3rd year project begins

My Team consists of me freddy and seb. through the summer me and freddy brainstormed a few ideas but we didn't decide on anything yet as seb was back in norway for the summer.

the story so far we come up with is The story is about a father and son out at sea, on a trip to catch fish but more importantly reform a bond that had been torn after the parents split. The story explores the growing divide between generations as technology and popular culture draw the younger generation away from continuing family tradition.
The two characters struggle to get along, both with contrasting personalities and lifestyles.
Throughout the story, the father and captain of the boat tests his son and teaches him to be honest and hard working by threatening to sacrifice him to 'The Sea Beast'.. at first the student does not listen to his dad, claiming that the sea beast is just a made up stupid thing, but at night time suspicious noises and shadows make him become paranoid and he starts to hear strange things and becomes  nervous and paranoid to the point of breaking down. eventually the captain reveals that all the things that initially scared the student are normal and that the sea beast is just a joke to get him to do work... The student so re leaved to hear that it was a joke forgives his father but a slow zoom out of the boat reveals a large dark figure underneath the boat... they are not alone!
with this story we had come up with we thought by heading down Penryn harbour front and the boat yard would help us get the feel on the life of what it's like down those parts of cornwall.







we also wanted some sound recordings of true fisherman that have spent most of the life down the harbour for some inspiration. we managed to interview some great people that gave us a good ideas now on what we want to produce for the story. whilst down the boat yard i managed to record some sounds of the waves crashing around.



from penryn we walked down into falmouth harbour front where we come across the pier infront of the chainlocker pub which was full of fishing boats that were ideal.
