Reason for change and changed of script.

Today - Marzuq Azam (22/10/09)

Unfortunately Carl and Michael have not turned up to work on the filming today, and therefore I have no props. So i am going to have to adapt the script and characters slightly, as we do not have some animals and scenes.

First I will change the script accordingly to the available props.
Then I am going to do the filming as this is the most important.


Below is the adapted script. Adapted bits in red.

Certificate - U
Filming type – Animation
Characters and Scene – Play Dough/toys and Crafted Scene.
Film Scene – School Building/Playground/Jungle

Characters –
Ryan – A little red and yellow man, who can teleport, sometimes.
Maz – A Dragon, the king of the jungle with super human strength.
Carl – An evil stealth frog.
Michael – A flying cow.

Narrative Ideas –
1. Close up of Maz the dragon face roaring. Zoom out Maz is on school building and jumps onto the playground where he then strolls into Jungle.

2. Carl sees Maz go into the forest and then close up of his evil eyes. He leaps from the building straight into the jungle.

3. Ryan rams his car through the forest; the car hits Carl. Carl then returns to the playground where he tells about his plan to takeover the jungle.

4. During the conversation Michael the cow flies over and hears the plan and rushes to tell Maz.

5. When Maz hears the news he turns into superMaz and he roars and charges off.

6. Introduction credits start to roll.

Credits analysis

Marzuq Azam:
After seeing this clip, I have analysed and decided that if we done an overlay of credits whilst the film plays, it would look very good and blend in with the film.
So I have decided to do the credit at home and overlay it over the animation with a lower opacity. My aim is to work out how to do this, and have it ready for the first or second filming lesson.
This clip is a very good example and i think it is very good, and this is why this would be good for our film clip too.

Credits Draft

This is a quick draft of what the credits will be like.

Call Sheet

Marzuq Azam.
I could not do any filming today because none of the other people from my group turned up, nor did any props. Without the props i could not do any filming whatsoever.

I will use the next two filming lessons to catch up and improve what I have missed because of this. This will mean that I will have little time to do the filming and this may lead to less quality work, so to avoid this, I will plan and bring props and equipment to the next lesson, so if my group do not turn up again then I can do it by myself and efficiently. I will bring my animal characters and scene backgrounds, in order to keep up what i have missed, I will do the music for the film at home.

Mazground Storyboard & Timeline

Above is the storyboard, created for our Childrens Film Intro (MazGround).
the story board is a basic view of our ideas for our film. we have the idea of animals with super powers who are at conflict over the throne. there are both good and evil in the film and out intro is mainly based on the introduction of the characters.



Above is the timeline, created for our Childrens Film Intro (MazGround).
the timeline is a format breakdown of our children's film it is broken down into 20 second intervals and is explaining what is happening in each section and the characters that are involved .

Storyboarding Back to the future.

we had to watch a the opening clip of back to the future and analyzed the opening sequence looking at the sound effects, camera shots, the mise-en-scene and the character position and converted it into our own storyboard.
Carl done the Sound effects and character position, and Maz did the Camera shots and mise-en-scene.
