Music

We decided that the music needed for the film opening has to be fast, up-beat and happy to reflect our protagonist's character.

Songs we considered:




My favourite song choice is Heartbeat - Scouting For Girls. It is upbeat, grabs you by the first chords and is iconic as a feel-good song for people of all ages.

Change of Plan

We have decided to make a slight adjustment in our film opening. We think it would be good to have ashley playing a girl who absolutely loves football but is really bad at playing it. This would mean re-filming the football footage and having her getting hit with the ball a lot as well as having her friends being supportive but not so enthusiastic as their friend. The new start to the opening will also add a new location as we will shoot some parts in a house to show a girls excitement as match day begins, this also allows for us to have her listening to the radio so we can have any music we want throughout the opening.
Some adverts we saw that inspire our new opening are the following Halifax and Barclay's ads:

Vlog On Location

Train Shot

We took a practice shot of the train leaving the station as we could use it as part of the journey to the station. We liked the overhead shot but it would make anybody on the platform look too vulnerable.

Football Flashbacks

As part of our film opening we encounter some flashbacks to show the audience our protagonist's love for football. We have decided on 3 flashbacks which are shown in this clip, so far we haven't got the actual sound but we do have the white fade which will be before and after each flashback.

Our Storyboard

Here's the basic storyboard we have for our film.

Football Fail

Here's a shot we found on the flip of Ashleigh's football fail for our opening.

On Location

Me and Shaileyee went to our film location, the Emirates Stadium, to familiarize ourselves with were we would be filming and to see what shots would look good. We took some test shots whilst we were there.
