Hero CP 5
Dialogue
Conversation Dolly
Conversation Dolly
- The evil villain is filmed when he approaches the student that is sitting on the ground.
- From a high and low angle, our film will have the conversation dolly swishing back and forth.
- The evil villain and the student will be filmed until the problem is introduced and carried on.
Suspense, Searching, and Creeping
Steps to Suspense
- I will film the character suspense build from when the student is faced with the challenge of cheating to until the hero appears.
- Then, when the two superheros are about to fight, I will make the motions slower and more emphasized.
- I will pan the two characters build up constantly and I will most likely use a tripod to film this mastershot.

One student has been chosen as Mucky Marcus' victim. Marcus plans to make his life reek of dark things. The student is in utter depression because of Marcus' super powers. Courageous Charity doesn't know what's going on yet. He's just going around school spreading happiness. One day, Courageous Charity notices that student walking through the halls giving off a dark force. As he walks over to help that poor student, Marcus jumps out and stops him! Charity tries to fight off Marcus by using his minor superpowers. Obviously, Marcus overpowers him because he's feeding off the dark energy of that poor student. But since it's the day, Charity is able to get energy from the sun and defeat Marcus! He restores the student to happiness and all is solved.
I will ask someone else if they could be the student, but if not, I will do it. I think Charity will be great as a superhero and Marcus as the villain!
Master Shots A
DIRECTION SHIFT
This shot can be used for an exit or an entrance. Two main characters are walking along a road. The direction shift tracks the characters' shift towards a different direction. When the characters are walking by, you film them from the side, tracking their action. Then when they are about to turn, you switch to a head on shot so the turn is noticeable. The transition can be used to introduce a new scene. There may be dialogue in the scene but if you don't have a mic, you should keep the dialogue short.

Title of Film: What Makes You Beautiful
Lyrics:
You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
That's what makes you beautiful
So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I don't why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look in your eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
that's what makes you beautiful
that's what makes you beautiful
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
that's what makes you beautiful
that's what makes you beautiful
that's what makes you beautiful
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
You don't know you're beautiful
And that's what makes you beautiful

Story Elements Checkpoint
Character
- Character Arc: Girl 1- Insecure girl who spends time alone a lot but has actually a lot of good traits about her that make her beautiful. She's a happy introvert, but thinks negatively. Girl 2- A girl in a relationship but is really self-conscious about her imperfections. The truth is that her boyfriend really loves her a lot but can never express it fully. She's the popular girl who thinks she has too many flaws and that she needs to cover it by pointing out others' flaws. Guy 1- Girl 1's best friend but also has feelings for her. He confesses to her at the end of the story, but makes each step something happy and warm for her. Guy 2- A guy who loves his girlfriend dearly but doesn't know what the right thing to say is. It's difficult for him to transfer the message but in the end, his pure love is shown.
- Peeling the Onion: Both girls feel unloved and not needed. Each move that the guy characters make tell the girl something and peels off a layer of their cold hearts. At the end, the guys hold off a final big move to show the girls that they really care.
- Universal Empathy (use two out of the five ways to show empathy for your main character:) Girl 1 has a lot of insecurities and this can be shown through the way that she is always home and alone. She doesn't like to interact much but when the guy comes around, she reveals herself to him. Girl 2 has too much personality and not too much care. She is in some way really ignorant about others and is attentive to her needs only and that's why she feels so pressured to be "perfect."
- Protagonist: (round or flat, dynamic or static): Both characters will be round. The viewers will know every truth while the characters won't know about each others' feelings.
- Antagonist: (round or flat, dynamic or static): There won't be a specific character that the main characters have to be against. The problem will be against themselves, to overcome what they fear the most.
- Minor character: (round or flat, dynamic or static): The guys will be round and they will always be the fall back and go to guy.
- Tension: Main characters will be involved. The internal problems that each character faces will be an obstacle that each of the major and minor characters must overcome.
- Character Lock: As the twist unfolds, they will all become more positive and happier. To find that they are truly beautiful and they have someone to love that loves them.
- Forced Action: The guy characters are faced to give in to their love because they couldn't hold it anymore. It was that time when they were holding on too long.
- High & Low Stakes : The guy characters had a chance of being rejected and the girls could've gone a longer while just being insecure and never being themselves like they wanted to.
- What information will you plant throughout the film that the viewer will have to figure out by the end? You are beautiful just the way you are. Don't be conformed by the things that the media tells you. Every person is special and someone loves you.
- What will be the film's throughline? There are things that make you different and beautiful from others.
- Explain the catalyst of your film? The guy characters are challenged by themselves to make a difference in their own lives while the girls are almost about to cave into depression and stress.
- What will be the biggest conflict? Internal conflicts and not being able to express one's feelings will be the main conflict.
