Improvements for draft 3:
·
Show
some people in the swiping process but keep it short
·
Allow
people to read ‘it’s a match’
·
To
allow for easier texting, have them texting while walking – texting in draft 2
is too fast
·
More shots for meet up
·
Use tripod for the hug/ rejection
·
Performance
to start when story starts – Loop not too long.
·
The
first selfie will be taken at the end of coffee – This will then cut to the cork
board, as they will pin up said selfie
·
Don’t try to make dining room look like a restaurant – Instead make it
into a home cooked meal. Buy £10 meal for 2 from tesco
·
Use shallow focus in base track
·
Be
happier in the base track
·
Need to shoot white screen base track from multiple angles
·
Use a cork board and plain calendar to set mood for ancillaries
-
These could be printed in black and white so we’re able to match with
the digipak and poster.
-
Doodles and sketches need to be put up on the board, similar to that
of the first draft.
·
End
video with Netflix
·
Digipak
in black & white and colour?
·
We
could also use home video as an element, so they can take the selfies while
