Short Film Group


The task we were given today was to begin idea's for a short film based around "people on the move" with the brief of "Create a 'story' that should be a sequence of a character(s) moving location to another (total running time 1.30 - 2.0 minutes approximately). Make sure the story has a strong narrative running through it. Consider how your story will be interpreted visually. Recce all locations and plan your shoot accordingly, think about additional close-ups and illustrative shots. Draw up a preliminary storyboard." After being paired up in a group with four other people in my class we spent the first half an hour sketching out different mind maps and generally brainstorming different idea's.

After initially deciding we wanted to do a film based around "a day in the life of a homeless person" when we came back to the idea a week later we decided as group we wasn't happy with this idea and went 'back to the drawing board'.  Yet again we brainstormed idea's until we settled on the idea of making a comedy based on a students journey to university but with a twist. 

We decided to make a facebook group for the five of us to share idea's about the film and filming dates. (shown below)
