Borderliners and The Stars' Tennis Balls

The events that occur in "Borderliners" revolve a lot around time and the fact that time seems to be controlling everybody's actions. Peter, the main character goes to a school in Denmark and claims they control everything using linear time. Peter and his two friends take an epic journey through the book to

Initial idea

For her preliminary storyboard project Marêmé came up with the idea of using a book she had read previously called "The Stars' Tennis Balls'" by Stephen Fry. It is about a boy called Ned who runs into some trouble when he gets on the wrong side of some supposed school "friends". Having read the book we decided that we would both like to take the idea forward and use it for our major project so we made sure we both read it and understood it before we made the decision. We investigated a few ideas before we came to this decision these included “Borderliners” by Peter Hoeg that Marêmé read and found some interesting quotes that we could incorporate into our story. Beth investigated using the poem “Hitcher” by Carol Ann Duffy because it can be annotated in a way that would be interesting to film, and has a strong storyline. However after looking into the possibilities we decided we would use Steven Fry’s “The Stars Tennis Balls” as our main project. Our next task will be to script and story board our idea, we will have to look into the use of cinematography, lighting, mise-on-scene and suitable actors.

Questionnaire

Our next task is to create a questionnaire for prospective audience. This will enable us to find out people's prefences of films, what works and does not, what is in demand etc. This will help us decide whether the film we want to make would generate enough interest.
