Meeting with MIke and Story changes!!

Whilst everyone has been working on the production of this film, in the back of all of our minds we have always been thinking about the shots. There have recently been some signifacant changes to some of the shots which we hope will make the story work better.

We have just had a meeting with mike hursh who has done alot of explaining about the flow of the story and how things should be introduced. He was telling us that there is no point in haveing a cirtian sequence in the film if it wasnt nessercy to tell the story.
With this new knoldge in hand samir made the suggestion to cut out the robbery sceen altogether. At first i wasnt too sure because it was a funny sequence. But now thinking of it, it was the right thing to do considering time restraints.

After i decided that it would be best to wright down every shot that we would have to work on so we could scale better the amont of time we had.

This is the plan out:

Scene 1:
Shot 1- Camera follows the truck across the screen following left.
Shot 2- The truck comes into screen left and stops. Farmer walks over to the barn.
Shot 2b - The farmer comes to the door and tries to open it.

Scene 2:
Shot 3- Cut to inside barn beside the main chickens coop. Farmer kicks open door and chicken pops his head out and looks around rapidly.
Shot 4 – Cut to chickens P.O.V. shot looking around (snappy)

Scene 3:
Shot 5 – Cuts back to main chicken as he steps back with a scared expression on his face
Shot 6 – He goes over to the hole and begins stretching
Shot 7 – He then begins straining to lay an egg

Scene 5:
Shot 8 - Camera then cuts to inside the down tube/pipe, of the chicken coop. The chicken looks down into it to see if he had produced anything.
Shot 9 – The camera then cuts back to him looking worried. (Possibly the farmer walks passed hic coop)

Scene 6:
Shot 10 – Camera cuts back to the chicken as he gets ready.
Many shots - He then begins lots of different methods to get produce an egg e.g. laxative, broom, hover etc

Scene 7:
Shot 11 – Cuts to chicken as he does one final almighty strain. He then turns into a cockerel.
