Storyboard

This is the storyboard for the opening of the film clip we created.

Time table for filming

We will film the interior shots on january the 10th.
We will film the first set of exterior shots on january the 15th and the second set on the 19th.
These are all times that are convenient for sam and also that have good weather conditions.

We now have official approval to use our song selection from the record company.

Costume design

Our costume design for the character of sammy was a relatively simple choice, as we knew we needed to portray him as a screwball character, this was easy to do by simply making him wear casual shoes, roughly put on tie and shirt not all buttoned up. He also sleeps with his skateboard, this makes the audience think that his priorates are on the skateboard which he sleeps with in place of his girlfriend.

His girlfriend is dressed in complete opposition to sammy, she is smartly dressed and tidy looking.

We have emailed the company that owns the music we intend to use asking for permission to use it.

Music choice

Our music choice was heavily debated, first we looked to gothic rock such as the ghoulies, of whom Chloe is a friend of the lead singer. We then decided that this would not be in keeping with the theme of the intro. We then looked to bands such as NOFX, less than jake and rancid. we then briefly considered Lupe Fiasco before finally settling on the wonder years - new years with carl weathers.

Juno intro analysis

 Establishing shot: This is the first shot for the film which is a tracking shot of juno walking along in a straight line. The camera is moving at the same speed as Juno which gives the feeling of us walking along with her. The shot being directly from the side is highly effective as it allows us to see the scenery around her whilst still focusing on Juno as the centre of the shot. After this Juno walks behind a tree and upon coming out the other side she is transferred in to a cartoon world.

 This shot is part of the ending sequence of the introduction to Juno and shows Juno transferring once more back into reality, this gives a really nice feeling to the intro as it shows Juno is no longer going through a 'dream-like' walk shot and now shows that things are about to get serious i.e: pregnancy test.

This shot shows Juno now in the cartoon world,
The titles are shown to be in an almost sketched
this accentuates the quirky and alternative feel to the film. This is the first time we encounter Juno and her boyish costuming, this is effective as it allows us immediately to accustom ourselves to Juno's personality.

Music/sound:

The music playing during the intro is Barry Louis Polisar- All I want is you, which is a kooky, country song, this further enhances the feeling of quirkiness.
