Planning Initial Ideas - Continuity Task

Tonight, I have spent most of my time: sitting, thinking, sitting, thinking a bit more, and sitting. I was mainly thinking about my storyline for the media video, but hay-ho!

Alongside sitting and thinking, I went to my Aunty's to get my hair cut and whilst I was there I put forward the media task that we have been asked to do to address our knowledge on continuity. My Uncle owns his own scuba diving business, and he suggested that maybe I could do something using either the sea or the pool that he uses to teach people in. My Uncle also owns a underwater camera, so this would be perfect. After he suggested this, I was unsure where the dialogue would fit in, however when I mentioned this to him, he suggested that we could use his underwater notepad and wax crayons to actually write out the dialogue underwater, instead of actually speaking it, which I thought was pretty awesome! Anyway, after he mentioned this, he came out with a much more exciting idea of using the Marine College's pool in the South Tyneside area and in the college there is a pool that turns into a fake storm scene and I was thinking up a storyline to base it around a storm underwater and I came up with a storyline of having someone go missing and the storyline could be people searching for them.

After cooking up numerous ideas, I came across problems. I thought about the lighting and how during a storm it would be rather dark and dingy, so the lighting could be a problem. Also, because South Tyneside is quite a journey, although I could get there, it would be very time consuming.

As more and more ideas began to flow, I moved away from the idea of basing my location around water and more around woodland/country settings. 

I have actually come up a finalised idea, and I have managed to research into it and request permission and I shall now enlighten you with my idea in my next blog entry! 

Hope you enjoy :))
