Collaboration // Project Task & Initial Ideas

 
We choose an envelope at random which will dictate what our animation will be about. We got "The Worst Person To...". The first 3 options were given to us, 4-7 are ideas that we came up with ourselves.
  1.  Be stuck in a lift with
  2.  Enlist in the army
  3. Give you bad news
  4. Sit next to on public transport
  5. Have as a roomate
  6. Join a gym
  7. Work as a receptionist
  8. Start driving
  9. Be a firefighter
  10. Be a secret agent
The idea we tend to go with is the worst person to start driving.

The Character: A Granny
  •  Granny could use the lighter that is in the car to brand the person next to her after she runs someone over.
  • The suspension of the car would bump the car up when she runs someone over. Audience might not know until the end why she is branding someone.
  • The person next to her could be a different person for eatch skit or their could be no person at all. There could be an instructor first to teach her how to drive but maybe he gives the granny her driving license because she scares him into giving it to him.
  • She picks up a hitchhiker.
Props :
  • Grannys attitude and appearance could change thoughout the skit, maybe she puts on a pair of sunglasses to feel "badass".
  • She does a drive by past an old folks home and picks up an elderly person, who are in the back of the car for the next skit. Possibly bopping along to tunes on the radio.
  • She takes a puff on a cigarette and then a puff of an oxygem tank.
  • Granny starts knitting.
  • After the driving instructor gives her the license. It could hang from the rear view mirror so that the audience knows that she now has the driving license and doesn't need the instructor.
  • Maybe she starts drinking tea and eating custard cream biscuits. (So British)
  •  Grannys false teeth fall out.
  • She could use her walking stick as a weapon.
  • Something gets stuck in the car window cleaner.
Environment:
  • The car and interior environment could change overtime: parking tickets could be all over window, crack could appear in window, dents in car, junk inside the car, things could hang from the rear view mirror in the centre of the windshield.
  • The environment outside the car could change: day/night/rain/snow/sun ect. Different areas with different terrains.
