Today
Matt the man with mind and skills for film, came round are class, and we had to
pitch him our ideas. So after making a crappy slideshow we were ready to
present our idea. It was simple and easy. I knew he would love it.
So
the first group went, now it was our turn. He slowly strolled to are table,
with a grin on his face. Ashen’s sales man’s hat
was on. So I began, the arm movements were animated, the facial expressions
were expressed, the vocals were dynamic. I was a don. After a glorious intense
34 seconds it was all over, we sat back quietly, waiting for the judgments.
He
hated it.
Ok,
thats a bit extreme, but yeah he hated it. He loved that the idea was relevant
to our society now, but it just wasn’t an
opening sequence. He didn’t like
the different locations, and he believed my schema (the way I view the world
and make judgement and decision, on events I have lived in the past) was too
American, and obviously we couldn’t pull
that off.
So
here we go, starting from day one again. Adam suggested that maybe the
character could be waiting in a doctors waiting room. Which I kinda liked the
idea but I had no clue how it would end, and how to make it an opening
sequence.
It
was time to go back to the writing board, and shoot out some new ideas.
