Ideas refinied

Add:

Test: 

  • Better designs than the enemy
  • Meets people - goddess/ enemy 
  • Crying scene - picks herself up
  • Board not happy - works on her project, gets it done on the deadline 
  • They're happy again and the trailer ends.




Allies:
  • Members on the board
  • Goddess
  • Flashback to the CEO


Ordinary world
Ordinary worker in the company - good at what she does but isn't very high up.

Call to adventure
CEO dies – the board decides that she is the best suited as they believe she will be able to direct the company in the right way.

Refusal of the call
Doubts herself, isn’t sure if she can do it - allies and goddess support her in this area. 

Allies will be shown with emails, text etc and the goddess will be shown expressing how he feels that she is capable of this task. 

Meeting the mentor
The board is the mentor, the recently deceased CEO had always said that she had great vision for the company and they believe she can do it. 
Threshold
Directing the company in the right way and this helps her overcome her fear of the CEO job and decides that she can do it. 
Enemies
Villain - lady who is higher up in the company who is should be getting the job is angry that someone who is lower than her is being considered. The villain tries to make it obvious that she is the best pick but she is unable to do so and ends up embarrassing herself. They both have different ideas for the company and the board believes that the hero will be able to save the company as it is going downhill after the death of the CEO.

Goddess
Slow motion - guy
Gives guidance or encourages the hero to continue and that they can do the job. 
Different shots of the goddess throughout the trailer.

Reward


Gets the job.






Other elements:


  • Threshold 
  • Mentor
  • Hero 
  • Antagonist - villain

Characters

CEO - Portia
Hero - Nicole
Villian - Holly
Guy - Kartya

Ideas

So far my ideas are that a CEO of a large magazine or some sort of company suddenly dies. A girl who has been the deputy CEO (ordinary world) is urged to apply for the job of the main CEO of the company by someone on the board (Call to adventure/ Threshold). The girl doubts herself and isn't sure if she can succeed being the main CEO of an entire company and is reluctant to applying but then she finds either a book/video from the recently deceased CEO stating what is required or needed of a CEO (mentor?) and this allows her to gain the courage and confidence to apply for the job. She meets a guy who is a applying for a job at the company (Goddess). A lady who she has always had issues with tries to trip her up as she has also applied for this job and she also tries to steal the guy or make the main girl jealous (Enemy). In the end the girl gets the guy and the job (Reward). 

Ideas


Ordinary world
Deputy CEO of a large magazine company.

Call to adventure
CEO dies – leaves something e.g. book/ video saying what she needs to do – how to get to the position she needs to be in and how to succeed.

Refusal of the call
Doubts herself, isn’t sure if she can do it

Meeting the mentor
Something – book/video

Threshold
Gets the job

Enemies
Villian – lady – due date or completing project/ steals guy/ hero falls behind in work

Goddess
Slow motion - guy

Reward


Gets the guy & job – fires lady.

Location/Lighting

Today we discussed lighting and how different forms of reflectors can impact the lighting. This will help with our assignment as majority of the reflectors are low cost and easy accessible. We also went around the school and found locations where we can shoot, this was helpful as we found new areas in the new building which we haven't used before. I am still unaware of exactly what I want to do for my hero's journey trailer but I will be working this out soon so I can finish the treatment and get my design suite together for next week's draft and begin filming ASAP!
