Treatment
1 - Core Themes:
Our core theme is to ‘Cease the day’, make the most out of the time he has left. Our idea was ‘My Sisters Keeper’ meets ‘The Bucket List’. The binary oppositions within our teaser trailer are going to be; happy/sad, health/illness. The Logline of our teaser trailer is going to be ‘Family is stronger then anything else
2 – Core Characters
The core characters of our teaser trailer are as follows:
The protagonist – The two siblings would be the protagonist as they have never had their parents to be there for them in the way that other children have, so that they begin to express their emotion with anger and form a strong bond between one and other.
The adversary – This is going to be the adoption. This would be the fact that the two siblings are left to be there for each other and have trouble fitting in with being adopted by the foster parents that they may have to put up with, by being tear aways.
3 – The Three Acts
Act 1 - The set up – Film can start off with the children with the foster parents or alone, either way it wants to show happiness because we can then put a twist on it.
Act 2 – The set back – This would be the fact the children do not wish to have foster parents and will try to do anything to be different to become the tear aways they are.
Act 3 – The Resolution – The resolution would be that they will be together all the time causing problems how ever they could be together still with no problems, and have had a change of heart and agree to keep each other safe, and always be there for one another.
4 – Additional Characters
The additional characters within our film are as follows:
Protagonist – The young boy
Villain – Adoption
Heroin – The prize/reward of family that they have
Father – Foster parents trying to do best for the two siblings, and making them feel comfortable
Helper – Both siblings wish to help each other equally
Mentor – Both siblings will be trying to keep them both positive that theres always something better out there for them.
5 – The Setting
We are going to be having various settings for our teaser trailer due to the fact that he is going to be that they will be wanting to try and have a normal life alone and do not wish to be fostered. Some of the settings are going to include, house, school and maybe out side, these are the settings that we feel should be included, as they do not have alot the places will be set out to be common.

Update
Siddy
Due to problems with the media piece in the current moment of time of trying to gain a feel of realism because of our aim being so hard we were going to do a short media trailer that would of had to give of a sense of emotion to the audience and viewers of the trailer, it would have to be upsetting to the viewers and cause anxiety for them to want to watch the film if there was ever a full production.
But because of this being to hard we eventually became to realize that we would have to change it some how this would make things move much faster, we have realized that trying to include something like cancer in our trailer would of been impossible so we began to develop another story which would include the same kind of lines, but this time with two tear aways that are in adoption, this we will be able to do much more easily then the previous objective.
We will see how this pans out and it should eventually work out well, as this isn't as hard to do this time around and with the skills we have gained we will finish it much more quicker then we would of.

Finally we have now got our Animatic of the trailer, this took some time and full credit goes too Ryan Fulton for creating this in Sony Vegas, as you can see this fits well with our music choice and should work well for our actual media piece, this will be what will hopfully pan out well in the end.

2. Weekly Diary Date
Siddy
Friday, 15 October 2010
During the lesson we have finished finding out what we will be doing, we have finally completed our storyboards, moodboards, and have been looking into the MAC software i've found out theres quite alot of resources on the MAC for our group to use, as there is many more things we can create for example our songs could be created via the Garage Band, this is a good piece of software as it has sound effects we may need in future reference.
There is also a more advanced editing piece of software called final cut express which will allow us to have a better cut then the past media piece this will benefit us alot because we will have improved in the software, looking at the MAC's allowed me to see how much potential they really do have.
The main priority now is to complete any work that is not finished properly for the next week this should be quite straight forward.

These are my completed story boards, as you can see we have the outline of out story so far which would be our guidline for when we start filming we will then be trying to make sure that we try and stick to it the best we can but the best thing is that they can be edited and tweaked to fit the trailer.

Moodboard Completed
Siddy
This is the final moodboard that we have completed, as you can see we have began to show a devide between the two, Happiness would be the childs side all the good memories that have happened, where as the bad side would be symbolising the childs cancer that they have been diagnosed with, this is a basic out line of good vs evil, which would go well with our trailer, this was created by Ryan Fulton in fireworks, with help from the rest of us, this was something that was different rather then have it done on paper, using the computers to our advantage.

Technical Code Analysis
Siddy
With out media piece there will most likely be alot of different technical codes to express our media piece;
The camera angles will be able to express the point of view and relation ship between two different people and the environment they have been placed in, it depends on how the angle is it could have an emotional meaning example of this would be if the camera was directly overhead it can give a god like feeling to the viewer.
The frequency and number of cuts this would be whether they are a type of genre ours will have to have a fair amount of cuts because its a Drama, these will not be as short and quick as a Horror teaser trailer would be.
Lighting intensity will most likely be bright in the happy parts and the light will gradually go down and fade partly dark giving a sense of sadness.
Sound effects are not going to be placed alot we only will have a few relevant sound effects for certain parts an example would be the hospital it will need a 'beep' for the life support machine.
These are the main things so far the are important to take into consideration.
