Scene 1

This is the first scene which we have just shot,
As you can see we have tried more different camera angles
Weve utterly changed our idea
There is scenes that happen in the middle of this so it may seem disjointed
I will upload more clips here when we have filmed them.
This is all of the hosue scenes which are offciailly done,
We plan to film the forest scenes tomorrow as its getting late in the day at the moment
Coupled with the fact that we are both very ill so we dont have the energy to film.
We dont plan to use any music in this part, or if we do it will be very faint in the background.
However our idea for the rest of the film is to use the song Discord by EuroBeat brony
Because it fits in with the idea of villans and would work in our 'dramatic running scene'
Here is the song: http://youtu.be/xPfMb50dsOk
and here are the lyrics, and if you read into them it could really work with our film:

Lyrics:

I'm not a fan of puppeteers but I've a nagging fear
someone else is pulling at the strings
Something terrible is going down through the entire town
wreaking anarchy and all it brings

I can't sit idly, no, I can't move at all
I curse the name, the one behind it all...

Discord, I'm howlin' at the moon
And sleepin' in the middle of a summer afternoon
Discord, whatever did we do
To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,
Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?
Discord, we won't take it anymore
So take your tyranny away!

I'm fine with changing status quo, but not in letting go
Now the world is being torn apart
A terrible catastrophe played by your symphony,
what a terrifying work of art!

First Draft

First draft of final film: http://youtu.be/JJSIBFPQ_H0
We plan to refilm this with better camera angles better costumes and make the film look more professional.
So to do this we had to write out a new plan:
1.(in the forest)
 Larry places toy cat in tree
produces phone
Calls the WonderWolves.
2. (In WonderWolf HQ)
Wonder Wolves playing video games
Phones Rings
Fish: "You gonna pick that up ?"
Reskell : "No, you do it"
Fish: *sighs and picks up phone*
3. (In forest)
Larry: *imiating old womans voice* "Help Wonder Wolves my cats stuck in a tree and im too old and frail to to get it, please come quickly"
*evil laughs*
4. (WonderWolvesHQ)
Fish: "Well be right there"
*puts down phone*
Fish: "C'mon"
Reskell *sighs and pauses game*
Both walk out
5. (WonderWolvesHQ)
Grabs capes of hangers
put capes on,
tie capes,
Reskell:*pulls gloves up*
Fish: "What are you doing?"
Reskell *shrugs*
Fish: *puts hand on handle* "You ready for this?"
Reskell: "Hang on a minuite"
*walks of, comes back with rubber duck*
"Im ready now"
Fish: *facepalms*
Both walk out of door,
6. (street)
Jog down the street
then jog up the forest
Reskell * stops* "I need a break"
Fish: "We havent got enough time. Ive got a video game to get back too."
Reskell: *panting* "Wait ive had an idea, watch this"
Reskell: *space walks*
Fish: *walks past* "What are you doing ?"
7. (forest)
Jog through forest
Spot cat
Fish: "There it is!"
Reskell: *reaches up and grabs it*
Fish: "Hang on a minuite"
Fish: "anouther hoax" *throws cat toy over shoulder*
Fish gets captured by Larry blanket over head, Reskell keeps walking listning to music
Fish escapes and runs away
Runs past Reskell, runs back grabs Reskell's paw and they both run
Dramatic running scene away from larry with slow mo's
Fish: "Why on earth did you bring that duck anyway?!"
Reskell: "Wait a minuite!" *stops running*
Reskell: *throws duck at Larry*
Larry *falls back in death*
Fish: "hmm" *shurgs*
Fish+Reskell *walk of*

