How I have Evolved My Idea

  

At the start of planning my firsts step was to decide what genre I wanted to use. I eventually chose Comedy and made a mind map laying out all the generic features of comedy to try and stimulate some ideas.

I then came to the decision to make and action comedy and started to write down what ever came in my mind just to get some ideas flowing and I can develop it from there. 

Next I made a storyboard so I can visualise my idea and this will help when I wanted to write my script.

 

After I Had written my script I made a few changes in the next couple of days. These included,

1. Stanley will no longer have any lines apart from Hi... and then he gets interrupted by ken.
2. There will be more screen time of Hugo getting dressed and panicking before Stanley comes in

Also instead of it being a phone call to ken it will now be face time. The camera will focus on Hugo's phone displaying ken on it. It will then zoom into the phone and will transform as if you are looking at ken from his phones point of view. it then will vary from Hugo's house to Hugo's phone to ken afterwards.



A few days later I had made some more changes regarding the script

1. The script changes make Stanley and ken fight instead of talk
2. there is a new long shot added in to show the argument on a large scale and to emphasis how stupid they are.

I made these changes as I thought that it would show the audience how much ken really does change in the rest of the film. I did this because when ken becomes friends with Stanley the audience can now look back on this and compare it to then and really see how far ken has came in his journey for finding who he really is on the island.

Then I drew a new storyboard as I was happy with my idea and I can use it to help me film.

During filming me and my cast decided to add a few more shots in, take some out and change some of the lines.

I chose to do this as when I was there in the flesh ready to film some of the shots and lines just didn't seem believable so I changed them. For example I added a new shot of Hugo picking up keys and turning on the radio.

I also made quite a large change by removing Hugo's mother from the film and changed it so the audience doesn't know that Hugo is skipping school. I did this because I think by slowly revealing that Hugo is a rebel character it provides me with the tools so I can create an element of surprise later on in the film.
