In a fictional, dystopian world, a boy is living in solitary. He wants to escape the place of loneliness and seeks a way out. He meets a peculiar stranger and makes a deal with each other. The boy is tasked to find three things of significance to the stranger, in exchange for the boy's escape. The boy ventures out to find the strange items and successfully comes back with all 3 items. The story ends in a cliffhanger leaving the audience question whether he escapes his life of solitary or not.
This is my chosen idea. I have decided to go for this as it is realistic to shoot in, I know a location to film it on, it focuses on only 2 characters and it has a simple narrative structure. I will be drafting the first storyboard and script for the idea in the next few blog posts. I am planning to structure the film to 3-5 minutes to make a realistic and effective approach.
*NOTE* The number of pages on the script, equal to the number of minutes. e.g 1 minute = 1 page
*NOTE* Update Review, 16/11/16 - I have decided to change my film idea. This is because IDEA 3 is slightly impractical to filming because of my limitations to equipment, props and actors. I have decided to change the idea into a crime story. The summary is shown below:
(WORKING TITLE - DAYDREAM)
A student attends his criminology class on a lesson about the infamous Red Rose Murders. He daydreams that he is an investigator and solves the murder himself throughout the lesson. The student has a talent when it comes to problem solving and analytical detective skills.
A crime genre would include a broad range of camera techniques. This includes low key lighting, which includes shadows and silhouettes which eludes to the theme or genre of mystery. Other techniques include close up shots and wide shots. This is mainly used to show an establishing shot and to convey close ups of the character's emotions and also how they solve crime scenes.
