Character and Narrative Theory (My Own Film + The Notebook)

I have created a mindmap that compares character and narrative theory to my own film as well as a successful authentic film (The Notebook). This has allowed me to see which aspects of the theories are present in a real romance genre film and which ones are present in mine allowing me to see if I need to make any final minor changes to the storyline, characters etc. After comparing the two I am happy with my storyline and characters for the time being.

Problem

Recently I have received a phone call from the library I was planning on filming in informing me that it is no longer possible for me to film there due to them fearing it may disturb their customers because of this I have had to take time out to contact other possible locations and I am currently waiting to hear back from them.

Script Draft 2

I have changed quite a few scenes in my film due to not being 100% happy with them. I have removed what were scene 2 and scene 9 which were present in my first draft and changed the location of was scene 7 in my first draft. As well as this I have added in an extra scene at the end where Imogen receives a text from Mason. I am now happy with the context of my script and believe my next draft should be my final one.

Target A

To achieve my target my research, planning and evaluation must be detailed, effectively communicated and presented digitally, using a wide variety of formats. I need detailed
research into similar products and target audience and to show the process of planning by including excellent work on shotlists, drafts, storyboards, scripts, locations and props. I need to show full evidence of the research and planning informing the construction process.
My evaluation must reflect my excellent understanding of forms and conventions, an understanding of the use of new media throughout the stages of production, the way my ancillary and primary tasks combine effectively. There will be an excellent understanding of the significance of audience feedback.
My production work, across the formats, will demonstrates excellent creativity and imagination as I seek to make them as convincing as possible and it will also reflect my mastery
in technical skills such as controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes, close attention to mise-en-scène, appropriate transitions and use of sound.
