Met with my group yesterday and pitched the idea for our silent/possibly music film. Brainstormed a bit about it and set up each person's responsibilities and schedules.




Since the locations are TBD, I used the following terms to mean various things we discussed:

Alleyway = any suitable dark urban setting
Meeting Place = where the Angels are gathered
Place #2 = surreal setting that takes place of Meeting Place
Angels 2 = the second character modification of the Angels
Angels 3 = third
Gwen 2 = Second Gwen mod

Some things I'm not sure if we can do, but I tried to think of logical things that are possible. If they're not doable, no worries, I think we still have plenty of options. This is really just an overview of what I imagine- I trust you guys to change anything that doesn't work for any reason.

Shot 1: Above wide shot of alley way/dark urban setting/
Shot 2: Gwen enters shot from left.
Shot 3: Medium shot following Gwen from the torso up, arms crossed.
Shot 4: Far shot from end of alleyway, Gwen looking around her, unsettled.
Shot 5: Over-shoulder shot as Meeting Place comes into view. Angels are visible and chatting with each other, holding goblets.
Shot 6: Closer shot of both Angels. They turn at the same time to see Gwen.
Shot 7: Medium shot of Gwen, who has stopped walking. Shoulders up.
Shot 8: Close-up of Angel Dude's face, pan over to Angel Guy's face.
Shot 9: Close-up of Gwen's eyes.
Shot 10: Full shot of both Angels as they extend an arm out to welcome her.
Shot 11: Close-up of Gwen's face with green glow, pull back to reveal that she's holding a goblet too.
Shot 12: Downward shot over Gwen's shoulder to show the swirling contents of the goblet.
Shot 13: Over-shoulder shot of Gwen slowly walking up to the Angels, and taking a drink.
Shot 14: Shot from waists up of the Angels framing Gwen on both sides. She steps in past them, and they turn their backs to the camera, blocking her from view.
Shot 15: Waist-up shot of Gwen, turning to face the Angels, who have now changed to Angels 2.
Shot 16: Shoulder-up shot of Gwen taking another drink, camera pulling back.
Shot 17: Mouse-view, looking down at goblet, and then back up at Angels, background having changed to Place #2.
Shot 18: Full shot- Angels 2 on left, Gwen backing away slowly to right.
Shot 19: Tight shot of Angels 2 advancing on her.
Shot 20: Tight shot of Angels 3. Quick cut to this. Perhaps a flash back and forth before it stays their form.
Shot 21: Wide shot of Angels 3 over Gwen, who is now on the floor with her legs out in front of her. Show full scope of wings.
Shot 22: Insert sequence. Please do anything weird, trippy, overwhelming and jarring. I imagine lots of quick shots of all forms of the Angels, playing with environment controls, etc. Sequence should be scary, intimidating, and weird. Play with filmed shots and editing as much as you like.
Shot 23: Shot from mid-back up, Angels 3 framing sides. Gwen 2 stands up between them in slow-mo.
Shot 24: Zoom in to Gwen 2's face. Hold shot for a moment.
Shot 25: Waist up shot of Gwen, pulling back to show her whole body and wings as she flies upward above Angels 3's heads.
Shot 26: Shot from behind Gwen, full scope of wings, showing Angels 3 on the ground looking up at her.
Shot 27: Shot of Gwen's mouth and shoulders. Pan down to her torso, as she claps once in slo-mo..
Shot 28: Wide shot of the scene. Edit in bright light from Gwen, which flashes out and turns the screen white, if possible. If not, fade the scene to white quickly- like a camera flash or white explosion.
Shot 29: Shot of both Angels 3s laying on ground, their goblets beside them.
Shot 30: Pull back past Gwen, looking over them, to show her back.
Shot 31: Same shot as above, but Gwen turns, walking off camera.
Shot 32: Wide shot of Gwen walking away into her new environment.




Discussing some awesome technical problems I was having.



Meet adjourned!





Gwen. Aptly named after Gwen Stacey, because her hair is stupid like hers. And we don't ever have to hear that reference out loud in this film.



Angel Dude 2 and Angel Guy 2. Best character names ever.



What a delicious and unsuspecting-looking drink!



Angel Guy 3 knows how to party.



Gwen 2's evil angel gear includes pretty tattoos.
