Rough Cut

This here is our rough cut, however it is not completed and more improvements need to be made. Melissa and Jacob took Callum up to London to film the second half of our opening. As you can see there is no music and bits missing still, we are still looking into what non diegetic score we could use to create the intense effect that we need. Not only this but when going to put the title 'Mad Teacher' in at the end, we decided we didn't like as much so we are still in progress with that, I'm sure once we have the completed opening it will come to us. Melissa and I spent time doing the editing and there were many shots that have already been cut out/cut down. I'm still not 100% on the transitions but I think once all the clips are put in and edited that will sort itself out.
Although it's finished, I think that already it is so much better than our original idea and it is more creative, but if you don't try different things you wont know whats good and whats bad, therefore I think it was good that our group spent time and reevaluated our idea's to create a new storyboard in order to get the best out of this as possible. Like I said it still needs to be improved and there is more clips that still need to be added but overall I think we are on the right track in achieving the best that we are capable of.

New Storyboard

Our opening so far was shown to the class to be peer assessed, it was clear that we needed to make a lot of changes as some of the lighting was bad, we chopped Callum's head off in one of the shots and we needed to change one of the pans. After that we got together as a group and talked about what we could do in order to improve it.

After Melissa and I started to edit through our shorts we found that it wasn't long enough and that some of the shots weren't as good as we would have liked. From this we got together as a group and decided what we could do to improve this, we decided that on the 5th of February some of us are going to take some shots in London outside the Houses Of Parliment. The teacher (Callum Carroll) is going to be following the Prime Minister's movements around London. Also we will have to introduce a new character (his wife) however we have not decided whether to see her or just hear her talking. For all she knows her husband is going to work as normal.

We will shoot;

• Callum on the train looking impatient/agitated 
• Callum amongst a crowd just walking
• Establishing shot of Callum smirking and gritting his teeth with the The Houses Of Parliment behind him
• Iconic buildings of London 

By including Callum on the train surrounded by ordinary people it highlights the contrast of how 'normal' he looks but how mentally unstable he is being portrayed to the viewers.

Not only do we have to shoot these shots but we will also have to go back to Jacobs house to re film some of the shots we had done previously and film the added shots we have talked about above.

This is our new and improved storyboard.

Re filming

• The panning of the bottles needs to be shot needs to be smoother
• We chopped of Callum's head in one of the shots
• Some shots have to be held for longer to create the avid effect we want.

Hopefully after re shooting and filming the extra scenes our opening will be a lot better and fit in better with the time scale (2mins). Not only this but adding the new scenes, it will make our opening more political. 

Developed Idea

This is our developed idea which have cut down but made more itense making sure the audience will be at the edge of their seats.

• Tv interview between interviewer and Prime Minister saying why he is going to visit the Chalfonts Community College to talk to the students.
• Over the shoulder shot of the assignator turning the television screen off
• Zoom out of the television screen, come to a close up of assignator face (intese, angry) dressed in suit, tie,shirt (sharply dressed)
• Walks down the corridor all you can hear is the shoes walking down.
• Stops 'Welcome Prime Minister, Mr David Cameron (sound round of applause)
• Assinator opens door, then oes to black screen and the title appears

Props
In the room with television the wall behind will be covered in newspaper cuttings of David Cameron and everything that has happened since he has become Prime Minister, there will be red circles around key information.

We will need to school hall full of students to create the idea of a speech

A room with a television and maybe a few key items

An actor who has a stern, rugged faced villian

Whilst creating this opening things will bound to be changed and improved to create the best opening as we possibly can, but this is what we have got so far and we hope to make it an intense 2 minuite opening. Although it is similar to the first idea we posted it has been improved and changed a bit
