/// IDEAS1 Planning for micro-drama

Planning + Chosen plot

We knew we wanted a piece of drama following on from a previous micro-drama a A2 group had done. In their drama, a masked character kills several people in a quest to win the female he wants. At the end, he has won the girl and then are holding hands while getting on to the bus. We wanted to use this same main character, also killing several people, but instead of him battling to get the girl, he already has the girl. The scene starts with '5 months later' and the couple want into class all lovey dovey. Then a cowboy enters, stealing the females heart. The masked character gets angry and kills the cowboy. A key laughing point in the previous micro-drama from a previous group was a 'missing footage' scene, as soon as the main character was about to kill someone. We decided that would be a comedic point in our micro-drama as well, therefore when the masked character kills the cowboy, 'missing footage' appears. After this, a student in the same classroom comes up to the killer and tells him off, which upsets him, causing him to kill him as well (also incorporating the missing file scene). This happens with the teacher as well, ending with the masked character walking off with his girl again.

This blog post is a practice shoot we did to reintroduce ourselves to filming and editing in preparation for our micro-drama and our film opening. It was also a complete introduction to the software for the members of our group that didn't do Media Studies for GCSE. After finishing, I was reminded of the shortcuts in the software and also the different angles and recording techniques.
