Dividing up our work

Me and Ellen did a joint film so both of us had different inputs and ideas so this is what I cr
Up with and what Ellen came up with. Starting in order of the film I came up with the idea of doing a picture montage of our protagonist Tim with a voice over as that could tell you the context of the story without it seeming like it was dragging on. Me and Ellen gathered photos of Tim and Emily singular and together which we thought were appropriate for the scene. After the picture montage scene I came up with idea of doing a 5-7 second transition of it saying 'Matthew Moltell' and the date he was born and died to add the to effect of what happened and the emotion. This is followed with a church scene what I wanted as a back base to the pictures so it had something to link with. I filmed a bit of the world war 1&2 stand in the church to show the dedication and the respect made years ago and how it was important. I started with a low angle on Emily walking in so it could show her feet as she walks in. I used a mid angle on the church and zoomed in on the ww1&2 stand so people could read it and undertanad why it was used. The next scene is in Marlwood local library which Ellen came up with. The script was made up by both of us but she filmed this section. The next scene is between the mother and daughter (daisy McQuaid and Emily Sawtell) Ellen came up with the idea of using a family member as she did want to use a grandad but to do that/find a old person was quite difficult so I said about using a mum as that would be easier. I thought about using the 30/80 degree rule so it showed a normal conversation and Then i thought about doing a mid long shot outside with the window open so we could see both of them. The following scene is at the woods which Ellen filmed. We both had different inputs of it but Ellen filmed it. The scene at the end Ellen suddenly decided that the wood scene cut off to easily without an explanation which made it seem more confusing for our audience, Ellen decided about doing a very quick/short scene at the end to show Emily crying and that she was still alive so it seemed there was a sequel actually to the end of it and it's quite like a cliffhanger.
