Idea

A rough summary of our opening so far... 

Our story begins in a garage filled with space posters, stargazing equipment and nerdy memrobillia ect it is the den of a teenage boy named Elliot the main character of the film. Elliot dedicates every spare moment to his love of aliens and all things space, dominating a large portion of the wall is a map where he is tracking supposed alien sightings in his local area. These sightings are the crux of the film and all of the weird and wonderful things that happen to Elliot  and his best friend milo happen whilst in pursuit of them. Along the way they meet a girl named Suzie who plays Elliot's love interest. At the end of our opening it is Milo that texts elliot to alert him of a new siting, Elliot rushes out and the action starts...

If we were to make this whole film it would be a feel good/coming of age romantic comedy much like paper towns or Angus thongs and perfect snogging.  In order to capture the light hearted nature of these type of films me and Katie have to think about costume, mise en scene, sound, editing ect. Additionally we need to think of ways we can add humour and convey the feeling the rest of the film would have. 

The quirky 'Home made' vibe is something we also want to incorporate we are thinking doing this by having the titles within the film. For example we could make our own titles and spread them through the set then feature them that way rather than super imposed over the top later.
