POST 1

For our first film in media studies we had to use either a nursery rhyme or questions with no answers, to be a plot/narrative of our film. It also had to last for 2 minutes, so when making our storyboard we had to consider the timing of each frame.
Initial ideas: We chose to not use a nursery rhyme, so our initial questions were - If you punched yourself and it hurt, are you strong or are you weak? Are the stripes on a zebra black or white? How are new superstitions created? Why do parents say 'Don't pull ugly faces in the wind or they'll be stuck that way'? If you get out of the shower clean, then how does your towel get dirty? Is the sand called the sand because it is in between sea and land?

Our top 2: the ugly faces in the wind and superstitions.

The initial plot for our first question had been to use a young boy being scolded by his mother, and would eventually grow up with the ugly faces that he made in the wind as a boy. However because of our timing we decided to choose the second question (superstitions) as the first question would be too short.
Our initial idea for the style would be entertainment as it couldn't be education as our questions would be left unanswered. Our initial plot also had been comical.
