Week 3 Reflection + Developed idea

So far I have developed my idea to a basic level with some detail. I am going to be creating an Action and Comedy short film that is going to be heavily based on visuals to make the viewers laugh. I also know that i must have 4 to 5 imagination sequences as this should fill up the 5-minute time frame. With this, i must have a different reaction from the interviewer.

In my short film, there are going to be the two main characters, The Interviewer and The Interviewee. The Interviewer is going to be quite grumpy and lazy. The Interviewee is going to be nervous but pleased to be there. Also, he wants to impress The Interviewer by giving him the best answers he possibly can think of. While he does this his mind will drift off to think of what he is going to say. as the imagination sequence in happaning, he is going to be telling the interviewer what he is thinking about. However, there is going to be a time-travelling aspect right at the end so it makes the audience think that these things he was imagining could have been real.

The two main characters are going to have very different personalities. The interviewer is going to be grumpy and has a lazy attitude. The interviewee is going to be happy and enthusiastic. I found this out because in my rush hour blog having two characters that clash can make it really easy and funny to make jokes up. So I must now do some research on how my characters should react to each other and how i can make the short film imagination scenes look like there are in an action scene.

This is where i am so far with my idea… Its all well and good having a basic idea down but i don’t know how to get my actors to act. I now need t do some research on facial expressions so i no how to direct my actors. this will also help me when developing my Codes and Conventions research about the Comedy genre. This is because i need to get this step right as facial expressions or what makes comedy nowadays.
