorded material and understanding some of my challenges, I realized I really need to kick into second gear if I want this project done, well, on time. So I realized that 2 minutes is too short for the content and technique I wanted to shoot with but I really want to stick with my storyline. So I am making a small edit to the story line it will allow me to cram the information I thought of including at first. The change would come at the beginning and how the character is introduced. A long shot would be taken to capture the room in a quick sweep and then the character would walk in through the door. Hi face would be cut off to create curiosity. However, before entering the room a discussion would be held outside between the mom and the boy explaining that he can't be running of on adventures to find the Holy Crayon during his recess in school. She also explains that he need to go to bed immediately and he can't stay up reading books any longer. He agree and thats when the character joins us. As he walks in the camera catches everything except his face. He slightly shuts the door, lays down, and shuts the lights off. The camera then drifts off out into the hall and picks up on the mother activities in the office. We hear and see her looking at maps and journals and explaining that she'll be on the "Cambodia Trip". The door then closes and the screen blacks out. We cut back into the room where we still hear a slight murmur coming from the office. The boy then turns over and we can only see his silhouette. The boy makes sure the mom isn't walking about and turns his television on. The characteristic Indiana Jones theme songs comes on from the television and the camera pans around the boy, finally revealing his face with a somewhat adventurous smirk. As you can see many of the same elements are kept while be more dynamic than the previous clip add. I also believe more information is given or displayed by following this storyline. I will be shooting tomorrow and Wednesday in hopes of capturing everything and putting it together before Friday. Additionally, I will be filming in the early afternoon 2-4 PM in order to be able to capture the silhouettes I am looking for. I will be posting production process images and some reflections on my challenges overcome and the some new ones that might emerge (hopefully none will). See you guys tomorrow.
A finished storyboard for my new idea will be added in tomorrow's post.
