On the second day of the project, we began to refine and develop our original ideas even more to the point where we could begin constructing a storyboard highlighting what we were going to film and how it will pan out in terms of the scene and the setting. This process I found took much deliberation and was a time consuming process due to the wealth of ideas and suggestions we all had to put forward.
After some research online on basic film making and themes related to 'juxtaposition' we decided to carry a split screen theme throughout the film which separated the two sides of the story. The three key themes are going to be young/old men/women and courage/fear. These obviously are a contrast and we felt the split screen could clearly convey this message. We also decided that in between scenes we would have quick flashes of the word 'juxtaposition' to subtly remind the audience of the subject matter.
To realise this, we decided to use Ravensbourne as a setting for our sketches in particular the elevator. The story will begin with the young and old comparison in an elevator where the more mature person wears their trousers high up and the young person wears their trousers well below their waste to symbolise the physical and literal generation gap. From the elevator, a man and a women will have a conversation where they don't say necessarily what they think or what they mean using speech bubbles. Then in the final scene a courageous mouse will chase and scare a fearful lion into the end credits and definition of the word juxtaposition. This is a vague idea of how the filming will take place.
