Ideas for my own short film
For my short film I was thinking of doing a reconstructive drama piece about a 'run away'. For instance I thought it would start out with a girl, me, on a train and a voice over narration from the girls point of view on her life, as an opening sequence. After which I'd have a title shot reading 'Train Journey' before reconstructing events into a narrative that explain her decisions and motives that led her to run away from home. Then I would conclude the story with an interview with the girl in a cafe explaining why she is happy with her decision, then she would get up and continue working from her break and smile at the guy at the counter to indicate she has moved on with her life. A wipe will then read the title 'Train Journey' where the first word will disappear and the word 'journey' is left and dictionary definitions will fade into the shot and sharp focus will reveal the definition 'a transition'. A fade will then bring in the cast list which will be on a continual roll on screen.

I seem to have overlooked you when i last did comments! i'm sorry. I think the blog name confused me .. in my list I've re named you Elinor to be clear. Really interesting ideas with a strong interest in how you will achieve your technical effects - well done. Don't forget to deconstruct why you want to use a particular technique and link it back to other films you have seen. What's the inspiration? I also think you need to explore your story line in terms of its narrative structure and characterisation. Make sure you get the handout from me about this and look out for questions and ideas on the mother blog.
ReplyDeletea technical point. Please make sure you know how to insert links and make sure you make your references 'live'. Otherwise it's hard for us to share and cross reference our fim viewing
