Last lesson we finished our editing and everything completed. Today Lochlan and Billy done some opening titles and credits for the end of the video.

Initial Ideas 
The idea we had was, a young man named Simon who had severe depression attended a party where everyone was having fun while he was in the corner of the room alone. he had an appointment with his doctor, Dr.Julie, and he gave Simon a letter from his wife. Simon then finds out his wife is leaving him by moving to Paris, she is the only real source of his happiness so he becomes more depressed and it ends with him huddled into a ball.

Location Recce Ideas/Photos

The first photo is the room we are going to hold the doctor appointment with Dr.Julie and Simon. We will need to move the tables into a one table two chairs as there is too much distractions in the shot for the audience to concentrate on.
this is also the room we used for the end scene where Simon breaks down at the end.

This room is the room we are going to hold the other scenes. The party scene at the beginning and the scene where he opens the letter from his wife. i thought this room would have been great because its a dark enclosed room and it perfectly fits with Simon's state of mind.





Props and Costume List
In our 90 short we didn't really use costumes as we thought that having casual clothes would make the actors more relaxed and makes it easier for them to perform.
but the clothes we did use had some connotations.

We did have a prop, our only prop we had we the letter from Susan to Simon. we used this as a voice over as Susan is speaking whats written on the letter.

Storyboards
These are the storyboards, the writing and pictures that make out ideas come to life. We put our ideas together and filled out the sections we were designated to. I was put on the job for drawing the pictures and making the shot look good. Lochlans job was to locate what shot is what and to put down the times and details of where the location of the shots will be taken place. Billys job was to write the sound and what type of shots we were going to take.

All our input makes our story board and that story board helped us make our 90 second short film for Depict!
