CHANGES...

At this point we have decided to keep the 19th century era, but make it so it flashes back to this time period from the 21st century as the character looks back over their ancestors' life (perhaps a great or great great grandmother). We feel this will work better, as it will no longer be just a period drama, and will make our idea more original. An issue which was made evident to us was that there are no other period drama films which are not based on a novel, so this would mean that our idea would not be successful as a film. We have also decided to change the title from "Ménage à trois", as we realised that this did not translate to 'love triangle' as we initially thought. We will therefore carry out further research into a new titles we come up with to see which one people think suits our genre of film.

In the meantime as locations manager I am still looking into locations we can use, and once we have spoken as a group I will email/phone the appropriate people to enquire about whether we can film in those buildings or not. I have also been the photographer for the Aske Hall Recce shots, and I will take more photos when we start to film. Emily is in the process of organising costumes, and Lucinda is going to direct once we begin to film, as well as being in charge of the soundtrack. Even though we have changed our idea at this point I do not think that it is going to be a major problem, as we can go back over things such as the storyboard and alter them to fit in with our new idea. We will also analyse new teaser trailers, and carry out further market research. The teaser trailers which we have already analysed will still be helpful, as they are set in the same era, and analysis of sound, editing, mise-en-scene and camera angles in each one will benefit our overall understanding of how to construct a teaser trailer.
