TRAILER NORMANDY LANDING

Reflection 3

Today was tough. We had many things to do, and not a lot of time. Yesterday, we ended up really stressed out because we didn't film as much as we would've liked. So today, we really didn't have the strength to work like we use to. We were pessimistic and we thought we wouldn't be able to finish. Then, as hours went by things started to work in our favour. Now we just hope our presentation this afternoon is really good and everything goes as planned.

The prices for going to the cemetery and the bunkers are not specified because they are free.

6. Itinerary and places to record


For our trailer we will go to one place:

- Omaha Beach  We will record the main scenes of the trailer. We are going to record the presentation of the actors and actresses, we are going to explain the plot and we will put the most shocking scenes of the film (2 days). The bunkers of the war are besides the beach (as you can see in pictures 4 and 5), so we will also record here the war scene, when the Nazis are shooting the Allies. We are going to spend 4 days of the week recording on this area of Normandy (2days).

Cemetery commemorating the dead soldiers  Here we will only record a scene that will be the last,  in memory of the dead soldiers on the beaches of Normandy, France. This scene needs to be shocking, so we will spend 2 days filming it. You can see the cementery in picture 6 (2 days).

We will record the trailer in this place because it is the most representative of the landing of Normandy and we believe it is the most suitable place. In total, we will spend 6 days on this area, close to the Ohama Beach. In picture 7, you can see how far the cemetery is from the Ohama Beach. All the places that will be recorded are pretty close, but still we have a lot of time to record each scene. The last day we will rest and pack to come back home.



Reflection 1

We truly think that our work has been pretty good. But we have problem. We feel like every time we go to show our work, the result is negative. We are working really hard to understand the Normandy Landing, and also to write in English everything. Not copying, writing. That's hard and we see how people are having better marks but working half has much. Maybe we shouldn't have a mark the first time we go, since we always seem to do something wrong. Then we come back, but we already have a bad (or simply lower) mark. Lastly, we think that maybe some of the questions don't coordinate with the subject we have. For example, how are we gonna look for the language or flag about the Normandy Landing? It was part of the World War II, unlike the beatles per say, that are from the UK. We cannot compare the culture of a war, or of a part of the war, since it was global.  Overall, we are happy with the way we are working as a team.

4. Characters


- Smith (Thalia)
Smith is a brave young girl that never met her father, since he abandoned her when she was only four years old. She has a really close relationship with her mother, and she is very sick once the war starts. That's why Smith fights so hard in the war, because she remembers her mother and her boyfriend, that she hasn't seen in two years. She is a nice person, even though sometimes she has anger issues about the war and blames every soldier she sees in her situation. Once they have a moment of calm at the camp, she reminds herself to stay humble, and even when the world is fighting like complete animals, she still is a human with feelings. But she is terrified because whenever she kills a man, she feels farther from home.

- Caparzo (Eric)
Caparzo is a tough man, who hardly has any feelings left. He used to live with his grandma before the war, because his mother was an alcoholic and his dad used to abuse him. Since he was little, he had such a horrible childhood that he kind of grew a cold heart. He tries to act like he's strong and doesn't feel pain, but he still has some good in him. This shows when he sees a little girl that looks like his niece, and has to help her.

- Irwin Wade (Rubén)
Wade is a humble man, that worries about others and always tries to help. He is funny and doesn't show his feelings, since in war you need to be tough, but he has a heart of gold. He sacrifices himself for the group and misses his old life. He doesn't tell anyone, but he is scared to death even when he seems to have things in control. He was never ready for war nor he is now, but he knows how to be strong, his parents taught him. He misses his wife and kids, and wishes them well every night.

- Williams (Marta)
Williams is the youngest of the group. The rest feel like she needs protection, but she fights like the strongest warrior you'll ever meet. She's fast and she has precision. She can kill a man at any distance if she has the right gun. And if she doesn't, she uses anything she finds. Hell, she even killed a man with her bare hands once. If she's out of ammunition, she'll hit you with the back of her gun. Most importantly, she always is nice to every single person on the group, and just wants to go back home.
