Frederick: Hello Mr Brown, good afternoon.

Father: Good afternoon.

Frederick: But where is Mrs Brown today?

Father: Oh, she has stepped out to prepare your lunch.

Frederick: That’s fantastic, but Mister Brown I believe Caroline doesn’t know who I am. Is that….. true?

Father: Doesn’t she.

Daughter: Yes father, who is this young lad? I am unaware of him.

Father: His father and I have been companions since childhood. I have seen this boy grow into a handsome young man and I believe that he is more than capable for your hand in marriage. I would like this friendship to become a lawful relationship and you must accept this man as your husband. Is that understood?

Daughter: Yes father, but I have something to say. My heart belongs to another, I cannot marry him as my heart does not belong to him.

Father: Caroline you have brought shame upon this family. You must not oppose to my decision and do as I command.

Daughter: Yes father. I shall not live to see my marriage.

Frederick: I love you Caroline, how could you?

Daughter: I’m sorry Frederick, I don’t love you.

Father: Caroline, Caroline.

Frederick: Caroline, no wait. Mr Brown, I did not know she was in love.

Father: Caroline, come back here this instance.

Frederick: Why didn’t you tell me?

Father: I, I was unaw..

Frederick: You weren’t aware? How could you not be aware? As a father it is your responsibility to know.

Mother: Caroline. No, my daughter us dead and it is this man’s fault.

Frederick: Caroline is dead, but what about my food? Caroline how could you..?

Synopsis.

Khawab was in charge for making the synopsis. So here it is:

Families and society in our 21 st Century have evolved to such an extent that we need to stop and think whether these advancements are really beneficial ? This movie commences with the protagonist Caroline having lunch with her family. The first half of the film concentrates on revealing how men back then imposed their ignorant decisions upon females who often did not have the right to go against the will of the man but instead had to accept the horrific path leading to freedom. This part of the movie reflects the extreme dangers of opposing restriction upon children. However this is juxtaposed to the second half of the film which forces the audience to realise how too much freedom in our society leads to the extremity of suffering. In this second half the protagonist Carol shorter for Caroline is a girl who is given too much freedom, far beyond capacity. This part of the film is in complete contrast as it portrays how society has changed in which the father is occupied in work, the mother in managing the home and teenagers in partying hard. The purpose of this film is to challenge the audience ranging from adults to children and make them realise the differences between the values in families now as opposed to then. Not only that but the purpose is also to communicate the dangers of freedom and restriction and how the way of essential living is to find that perfect balance.

THE STORYBOARD

I have tried to upload my powerpoint to my blog, but it is failing. i will have to transfer it onto Mr Cavill's computer.

Uploading my powerpoint storyboard.

Today i tried uploading my storyboard to SlideShare.net but its fonts and images got disturbed so i now need to try upload it on blogger :/

 and its meant to be...

final toches on EVERYTHING :D

Today I had finished the storyboard but Khawab showed us the final copy of the video on Windows Movie Maker and we found that the timimng was a bit ruined so we fixed it then i saved it as a wmv. file. We then watched the final movie and checked it was done. After watching this, i realised i missed something in the storyboard, so i added that and now it is done :)

A day without arusha...

During today's lesson, I worked with Srishti to finish the final copy of the script. this was completed about halfway through the lesson so then Srishti  and i worked to finish off the story board. Arusha wasn't here today, as she left this morning to go on holidays, so Khawab was putting finishing touches on the video and fixing up the sound effects.

Continuing on our work

Once again, today Srishti continued finalising the scripts and I continued the storyboard. After loonking at the marking criteria, i realised that the storyoard is actually meant to be quite detailed so i spent more time on the little details today. Still, Arusha and Khawab coontinued editting and showed me and Srishti before deciding something eg. a sound effect. Also, we thought that the building at the back fof the old segment looked bad, so we asked sir if there was a possible way to rid that. When we told him he said that there was a setting that we were meant to put on the camera before filming it, called blue screen (i think) in order to be able to remove parts of the background. But since we didn't, we could change that.
