(Post 8) Dragons Den Pitch Planning

Genre of the film: Satire Contemporary Fantasy. (With a moral aspect).


Idea for narrative: Teen on a computer, is told to do homework, he opens a program to write in, once he types something he realises that whatever he writes, it appears next to him (the fantastical feature) (Setup). He messes around with this, I haven't decided what happens in this section quite yet, but eventually he pushes it too far and gets too greedy and either the program crashes and everything disappears, including the program OR the items fill the room and trap him in, causing the character to be stuck in the room. The ending being the character's mum asking / texting him asking if he's done his homework. Either way I want to show that he's been absorbed by greed.


Potential Cast: One teenage boy and possible voice for mum.


The short film is going to be based around the protagonist going through different scenarios by playing around with this program he has found, starting off simple like making an apple appear, and as it goes on it get's more profound, with the ending being him being absorbed by greed, in a physical or metaphorical manner.

(Post 5) Why are there short films?

What's the point? The point in short films is not to make money, that is the point of feature films. Short films are typically an art movement, either to provide a message, a short burst of entertainment, or to promote the creator so they could be possibly provided with a budget to create a full feature film. To provide entertainment, art or a lesson. Who makes them? Who is in them? Anyone can make a film, as long as multiple images are provided through all sorts of mediums, ranging from filming with a camera, placing images in order to make "frames" or animation. Normally the people in the film are either actors that have been hired for small amounts of money or friends / family of the creator of the film. How and where are they exhibited? Typically short films are either exhibited through either short film competitions usually hosted by award ceremonies or film companies. Other ways of exhibition is through the creator uploading the film to YouTube for anyone to

Montage Sequence

In class we watched the Rocky Training Sequence and the Up opening scene which are montages that take place over an elongated period of time in the film, but displayed in a couple of minutes, with some cases being a couple seconds. We attempted to create something similar with a character doing something over a period of time, but condensed into a small montage using the inspiration from these examples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=632hVDL_N6w  <-- Rocky Montage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2bk_9T482g  <-- Up Opening Scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lmbLwvgtHE  <-- The montage we created in class.

(Post 4) Generating Film Ideas Sheet

Image
In this task, we had to pick two numbers between 1 and 6 after certain letters, for example mine were: C33 L16 S42 O56 W66 At first we didn't know what the letters meant but shortly afterwards we were given a sheet which displayed what the letters stood for and a table underneath them. This 6x6 table had different descriptions of items within them. C stood for Characters, L for Locations, S for Situations, O for Objects and W for When. As I got C33, I had to go 3 across and 3 down the table and resulted in "Two large spiders." for a character. L16 resulted in "A very deep well." as a location, S42 in "A mummy comes to life." as a situation, O56 an "Unexploded mine" and W66 as "Next year." C33, Two large spiders L16, A very deep well S42, A mummy comes to life O56, An unexploded mine W66, Next year  The point of this is so that we get these features and put them together to create a
