Why a Mood Board?

The mood board allowed me to put a lot of the thoughts going around in my head about my coursework idea into something visually representative.
This acted both to begin the structure of the eventual product as well making me more confident in my idea; having all the images in front of me made it feel more substantial.
It was especially useful for the shots I will be doing at the first stages of filming my coursework. As I will be filming all around Notting Hill Gate, researching images for the area presented places online I had forgot about that I will definitely now include in the fast motion sequence.
The films posters all represent films that contain themes similar to the ones I will include in my coursework; such as a sense of time or memory loss. This will allow me to have further points of reference for inspiration and idea.

The Treatment


Fast motion shots speeding through the streets of Notting Hill, London.
Narrative voice talking over fast motion shots about how everyone has those childhood memories.
Narrative will mention those memories including food, people and general places.
Narrative will then state that 'Chris' doesn't, he can only hold twenty four hours of memory at a time.
This will include the opening shot to the next series of shots, which is a birds eye view looking down on chris waking up in bed. The second series of shots will show a daily routine in Chris's day, where he is helped by a Nurse. The Narrative will continue, eventually putting a message across to be grateful for memories you have, good or bad.
Film ends with the same shot of chris shown waking up in bed to start another day.

Don LaFontaine (The voice of Radio)

MENTION HOW YOU ENDED UP RESEARCHING HIM
USE OF DEEP VOICE IN RADIO TRAILER

Don LaFontaine is man who is famous for his voice. He has done countless amounts of work on film trailers and is famous for his authentic and deep voice. Interestingly enough he has created a convention in itself with the use of his voice.
Stereotypically radio film trailers now use the deep voice effect that Don LaFontaine created.
