Inspiration
The main inspiration of the idea of the film came from Submarine and 500 Days of summer. I saw Submarine and had an understanding of what the characters are going to be like. Watching the film also helped me think of the shots we could use and how we could film certain scenes. Similar styles like this (fig 1) where the character breaks the fourth wall, would be great at the start of the film to help establish the character and draw in the viewer.

Looking at the characters with in Submarine, I saw the kind of shots they were using in different moments. Below are some of the shots I like and might use them during filming.

I wasn't able to watch 500 Days of Summer but I was able to get the concept of boy meets girl from the trailer. I also saw some of the shots they used and some of them looked similar to submarine.
Colour Scheme
The colour scheme from Submarine was a bit dark contrasting colours except from Jordana's red coat. From reading the script, The park scene made me think of Amelie and how the colours in that film created mood. In our film, I will try to use warm and cool colours (orange, green, red, pink, blue, peach).

Equipment
The camera I'm going to be using will be a canon 600D. I've never used this camera before and looked for tutorials on how to use it online. I have a canon 1100D but I think the settings might be slightly different. The links below showed me specks of the camera and the additional specks which it has that cannot be found in the 1100D.
Pete Spence gave me a link to a YouTube which gives you tips of what to consider when filming a dialogue scene. These included:
- Rule of thirds
- Using different lenses and how it affects the footage
- Blocking your characters
- Lighting
- Editing
- Angles
Story Board
Below are the storyboards I drew to help me during the filming. They are not 100% accurate but the give me the idea of what to film in each scene.
