Tricky Shots List
In our film we will have quite a few tricky shots the main one of these being the coin flipping scene.. this will be hard to film as we need to get the movement of the coin as it spins through the air without the camera loosing focus, which will be hard as we need to pan. We intend on recording this shot hand held as it will enable us to follow the movement of a coin. To ensure this shot goes right we are going to do some practise shots on Friday 30th November. Below is an example of a slow mo coin flip similar to the one we intend to create.
We also need to practise another tricky shot which will be filming Sarah standing in a puddle as this will be a shot we can only do once and will have to make sure that the shot before this will blend seamlessly as it is an usual place to film considering the shot before will probably be either a long shot or a medium close up of face/upper body. Another problem with this could be that we're relying on the weather being miserable and rainy, this is the same with another shot where Dianne asks Sarah to take the dog out and her excuse is that it is raining, if it isn't raining this will cause issues with filming and we may have to change the shooting script or improvise a little.
For our title sequence we want to create the effect of lots of coins falling down, this shot will be tricky as it will be close up and we risk the coins bouncing back up from the floor and out of the shot.
Here is an example we have found on Youtube:
This shot is good because we can see the coins falling well it is in slow motions. We could use the slow motion effect to we can show the detail better, also so we don't need to use as many coins and it will take up the same amount of time. However in our film we want to have a wider shot so we can see from where they are falling from to the floor and then a closer shot of the coins hitting the floor.
Another tricky shot we will be filming is when Sarah smashes her phone screen, to do this we have a got another phone the same which already has a smashed screen we will have to stop the camera and swap the phones quickly before Sarah throws it, we will probably film this more than once so that we can ensure our shots match up perfectly without a jump in the middle where we have had to stop filming.
In our film there is quite a few tricky shots but by doing practise shots before hand, planning on how to do the shots and watching videos and tutorials of how to do things we hope that we should be able to make these shots look effortless and have them blend in perfectly with the rest of the filming we do!
On the 31st November we recorded some of our own attempts at the tricky shots, from doing this we now feel we have a better idea of how to create the shots we want in our final film.

How Propp's theory of narrative.
Propps theory of narrative is the thought that fairytales from all over the world were very similar despite the fact people couldn't travel to each other. Propp argued that all fairytales were constructed of certain plot elements making them all very similar with a story line that have functions occurring in the same order. His study is based on the research of 100 folk tales and looking how they were constructed. He found that not all of the 31 functions he found were present in every one the majority were.
In Propps theory of narrative there are seen to be 8 Character roles ( one character can take on more than one role ).
1. Villan - A person who is capable of crime or wickedness, this person is also responsible for specific trouble, harm or damage.
2. Hero - A character tho seeks something, often motivated by lack of something. The hero doesn't have to be heroic in the way most people would understand, heros can be male or female, brave or cowardly.
3. Donor - Who provides an object with some magic property.
4. Helper - Who aids the hero.
5. Princess - reward for the hero and the object of the villans schemes. Again this is not necessarily a beautiful damsel in distress - the princess can be male!
6. Father - Who rewards the hero.
7. Dispatcher - Who send the hero on his way.
8. False Hero - usually appears to be nice but isn't.
After the character roles are distinguished there are then 31 functions that are deemed to happen in a film.
Steps 1-7 are preparation this is setting the scene introducing the character and creating a sense of foreboding.
Steps 8-10 are the complication, this is where it becomes apparent that there is going to be a twist in the storyline.
Steps 10-15 is transference this is where the hero moves from one place and he is often tested on this journey and is given or finds a magical agent- something which helps them on their journey.
Steps 16-19 are where there is struggle, this can mean the hero comes into contact with the villan or something happens to the villan to slow him down in his journey.
Steps 20-26 is the return of the hero, in these steps the task is resolved.
The final steps 27-31 are recognition for the hero, at this point the hero gets the princess or rewarded.
Propp's theory of narrative fits in with our storyline, not in all aspects as our film is only 5 minutes and we can't fit all 31 actions in but we do have the 8 character roles.
1. Villan - Sam
2. Hero - The lucky penny
3. Donor - Dorothy
4. Helper - Dorothy
5. Princess - Sarah
6. Farther - The lucky penny
7. Dispatcher - Dianne
8. False hero - Sam

Vladimire Propp- theory of narrative
Vladimire Propp is a Russian theorist who studies fairy tales and stories to find what their basic plot components were. His theory includes 8 spheres of action; Hero, villain, donor, helper, princess, father, dispatcher, false hero. and 6 initial situations including 31 functions.
Many films follow these roles and functions but not all; for example 'Die Hard' follows both the character riles and the 31 functions:
Die Hard's 8 character roles
Hero- John Mclain
Villain- Hanz and the blond man
Donor- The villain with the radio
Helper- Police man on the radio and the driver of the limo
Princess- John's wife Holly
Father- Police
Dispatcher- christmas, He is going to see his wife and family for christmas
False Hero- Hanz when he is pretending to be a hostage, the journalist when he is trying to interview the family, and Ellis when he trying to get in the villains good side telling them where John is.
Functions
- Preparation
- Complication
- Transference
- Struggle
- Return
- Recognition

