22. animatic of our storyboard

21. The sound

The sound for our opening title was going to be a mixture of soundtrack and voice-over narration. It starts with narration in the playground scenes and then cuts to a motownish/funky track when you see the male actor much older and when he's walking down the road. It then cuts out straight away when he falls over onto the zebra crossing and then when walking into his office calm music is playing to set the location of an office job and then it fades once he recieves the invitation from his secretary and dialogue takes place between the secretary and Gordon Twiginam.

17. key elements

The key elements that have to appear in our film are:

• The main title of the film is one of the very first things that have to appear in the first seconds of the film 
• giving the audience a slight hint about what the movie is about however as little as possible information should be shared to keep the audience wanting to see more, so not too much should be happening in the first few minutes. 
• the production name 
• a clear introduction of the main characters 
• Simple but catchy background music to maintain a nice flow 
• voice over by the main character to set the scene and tell us about what is going on.

18. A brief sypnosis of the whole film:

• The film starts with a young man narrating over the top of the opening titles and he gives you background information into his life before he became older and how he got bullied in primary school and wasn't very popular

• It then goes into the present day and shows him being quite successful and how he's changed a little bit (still silly and dorky however) and is working for a big company and his life is great. He then gets an invitation to a High School Reunion when he goes into work one day and his past comes back to haunt him.

• He decides to go to the school reunion with encouragement from his parents when he goes to visit them one afternoon. It's a whole weekend exertion and he packs up his bags.

• He arrives and the first people he meets once at the hotel is his old bullies who haven't changed a bit! They trip him up straight away and start taking the mick out of him.

• The film then goes onto show the whole weekend and how the young man gets himself into a lot of embarassing situations when trying to be popular and he meets his old girl crush again and embarasses himself then also. But then in the end it all works out and the young man finds his girl crush and the big manly group stop bullying him..well for now!
