Planning
The task we were given was to use the key narrative theories to create a micro drama with our class, we had the choice to work together or in separate groups, the choice to work in separate groups was made - Boys vs Girls. Not only were we sure that we would make a better micro drama than the girls but we also knew we would work together much better in a smaller group and our creative minds wouldn't clash, as well as our personalities if we were to work with the girls.
So the planning process began, we had all viewed each others pitches beforehand, so the case was to choose a pitch that would work well with the facilities and budget that we had. Therefore Georges pitch was the one we all thought would work best. The pitch was that 5 boys were on a 'holiday' at a rented house where they would be greeted by a serial killer, and they would consequently each be individually killed.
The aspects of narrative our group thought we could use were to some extent Propps 8 recurring character types, in having a villain involved in our micro drama but apart from that the other 7 characters such as the doner, helper, princess, dispatcher, hero and the false hero would not fit into our drama. Todorovs narrative theory went along with our micro drama better but we still decided to change it up abit, we planned to include a state of equilibrium at the outset, a disruption of the equilibrium and a recognition that there has been a disruption, as our micro drama ends un-solved an attempt to repair the disruption and a reinstatement of the equilibrium would not be needed.
Our production schedule was to film on the 2nd of November, Ben told us that we could use his house for filming so we organised the date and seen as though we had a whole day we knew we would get all of the filming done that we needed.
