*Rough Discussion Dialogue*

E: Did you see the Hunter video?

J: No

C: No

*Shows video*

J: I really like the video, we could do something like those shadows and silhouettes, if we film using green-screen and invert it to black.

E: I don't get what frame size?

J: We should try green screen today

C: I can start the treatment file today

J: I like also what Ian was showing me.
E: Ties in with what we were saying earlier on in the project, (in relation to ghost like figures)

J: We can animate a bird traditionally and duplicate to make a whole flock.

E: If we are going to experiment today what are we going to do?

J: We should green screen a walk-cycle and put it in an enviroment.

E: Can we also look at shooting projected shadows?

J: Lets definitely experiment

C: Todays our last day free to experiment

E: Lets try to use all the things we have. We need to talk about the treatment file.

J: Do we have images for it?

I: Yes we should give them all to Clodagh

E: Style?

J: Shadow Shilloeuttes, altered by elongating in AE? or we can animate them using paper cut outs.

I: Paper joint puppets?

C: How about drawing mannequins

I: I used one is first year during the group project, I don't recommend it

E: Are they definitely going to be elongated?

J: Slenderman like.

E: We going to do it live action?

J: We should try it out.

I: We will give all images to Clodagh for the treatment file.

E: Dave said don't give a lot but give quality.

I: Ah grand so give the best.

E: What's our concept?

*We then talked about our concept in buzzwords*

 Remembering past, nostalgic, memories, sentimental. People are shadow memories of what they once were. We want to portray the people as the spirit of the village but they are only a memory of what once was. So we will portray them as shadow silhouetted figures.

E: Instead of using green screen would we be better off just trying to shoot shadows and on white projected from behind and then keying out the white?

I: It's be much the same as we will still be keying out, and it would be more difficult to key out the shadow and to cast the shadow to the right size.

J: Right we get to it so.
