Planning - Mind Map

Planning - Mind Map


For the beginning stages of our planning of the narrative, Izzy and I decided to brainstorm our ideas by drawing out a mind map to plan out what we could do for our final piece. We had three main narrative ideas, however we decided against one of them completely as we discovered that another group in our class was planning on doing a very similar idea, so we chose to stick with our first idea which revolved around a girl doing her makeup routine in the morning, which seems normal until she receives a mysterious phonecall from an unknown number. We have decided that either one of our friends or I will play the female character in the narrative, and we are planning on asking one of our classmates to play the male character who abruptly enters the room at the end of the scene. We haven't yet decided on any particular costumes, however we have a clear idea of how we would like the hair and makeup to look.

We have also decided that we're going to edit the footage so that it's in black and white instead of colour as this will create a more mysterious and tense effect. To reinforce this we're planning on incorporating some non-diegetic music into the background of the clip, which will be present throughout the narrative to increase the feeling of suspense and tension.

Planning out our ideas like this has been helpful as it allowed us to write down all our ideas and sort through them before making an executive decision which be both agreed on.