There have been a lot of changes since friday, because of thw weather this week we have decided its not going to work being on the play park, we also think that our plan wasont funny enough and it needed a radical rewrite.
We are now shotting on the green by the park, our storyline is that Larry our villan is blowing bubbles at the superwolves who are enjoying a picnic, larry belives he is being really evil and the superwolves are ignoring him. Larry then gets fed up and steals a cookie from the picnic and runs of, enraged the two superwolves take the picnic blankets and form them into capes, they then chase larry around the park Benny Hill style. Then one of the superwolves fires a cookie lazar (as thats their superpower) and Larry dies. The two superwolves then walk of into the night to go fight more evil crimes.
You may have noticed that this effects the length of our production, but I think a five minuite long spoof would not of worked and a shorter sweeter and less superhero related short would work. Its still superhero's because they ahve superhero capes superhero powers however im focusing more on slapstick comedy of jokes anyone can understand. I think this will appeal to my audience more and will get a better reaction out of people.
This also affects the costume which I personally love because it maes it look more homemade and unbelibeale like a spoof/parody should be.
Music is now using Zelda themes, Benny Hill theme and the firing my lazar gif music.
When I start to edit or film tonight this will be easier to explain and I will make anoutehr blog to help explain this cahnge more.

Music Ideas !

Okay so I was thinking down the route of Zelda music as I think it could really work with it kind of quirkyness fast pacedness.
So i need to decide which Legened Of Zelda theme I would like to use,
Firslty their is the main theme of Legened of Zelda taken from the games Super Smash Brothers Brawl:
http://youtu.be/8-mNw11ZXbY which I love however I would have to remix is slightly to keep the action music going,
I also like this violin medley because the pacing would be right for our film, however I think the violin wouldont quite work as its a serious medley with a non-serious video,
http://youtu.be/WWyI-58gpic
Then I found this version which keeps the pace up for the whole song and was the version I was looking for,
http://youtu.be/BJSE6lsrFu0
However after editing I may decide not even to use a Zelda theme it just seems like it would work well but I cant really make any decisions untill ive strated / finished eiditing :)

Finalising Ideas

I have decided tomorrow I am going to get all of the filming done so before then I need to fully finalise all of my ideas.

Scenes:
1: Resk + Poke walking along (as humans)
2: Walk into each other, flash turn into dogs (without superhero costume)
3: Stand around confused
4: Walk along and find costumes,spin till they appear on them
5: Villan appears
6: Villan talks about them being superheros
7: Checklist of different powers to defeat him (parody like, smosh)
8: Run after him
9: Poke get caught in ropes "Ill avenge you"
10: Resk has fight with Villan
11: 'Pow' appears when Resk kicks
12: Villan brings out Kryptonite
13: Reskell bats away
14: Villan tries to strike back
15: Cut to Poke and Resk tea break (villan in background fighting air)
16: Villan storms over
17: Resk fight Villan (punch to face with pow)
18: Poke untangle self
19: Poke use power
20: Resk use power
21: Resk shoot villan with squeeky guns
22: Villan dies
23: Resk + Poke high five
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have had to cute certain scenes out of this because the villan is going to be played by Charlotte so we cant have her fighting herself, and plus, I would prefer this video to be short and sweet, because I dont want it to drag on too long and bore people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where the fursuit is concerned it is now completed but their have been developments, such as putting elastic between the arm peices because otherwise youre have to stuff the arms and they fall down easier, and that wouldont work if every time we filmes we had to keep fixing the arms, plus it makes movement much easier.
Because of time constaints I have scrapped the idea of having fursuit feet, this is also because fursuit feet have a flat bottom and you cannit bend youre feet in the shoes so it is harder to run and work and again would cause more problems on set.#
The tail on the fursuit is also very large which is partly the charecters design and although this may make it harder to use on set, it looks more realistic and stands out more to appeal to the conotations of 'this is a wolf'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where the outer costume is concerned their have been modifications, I thought about this long and hard and because im making a parody I didont want a perfectly made outfit and cape, I felt it would work better with the sort of things kinds would find to dress up as superheros. Like using sheets and just tying then around youre shoulers as a make-shift cape. I can also just sellotape the name of each of our charecters to out shirts. I also had the idea that is Charlotte's power if flight we could stick paper wings to her back. We did try this once when we did a run through back when Reskell was only a foam base and we thought that it worked well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where music is concerened I am still not entirely sure, but I think that helps in a way as I can choose what works best when editing, i do know I want to use some sort of 8-bit music from games as the music is quirky and synomanous with childhood and children. Im leaning more towards the Zelda theme, especially when Reskell and Poke become superhero's for the first time using the theme used when finding a heart container.
