ACTUAL Idea - Continuity Task

After focusing on the idea of having a storyline of a missing person, I began to think about using a more isolated location, fitting in better with the actual storyline.

My boyfriend, Luke Brocklesby, used to work at a paint balling site called Battle Stations Paintball in Wynyard. I used to go to work with him every Saturday and I got to know the area extremely well, getting behind the scenes and being aloud to enter secret buildings/storage areas that were shut off to the public which was interesting!

After Luke stopped working at Paint balling, he still kept in touch with the owner, Andy. As soon as I thought of using a woodland/country location, I immediately got in touch with Andy and I asked whether it would be possible to use Battle Stations Paintball and he has no objections, which was great news - he saw it as free advertising!

Before I asked permission from Andy, I planned out the storyline and basic narrative because I was really getting into the swing of planning my ideas! Now the moment you've all been waiting for...dun, dun, DUUUN.

So...

At the start of the clip, I am going to have a typical police investigation setting in a office type area, with a white board marking out the situation of the missing person. There will be two people in that room, the head of the investigation (if you like, chief inspector kind of thing) and then the person who will actually be doing the searching of the missing person. 

After the searcher has been debriefed on the current situation, they will be shown walking through an isolated woodland area, dodging trees, trying to find the missing individual. I will then switch to another part of the location where the searcher comes across a building. As he enters (Opens a door - action match) the building, he begins to search amongst the rubble and unwanted belongings and much to his surprise, he finds the missing person tied to a chair. At this point, this is when the two exchange dialogue (shot/reverse shot) as the person is sat on the chair and the searcher is either stood up or crouching infront of the missing person. The searcher rings the chief to come to the location and recue the person and this is where the sequence ends.

The 180 degree rule will either be covered when the searcher is walking through the woodland area, or when they are searching the building that they enter.

I am not sure on my actors/actresses yet, which I am going to plan in tomorrow's lesson, however I hope you like the idea that I have come up with! 

Let me know what you think :))
