Minutes meeting 4.

Minutes meeting 4.
26th January 2011, 9:10am
JW Mac Suite.

Agenda:
Finalize idea

Present:
Chris, Kyle, Alex, Anwar and israh joined late.

Kyle: The postman walks towards the door and sneezes on the letters just before he posts them. The postman then posts the letters and a women picks them up.

Me: How will the germ spread from there?.

The original idea consisted of the virus being spread through the food the mother was making, me and kyle thought this lacked originality.

Kyle: The virus could be spread by the letters, someone could pick up the letters and hand them out to the family members.

Israr: Israr turned up to the meeting late, he was briefed on what we had talked about so far and had concerns about how much the original idea had changed.

Me: I stressed that the original "first person" idea had not changed we just needed a more interesting way to spread the virus through the family.

As a group we spoke about how the virus could be spread.

Kyle: Kyle brought up the idea of the letters being the main cause of the spread of the virus, the virus will spread round the house before everyone sits down to eat dinner. Then the advert will rewind back to the start then we will see how the virus is stopped.

Minutes meeting 3.

Today we had a lot of confusion about our idea between the group so we decided to hold a minutes meeting;

25/1/11 1:15pm

JW Mac Suite

Agenda: Finalising visual concept
Present: Kyle, Chris, Israr, Anwar, Alex

Kyle: We could do two sides to the advert, a wrong and right, and show the exact same happenings but taking different actions and the consequences caused.

Chris: Using the idea we have, we could split the screen showing the wrong and right.

Kyle: Could be hard on the eye.

Israr: (Idea) We have a child walking down the stairs, a parent enters the house, when the child sneezes, then in first person the germ jumps out the child's mouth, then the next scene would be of a parent cooking when the germ enters starts to enter the dining room, the germ the sneaks around until it reaches it's target.
(End of meeting)

we came back to the meeting later that day, i took over the role of handling the minutes.

As a group we all agree that we need to show people most at risk of catching the N1H1 virus in the advert.

Kyle: A postman posts mail into the letterbox, but sneezes onto the mail as he posts it. Germ is shot in first person view as it enters the house, the germ sneaks around the house, peaking round corners, sneaks up on parent, the jumps onto her (in first person) and infecting her with the virus. The parent then sneezes spreading the virus to the food.

Kyle: We could show the whole advert then, you would see it all rewind really fast, to the point where the mother sneezes onto the food, and see her just catch it in a tissue and bin the tissue, to show how easily you can prevent the spread of it.

Israr: A mature voice over is needed for the voice over at the end of the advert.

Kyle: How are we going to show the parent passing the germ to the rest of the family? We could show her sneezing onto the food and then she serves it up infecting everyone who's eating it.

Anwar: At the start of the advert we could show the parent picking up the infected envelopes showing how she catches the virus.

We ran out of time, but we all agree that we need to think of better ways showing the spread of the virus than just through food, and because it's an extended advert, we can show a variety of ways because we have enough time.

Minuites meeting 2.

Meeting #2

5/1/2011 11:30am

JW Mac Suite

Agenda:
Our idea
Finalise job roles
Props needed

Present:
Kyle, Chris, Israr, Alex, Anwar

Kyle: I started the meeting off discussing our idea for the 5 a day extended advert.

Israr: Suggests an idea that we could have different fruits; Pineapples, grapes, strawberries, apples, and oranges all in a fruit bowel, they all race to make it to the food blender, which will be the finish line.

Kyle: I like the idea, but would the fruit shake look appetizing, if you're trying to get more people to eat healthy, the food needs to look appetizing.

Anwar: Where would it be filmed?

Kyle: I suggest in college or we could film at my house.

Israr: Suggests we could film it using a white background, similar to the iPod adverts so the focus of the advert is on the fruit.

We finalised our job roles which are;
Producer: Israr
Director: Kyle
Sound/Programme Researcher: Alex
Illustrator/Writer: Anwah
Cameraman: Chris
