1: Developing my Idea

So far I have developed my idea to a basic level. I am going to be creating an Action and Comedy short film.

The base of the short film is going to be in an interview room. One of the characters is going to be the interviewer (who is going to have a lazy attitude) and the other is going to be the interviewee. The interviewer is going to be asking the interviewee question that are job-related. Once a question is asked the interviewee is going to think of something cool to say and just imagine something over the top and crazy (which will leave the audience thinking if this talented interviewee actually has skills or not. At the end, i am also going to have a time travelling by having certain camera angles and having a clock showing the audience that time hasn’t changed. So basically the interviewee is going to go back in time so that he can redo the interview and see if he can get the job by giving different answers the next time. However, i am going to have the short film end as he enters the interview room the second time.

I know need to take a look at what my target audience likes. This is because can make a short film that i love but i can’t guarantee that the other people that like action comedy will also enjoy my short film. I must now get some research on other movies, that are in the action and comedy genres and find reviews on what they liked about the movies so that i can implement what they liked into my short film.

Pitching My Short Film Project

 

 

The Pitch went really well. Steve said that the short film is not just a short film. It must be a marketing/branding and promotion for the short film. This will be beneficial to me as the short film could turn into a full-fledged film if everything goes to plan.

I also need to get so Film theory in there about Action and comedy genres, which will come from the eBooks websites etc. This will help me develop my idea as I don’t know the storyline or shots yet.

He also said that I need to write about everything that i am doing as if i am going into this project not knowing anything about film production, he is how i am going to get a distinction. The short film must also be 5 minutes or above for a distinction.

I also need to get a lot more responses from people so that my data is more accurate. I must also be beneficial to my project and not pointless. This means that i will be able to take that data in and apply it to my project.

I now need to re-jog my memory on the basics of short films by doing some research about how long they should be and what a short film is. This is because i have created a short film in a while.
