Proposal For My Groups Short Film

For project production we have been assigned a short movie project. The movie should last between 5-7 minutes. Are class is to do this in groups so I have teamed up with Kieran Jones, Carlina Flood and Harry Symes, as we all want to create a short fictional movie.

I choose to work on a short film because I have only done a couple in the past and I wanted to branch away from making music videos as that is what I usually choose to do when given this kind of free rain.

As a group we have discussed several different options for the story line, here are some of our potential ideas;
• A gritty film based around a homeless persons love for a woman/drug
• A horror film about a killer ghost
• A action/comedy involving three separate storylines that come to a head at the climax of the film which would be a drug deal
I find myself leaning more towards the last idea than any of the others. I believe that this idea would be a lot easier to make look believable and would be more entertaining idea for a short film, though I should stress that a final decision on the storyline is yet to be made.

Our main intentions for the film are to make it entertain and captivating through out and every member of our group is well aware that it can be difficult to achieve this.

Meeting Number 1

The first meeting of STI5 took place at Kieran's flat.
Chloe, Kieran and myself all attended.
In this meeting we decided; that the theme of are radio program would be sexually transmitted diseases, that we would use vox pops to portray public knowledge on the subject, that there would be a casual humorous feel to the program, that we would seek out a expert in the field of sexual transmitted diseases and interview them on the subject and that Kieran and Chloe would be the presenters of the program and I would over see most of the editing. We chose to have Kieran and Chloe present because we felt it would be better to have a spokesperson from both genders.

Soundscape

Soundscape Proposal

I have decided to record my soundscape at bath spa train station at 5.30pm, rush hour. The recording will last approximately 4 minutes.

First off I will record the ticket room i.e. people the sound of buying tickets and rushing for their trains. Then, for the second stage of my project, I will move up to the platform and record trains arriving and departing, people walking up and down the platform and the announcements being made. Then I will board a train for the third and final stage of the project and record the journey to Old Field Park.

The reason I have chosen to record in a train station is because I think it will be the ideal place to capture a live and real atmosphere what with all the movement and stress that surrounds public transport.

Montage

This is a photo montage I have made using audio from the Radiohead song 'All I Need' and photos taken by myself on the 5th of November (bonfire night).
I originally planned to use still images and video footage, but due to a hardware malfunction I was forced to use on still images. To work around this problem I attempted to give the montage as much motion as I could by syncing the images together in such a way that it looked as if they were moving and connected. I also cut the shots to the drum beat and, towards the end of the montage, the bass line.
For this montage I took inspiration from the Passion Pit video 'The Reeling'.
