So i was taking a shower today and i started thinking about my film.
Characters
I was originally going to have ONE main character who entered in and out of, and affected other peoples space. However, i now have chosen to use a number of different characters (4+) and their own spaces. The character changes as each scene changes.
For example, the film will start off with at one location, (say a park bench) where the first character will be. He/she will then go into his/her own space and dance/run/sing whilst in their space. The character will then proceed to walk (while still in their space), until the background scene reappears and they're at a different location (a bus stop), where there is a second character.
This character then looks at the first character and goes into their own space, where they shout/laugh/scream/cry, they then walk along whilst in their space, until the background reappears and they're in a different location (a lift), where there is a third character. This character then looks at the second character and goes into their own space....etc.
Scene/Location Changing
I was also thinking about how the characters could moved from 'scene to scene' in the easiest way possible.
I came up with the idea of tracking the characters in the green studio, using the panning tracks. If i filmed a character walking and pan with them, i can make that character look as though they are walking but their position on the screen stays the same. So they'll be in their personal space and walking 'on the spot' as it were, but then when the scene reappears it's a different location.
Another idea would be to have the character just pace back and forth across the screen to show that they are traveling somewhere. Maybe even pace along the bottom of the screen and appear along the top of the screen.
The other option is to make the character walk out of the frame completely and reappear at the other side of the screen in a different location.
Yea, it was a pretty long shower!
