Game Plan

To make the best film out there I'm going to have to put aside a fair amount of time to give this project the attention it deserves. This blog entry isn't going to be so entertaining but, is certainly necessary so I can map out what needs to be achieved throughout the project in order to get the best outcome!

RESEARCH:

I will watch and make blog posts on the following films we were given:

Slap (2015) , Nick Rowland

Tight Jeans (2008) , Destiny Ekharaga

The Ellington Kid (2012) , Dan Sully

Over (2015) , Jorn Threllfall

Echo (2011) , Lewis Arnold

Operator (2015) , Caroline Bartleet

The Arrival (2016) , Daniel Montanarini

The Fly (2014) Olly Williams


From watching these and other research I hope to understand narrative in short film eg: the three act structure. I will need to learn about using narrative techniques, dialogue, character development and dramatic devices. How points of view are conveyed both intended and interpreted meaning.

I also plan to establish
- What I find interesting about each film.
- What I could take from them.
- What I could develop into my own ideas.
- Anything I wish to challenge about the films.

PLANNING:

Some things I will be producing during planning are:

- A Draft Script

- Location Report

- Notes regarding casting

- Storyboard

- Screentests and notes
- OF COURSE LOTS OF BLOG ENTRIES TO KEEP YOU UPDATED!

EVALUATION:

I also have to keep in mind throughout the project that I will have to have evidence of the below in preparation for my evaluation:

- Evaluation and Analysis in relation to professionally produced short films

- Evidence of evaluation and research linked from the professional short films watched and my final product

- Make use of appropriate critical approaches

- Discuss micro-elements of film form generating a preferred and alternative reading of a short film

MY EVALUATION CANNOT EXCEED 1.500 WORDS.

By the end of the project I plan to have
- Research and planning documents
- My short film
- My Evaluation
- My Coursework cover sheet
