Production Company

As I was away for the lesson where we learnt about after effects, I'm not going to be able to do something too technological for my production logo, I've decided I'm just going to play around with fonts I like and have them appear on screen in different manners.

I have chosen my studio to be called, 'Radiation Studios' and my production company to be 'Underwood Productions' as its my surname.

Soundtrack

For the music for my piece I am going to use the free and legal music download site www.jamendo.com

from here I chose Maya Filipic's song entitled 'I Don't Know Anymore' as I felt that it fitted with the tone of my media.

Narrative of the video.

Narrative usually possess two components. The story and the process of its telling. Certain film directors and producers alter the regular narative of a film to create a puzzle like effect, like that in Memento. I have decided that I am going to do my narrative in a chronological order as it is going to be filmed in a documentary style, and would make more sense in that way, letting the audience know what is happening in the lives of these people as it does.

Actors

Luckily for me my mum is close friends with a Swiss family in my village. I often babysit for them and Lily, aged 8 is a keen actress, she goes to stagecoach in Norwich and likes performing, they are also all fluent in french and english. The mum, Isabelle is happy to help out and get the kids involved so I have found my actors suited to each character.

Script Plan: English and French









VIOLET: Is it on?
CAMERA WOMAN: Yes. Go ahead Violet.
VIOLET: Hello. My name is Violet. I am seven years old. I live with my mummy and my little brother Alex. I like to sing and dance and act. I used to go to a stage class but I've had to stop.
CAMERA WOMAN: Why have you had to stop?
VIOLET: Because I got really bad headaches. The lights were so bright. Mum took me to the doctors and he told me to go to hospital for a scan.
CAMERA WOMAN: What did the scan tell you?
VIOLET: They told me I have a lump growing in my head. 


CAMERA WOMAN: When did you realise that something was wrong with Violet?
MUM: It was about three weeks ago at her play rehearsal. So I took her to the doctor, and then to hospital. That's when we got the news.


MUM: She has six months left. 









VIOLET: Est-ce sur?

FEMME Appareil photo: Oui. Allez-y Violet.

VIOLET: Bonjour. Mon nom est Violet. Je suis âgé de sept ans. Je vis avec ma maman et mon petit frère Alex. J'aime chanter et danser et d'agir. J'ai l'habitude d'aller à une classe stade, mais j'ai dû arrêter.

CAMERA FEMME: Pourquoi avez-vous arrêter?

VIOLET: Parce que j'ai eu des maux de tête très mauvais. Les lumières étaient si brillants. Maman m'a emmené chez le médecin et il m'a dit d'aller à l'hôpital pour un scanner.

CAMERA FEMME: Qu'est-ce que l'analyse que vous dites?

VIOLET: Ils m'ont dit que j'avais une bosse de plus en plus dans ma tête.




CAMERA FEMME: Quand avez-vous réalisé que quelque chose n'allait pas avec Violet?

MUM: C'était il ya trois semaines à sa répétition jouer. Alors je l'ai emmené chez le médecin, puis à l'hôpital. C'est quand nous sommes arrivés les nouvelles.


MUM: Elle dispose de six mois à gauche