Possible Locations- Sam's House
Possible Location 1
(Rebecca Nightingale)
This is one possible location to use for Sam's House. To make the location realistic, we ideally needed a bedroom that would be typical of a teenage boy as well as a conventional staircase and front door to demonstrate a different house to Sarah's.
The chosen location provides an average looking house. We wanted a house simple and realistic that would be representative of our character Sam. The house provides ideal camera space to film Sarah visiting Sam's House and being invited in by Sam's sister. It will allow us to characterise Sam and use the location as a way to portray Sam to the audience, as a normal guy, before we reveal that he stole from Sarah.
For a brief segment of time we need Sarah to run in the stairs to Sam's bedroom. We wanted to keep this normality consistent, with a very simplistic staircase. The shot will be a medium long shot so the audience can watch Sarah head up the stairs. To achieve this we also want to use a tilt shot which will be possible in the space provided, making it an ideal location.
To make the revealing of Sam's secret more monumental we believe it would be best for the audience to follow Sarah into the bedroom. The shot used will be a close up of Sarah's hand knocking on the door and her entering the room. The location is suitable as there is ample room to shoot at this angle and still get the same effect.

This possible location can be seen as a boy's bedroom. Although it is not excessively evident, it still suggests that it is. Although it provides us with problems due to the size of the room, it will still allow us to shoot in medium and close up shots that are needed for this segment of our film. A long shot of Sam sat on the bed well convey the idea that he is hiding something effectively and is achievable in this location. It will also be possible for us to the tricky shot of the penny spinning in this location, as the room at the bottom of the bed is large enough to fit the camera in and shoot the penny in the air.
This is just one suggestion for a location for Sam's House. Although there are some problems that have being flagged up, this can be addressed and altered to make this choice of location better and therefore meet the criteria of our film.
Possible Location 2
Possible Locations- Street
Possible Location 1
I think this road would be suitable to film the street scene because there are lots of houses that would show Sarah is nearing the house she wants to go to. It is also good because it is quite long and so cut film a long way on cut off what we don't need. However the problem is that Sam's house wouldn't be on the same street, this would make it hard to match walking on the street to Sams house (that is another location) difficult, this would mean match on actions rule would be broken and would look confusing for the audience.

Possible Locations- Sarah's House
Possible Locations 1
(Jessica Venson)
This the first possible location for Sarah's house. I have used the script and tried to copy the shots we would need to use if this was the location we would pick.The bedroom is suitable because it is already for a teenage girl around the same age. We also have everything in it that we need; bed, desk, window, chair (can be added).
This is another part of the house we would need in Sarah's house for when she is running down the stairs to collect her post and read her grades. Also when her mum calls her to the phone. This is a suitable location because we can see her coming ut of her room (and so use match on action) and running down the stairs. Another positive is that the door with the letter box is at the bottom of the stairs and so wouldn't need to go far. However a negative of this is that it would be hard to shoot the appropriate shots as there isn't much room to walk past the camera to do match on action and we can't have running down the stairs and collecting the post in the same shot.
This is the location of where Sarah would open the door to find it has stopped raining. This would be good to use because we can clearly see the shoes she would be putting on. However the coat and dog lead would have to be on the floor or on the side as there is no where to hang them up. Another negative of using this shot is that where I took the photo is as far back as I could go and so may cut half of our character out by not having enough room.
Possible Locations 2
(Rebecca Nightingale)
This is another example of a location to use for Sarah's bedroom and staircase. The bedroom can be conveyed as a typical teenage girl's room. It is not overly girly but it does portray what an average girls room would be like. The room is fairly large, which will allow us enough room to shoot the long, establishing shots as well as close up shots of Sarah. There will be ample enough room for Sarah to walk about on shot.
We also need enough space to shoot Sarah sat at her desk. This location provides us with a small desk that Sarah can sit at. Although the area may be restricting and the desk is fairly small, it can still portray what we wish to display in the film.
Another location in the house we need is the staircase. This location provides us with a simple staircase that would be effective when Sarah collects her grades. There is enough room to shoot from the top, bottom and the side of the staircase to create a much more effective shot. In this location we will be able to shoot Sarah running down the stairs and collecting the post in a continuous flow, as well as have enough room for her to travel past the camera and collect the post.
We also need enough camera space to film Sarah collecting her post from the front door and when she takes the dog out for a walk. In this location it provides a realistic and achievable way of performing these tasks for the actress and still creates a believable plot.
This suggestion of a location has both positive and negatives. Whilst it is a very spacious location, it has limitations in the form of believability. The bedroom that could be used may not be obviously a female bedroom due to the lack of girly objects. However, if this location is chosen it can be rectified with inserting some more objects to make it girly.

(Annabelle Derham)
Possible Location- Dorothy's Hose
Dorothy's House
Possible locations 1
I think these would be a suitable location our Grandmothers house because we have a long pathway to the conservatory which would be a good establishing shot. We can also see through the windows of the conservatory to set the scene and who the characters are going to be.
Also we can use the natural light for effect. For example because there are lots of windows in the conservatory, we could film just before it starts getting dark starting off light, then between each take and scene we could wait a few minutes (15) and each shot would get more darker showing time is passing.
The only problem with this location would be that there may not be enough room to film at this angle, and so may have to film in the other direction.
