First Video
Today we filmed our "dog" opening and it was a disaster. We weren't prepared enough so Samir didn't look like a dog and the acting was pretty lame. We are going to have to re-think our opening and re-shoot it all tomorrow.

Our story plot
Our Story Plot
We have decided to do a story about a boy who picks up a dog from the pound but the dog turns out to be really naughty and a bit of a menace. We have decided that Samir is the dog called Chance, Ian is the dog's owner Johnny. And That I am Johnny's mum and also the camera woman.
We have chosen not to use any extra's in our video as we don't feel we need them.
Altogether there will be 3 actors, me, Ian and Samir.
We found it quite hard to decide what to do our opening about as we were unsure of the kind of footage we could shoot without it being unsuitable to children. Samir had the idea of using clowns but we realised this could be scary to small children. We came up with the idea about doing it about dogs because we found the trailer for the film Homeward Bound on YouTube. This film was around when we were children and the humour and violence is kept to a childrens perspective which is what we want our film to portray.
We couldn't copy the homeward bound story plot too much as it is copy right and also quite hard for us so we deciede to change the plot and do it about the naughtest dog in the film, Chance.
Our story contains Chance being a menece of a dog and wrecking Johnny's house when he brings him back from the pound.
The opening ends with Chance scratching up all the furniture and breaking everything in Johnny's house.

Our Time Line
This is our completed time line.
We had 7 shots altogether and we have decided that the credits will come ion in the second scene rather than the first because the opening scene is quite dramatic...
