Final idea and filmmaking

• During our project we have some problems. At first, the topic is quite abstract; it is hard for us to research.
• Secondly, when we interview and survey it is not easy for get the real result because people afraid to say the truth about their experience swearing. This is sensitive topic.
• Finally, we have some problems to control the budget for the project and think which media product is effectively and do not waste money for mistake. That is why we think and discuss careful when produce media product start.
• However, we enjoy this project so much, and hope it will be good.

And we try to find a reasonalbe script. It is simple and also meaningful.Finally we choose one:

The screen fades to black and the text “One nice day” comes up, and we see a grandmother to sit down on some bench in a garden and she is enjoying beautiful day, and she starts to read her newspaper. After a few minutes, she hears a very noisy voice and some rude words close to her. She realises that is a young boy talking on his mobile phone. The boy sits down next to her, and keeps talking using those rude words. Grandmother already feels annoyed, but she is still calm. The screen fades to black and text “10 minutes later” comes up. After that we see the same situation. The grandmother starts it to move closer to the boy and stare at him, again screen fades to black and text “20 minutes later” comes up. After that we see the grandmother already very close to this boy and still staring at him, and screen fades to black and text “30 minutes later” comes up, the boy realises that the grandmother is sitting very close to him and her face changes into an angry expression, so this boy asks her questions using rude words. When he finishes the grandmother says “a very bad kiddo”, and she takes his mobile and stands up. After that she starts to dance with this song in the background for 1 minute. When she finishes her dance she throws away boy’s mobile and just walks away and this boy is very shocked of what this grandmother has done. While the grandmother walks away, a big voice over says “We understand that you have already got use to using these words, but we just want to ask you to respect others”. The text “Rude words are offensive” comes up and in the bottom of the screen the text “Stop Swearing” text will come up with blurry background of the grandmother, and the screen fades in black with the address of our website.

However, I’m still thinking am I suppose to dub the voice when the song is being played, I just change the words “Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession”, “Love me or hate me, that is the question”, “If you love me then thank you! If you hate me then f**k you!”. The audience will understand why this grandmother is dancing like crazy in front of the boy, but I still need to ask members of my group to think about this.

We start make a new schedule and produce the short film. Producing this short film have 4 steps:

* Development. The script is written and drafted into a workable blueprint for a film: All staff.
* Pre-production. Preparations are made for the shoot, in which cast and crew are hired, locations are selected, and sets are built : Kathy and Fanli.
* Production. The raw elements for the finished film are recorded: All staff.
* Post-production. The film is edited; production sound (dialogue) is concurrently (but separately) edited, music tracks (and songs) are composed, performed and recorded; sound effects are designed and recorded; and any other computer-graphic 'visual' effects are digitally added, all sound elements are mixed into "stems" then the stems are mixed then married to picture and the film is fully completed ("locked"): Karina and Ripina.
* Sales and distribution. The film is screened for potential buyers (distributors), is picked up by a distributor and reaches its theater and/or home media audience: Ripina
In this process I contribute all steps but mainly in Production and Sales and distribution. I will be director of this film and after the film is finished I will plan for media and promotion.
On week 7 Toula shows us a interesting film : "Green Porno" of Isabella Rossellini and ask us about how to bring it to the market? These ideas in class help me to think about our film and makerting for this.
