Fairy Dust

As a starter fopr a main task and getting ideas flowing, we used a technique called fairy dust. As I was unaware of what this was, I did some research and it turns out that you have to get a bottle and each person of the team has a notepad with them at all times and whenever they have an idea, no matter how stupid, bit, small, funny, or inventive it was , it went into the bottle folded up so you could not see it. After about a week or so of doing that, you open the bottle up and look at all the ideas everyone has come up with and put in there. Some ideas turn out to be totally useless and something to laugh about, but other ideas were good enough to put into the production of our main task. We then as a team had to decide on three main ideas that would be used as the basic back bone of our movie. For my group the three ideas that came up were:


shooting at a station
various shots of trains, and then you notice a girl in the shot which
is the protagonist. she looks up and someone walks into the shot of
the camera. A train goes past and the screen fades to black.


Various shots
 Focusing on different parts of the body. for example,
 eyes looking round, leg tapping, lip biting, nose sniffling, wringing
 of nervous hands

A voice over
I am searching. But I don’t know exactly what
for. Is that even possible? I ask myself every
day.How am I supposed to find what it is I’m
looking for if I don’t know myself? The map is
blank, the memories erased. Like my mind and my
voice, neither belong to me anymore. I can’t even
scream for help. I am broken and the pieces are
disappearing. One...By one.
