Bringing all of our ideas together

We have developed our story idea further to get us closer to a final idea and ready to move on in the process of pre-production.

When Not To Interfere

Opening:

Poster advertising talent show, which is pulled down by the mime

Storyboard of opening shot

Establishing shots of the stage etc.

the lights dim- only have simple lighting on the stage

Lighting option 1

Lighting option 2

the noise of the audience goes quiet

stage

quite a simple looking stage- a bit run down
'TALENT' sign hanging above the stage- one of the letters hanging off

First act:

Gymnast (slapstick comedy)
She thinks she is good but she is actually not very talented

she is very cocky

She has dramatic lighting on the stage
She dramatically prepares for her performance
She just about makes it around the beam once when the mime pretends to accidentally turn off the light

the mime has a comical light bulb appear above his head when he has the idea to turn off the light
the mime shh's the audience

Gymnast routine storyboard

Gymnast falling

Mime turning off the light storyboard

Second act:

Dramatic monologue performer (dark humor)
Shakespearean performance
performer starts to read from his script (sub-titles on screen)
the mime has changed the script to words involving dark humor relating to Shakespeare
performer is annoyed and angry at the changes in his script
performer catches the mime laughing, realises the mime has been the one causing the performances to fail, and goes to plot revenge with the other performers

Third act/Ending:

(irony)
the mime goes to do his performance
he starts performing (stuck in a box routine)
the other performers can be seen at the side of the stage (behind the curtain) watching him angrily
a hook (controlled by the other performers) coming out from around the curtain and hooks the mime- pulling him off stage
(L falls from 'TALENT' sign above stage)
